MSI Wind U100 Review

Fri Nov 20, 2009, 6:48 PM
Today I had the chance to use a MSI Wind netbook for a while. I decided since I love tech so much might as well write a review on some tech. I give the MSI Wind a 4/5. The screen is bright, the backlight and colors are perfect. The 10" screen is nice, it has a built in 1.3 MP webcam/microphone. I have not been able to test it but I'm sure that it works fine.

Programs load quickly and it boots up quickly. It has a 1.6Ghz atom processor and 1GB of ram. The OS it is currently running is Windows XP pro. It wont be able to run graphics intensive programs or memory intensive programs. For Photoshop I would use gimp, for MS office i would use open office, I would not use this program for animating or 3D effects. No games.

The hard drive size is small, only about 100GB but since it can't run too big of programs you should be fine. I haven't tried video playback but it is a good screen for personal video playback.

The mousepad is mostly ok, I haven't figure out how to scroll after at least two hours and the right and left click buttons are hidden in one bar and at first may or may not be easily located.

The keyboard is small at first but after a while you get used to it. The keys are smaller than a normal laptop but some keys are squished into fn+ combos, slightly annoying but survivable. I love the keyboard now, I am up to my normal typing speed and I only have minor problems right now using punctuation.

I would definitely recommend using as many open source programs as you can because they run better than most other software. I would also recommend maybe installing a Linux distro such as Ubuntu for increased speed.

The wireless card works well and I have had no troubles with it. It has a built in media card reader that I have not been able to test because I don't have any cards to put in it.

It has three USB ports, VGA-out, input/output audio jacks and ethernet. The laptop is really light and portable. The battery life with the backlight dimmed is reported by the laptop to be about 2 hours.

For $330 this laptop is a great buy for someone who plans to use this in college. Its lightweight, portable, decently fast and good for taking notes.

Due to the fact that I don't own the MSI Wind and can't install any new programs to test out functionality, test the speakers, use the webcam or do benchmark tests this review will be slightly incomplete to other reviews.
