    "The best balance of speed, battery life, & portability"

    by can8v on January 15, 2009

    Pros: After using this computer I will not accept a smaller screen or keyboard from a netbook, both feel quite roomy on this machine. Extremely active user community at msiwind.net. 3 USB, 1 VGA, multi card slot, separate speaker & mic, and ethernet, Duh!

    Cons: The battery release catch seems a little cheap.

    Summary: You will always have to sacrifice something when going from a laptop to netbook, but you sacrifice the least when that netbook is the MSI Wind. One of the lesser known perks is that you can set the screen resolution to 1024x768. You will have to scroll up and down to see the whole screen on the 1024x600 monitor, but this is extremely helpful when installing some software that runs quite well at 1024x600 but refuses to install on anything less than 1024x768. I have made the adjustment to install a couple of applications, then set it back after the install completed.
