    "Great netbook"

    by dummer101 on February 10, 2009

    Pros: 3 usb ports as opposed to the standard 2
    vga out
    big hard drive for a netbook ( i dont like the solid states)
    Good performance
    reliable

    Cons: Battery life
    web cam

    Summary: I picked this MSI wind at best buy on sale for 300 dollars. This thing really was a great deal. for the price you could get a dell mini running on linux with an 8 GB hard drive and 512 MB of ram. This has 120 GB hard drive and 1 GB of ram and running on xp. For 100 dollars more you could get the HP mini with a 16 GB hard drive and 512 MB of ram. I really love this thing. Its awesome. I thought the performance on it wouldnt be that great, but it really is pretty good. I can run itunes, word, firefox, and photoshop at the same time without a problem. I really dont know why everyone is all crazy about the SSD thing. I dont like them in net books. they often have just enough space to have the operating system and thats it. i like the wind becuase it actually has a usable hard drive. The only bad things that i have seen with the wind is that the battery life is short and the web cam sucks. but i dont really use it so it doesnt matter to me. overall i think this thing is great and i highly recomend it.
