jkOnTheRun- First look at the MSI Wind with 6-cell battery
Kevin Tofel spends 20 minutes showing every aspect of the MSI Wind with Windows XP. The 6-cell battery with this netbook should last for at least five hours. It’s quick to sleep and resume!

Great review! I was just wondering how heavy the Wind was with the 6 cell battery. My current netbook (Asus eee PC 1000H) is 3.2 lb with a 3 cell so I’m looking for something a bit lighter and hoping the Wind would be less than 2.5 lb.

August 23rd, 2010 05:33
lol, they are not $260 on ebay…not even a refurb
August 23rd, 2010 05:33
99% sure it comes with a 60-day trial. But I’d check out OpenOffice. Basically freeware Microsoft Office. Switched a year ago and haven’t looked back.
August 23rd, 2010 06:16
Does this come with microsoft works of office of some kind?
August 23rd, 2010 06:46
not really, the 160gb 6 cell model can be had for about $330… or even as low as $260 (i’m gonna get one at that price) brand new on ebay.
August 23rd, 2010 06:52
geat review, thanks! Only thing is, at least for me, if you’re gonna spend 600 for this you may as well get a real laptop. I know you’d lose portability but you get more in functionality. IMHO

matte screen is better for reading – less eye strain. Gloss is better for pr0n.

Check out the new Samsung nc10 …its getting rave review betting all the netbooks out there
August 23rd, 2010 07:41
The Samsung nc10 is beating this wind to the punch with EZ access ram upgrade and better features.
August 23rd, 2010 08:11
please, answer kevin, according to your experience, which one is the best: MSI, acer one, asus eec or lg x110????? basic specs: 1 gb ram, windows xp, 1 gb ram- atom or better…. anyway, you need also to know danish zepto…

HEY!I just bought this laptop and recieved it from the mail today. Only problem is I cannot connect to my wireless belkin network or connect to my modem with USB wire. I got a cd that says driver, install. But there is no CD on the MSI. When you recieved your MSI how did you get wireless connection? Mine says “not connected” but I know my router is working because my iPod Touch recieves the wireless network. But my Laptop can’t. Do I need to update Driver? Thanks.

Excellent review! Thanks a lot.

I’ve had a wind (3 cell) a while now. Really nice review, the way you narrate/present the MSI Wind is great!
August 23rd, 2010 10:18
Finaly a good review for the product!
August 23rd, 2010 10:37
What input voltage does the MSI Wind require? Would it be compatable with the 16-20 volt DC output of the APC Universal Notebook Battery?
August 23rd, 2010 10:47
Ow, right – we also got the new EEEpc with Atom & it’s also around $690 (but I believe that it has 6-cell battery). I don’t really like the design (if comparing it to One or Wind), but the fact that it has a lot better battery it’s also not something to ignore.
August 23rd, 2010 10:49
Hi Kev, great review (as always =)).
Well, I have a question – I’ve been buying a “mini pc” for quite some time … but we actually only had EEEpc 701 until a few weeks ago.
Now I have a possibility to buy either:
1) Acer Asipre One (~ $570)
2) MSI Wind (~ $690)
There are the prices in my country – both with Windows XP & 3-cell battery =/
As you had the opportunity to test them both, maybe you can give me some feedback on +/- for this mini notebooks.

I was planning on getting one of these but after seeing the Everrun Note AMD Dual Core, everything else is on the bottom of the list now.
August 23rd, 2010 11:53
acer aspire one all the way!!!
