The MSI Wind U100 in black.
Designed especially for mobile devices, the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--to conserve energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet--up to 6 hours with the included 6-cell battery. This model also features a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB max), internal stereo speakers, multi-format memory card reader, three USB ports, and a VGA monitor port. It also includes the next step in Wi-Fi networking with a Draft-N wireless LAN (802.11b/g/n). This model comes in white, but the Wind is also available in pink and black, and it includes a carry bag that matches its color.
Ride With The Wind The Wind--which stands for for "Wi-Fi Network Device"--offers a number of convenient features that make this mini notebook a highly functional and easily portable laptop PC. The 10-inch LCD screen has a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution, which enables you to view full web pages while browsing the Internet. It's also embedded with an LED power-saving backlight technology, which not only helps to lower power usage but also provides richer and brighter colors. The Wind U100 is also equipped with a 1.3-megapixel webcam (placed in the bezel above the LCD) and integrated microphone, allowing you to snap still photos of yourself while on the go for sending via email or join video chats with friends and family.
The keyboard is 20-percent smaller than a standard full-sized keyboard, but offers excellent spacing between keys.

The ergnomically designed keyboard--just 20 percent smaller than a full-sized keyboard--provides excellent texture and tactile feel when typing, and the keys are spaced at a comfortable 17.5mm width (0.68 inches). Additionally, the ingeniously designed spacebar and 2.1-inch touchpad allow your fingers to move smoothly while avoiding strain.
The Wind U100 also has the ability to magnify text within software--whether it be an Internet browser or office document--with a unique magnifying glass overlay, making it easy to focus in on what you're reading or precisely edit photos.
Finally, your Wind U100 will is constructed using a special Insert Mold Roller (IMR) technology that protects the notebook from fading and also reduces the impact of fingerprints, so the laptop will continue to look brand new.
Processor The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).
Hard Drive This version of the Wind U100 comes with a 160 GB hard disk drive (5400 RPM), which offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.
Memory This laptop is installed with 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, which has a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. It can be expanded to a maximum of 2 GB. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive Because of its size, the Wind U100 does not come with an integrated optical drive, but optional CD/DVD read/write drives can be connected to the laptop via one of the three USB ports, enabling you to create your music mixes, burn movies to DVD, and more.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion This notebook can be wirelessly networked with the integrated Draft-N Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g/n). Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks, allowing you to link up to home networks as well as Wi-Fi hotspots while on the go. You'll also enjoy wireless connectivity to a wide range of peripherals with the built-in Bluetooth. It comes with the following ports:
3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 headphone/line-in and 1 microphone/line-out
1 VGA video output (15-pin, D-Sub)
4-in-1 memory card reader, compatible with Secure Digital (SD), MultiMediaCard (MMC), Memory Stick, and Memory Stick Pro
Fast Ethernet port for a 10/100 connection
Dimensions & Weight The MSI Wind U100 measures measures 10.23 x 7.08 x 1.24 inches (WxDxH) and weighs 2.6 pounds.
Power This model of the Wind U100 comes with a 6-cell rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which provides up to 6 hours of usage. The long battery life is aided by the low power consumption of the Intel Atom processor, as well as MSI's ECO energy-saving technology, which can distribute power intelligently and adjust screen brightness to prolong the operating time of the battery. Using the ECO Engine software, you can choose between five power modes--gaming, movie, presentation, office and turbo battery.

Very usefulNovember 17, 2008 It's small size allows me to carry everywhere, battery life also is very long (6 cell gives about 4 hours). I highly recommend it.
MSI WIND U100 160GB white 6 cellNovember 17, 2008 Nothing to complain. The only thing I added was another 1GB of RAM. Weird, once you have done so, the warranty is void, since the sticker over the screw is destroyed. A great bargain for $480, good quality and excellent performance! Webcam, 160GB harddisk, Bluetooth, Atom-Processor, 10 inch display and a keyboard thats big enough. Make sure you order the one with 6 cell battery ... enough for 5.5 hours of fun.
The best ChoiceNovember 16, 2008 This is a mini laptop to travel and work in your dialy life. I recommended to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB, and Windows Vista work fine if you don't use a big software. Nice contruction, a long life of battery (6 cells). Please use the activation bottoms if your need wi-fi and other services, you must do it in after the first boot. This is the best choice at the same family mini laptops.
Best Netbook to Date! AmazingOctober 31, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is by far the best Netbook to date on the market. I would give it 5 Stars but two things really bother me and a third thing is just frustrating (Keyboard, Touchpad, Balance).
Keyboard Issues: The great thing about this Netbook is being able to type on it like a normal (huge) sized Notebook. I am a graduate student and type b/w 3,000 and 5,000 words a day and have no problem at all typing on it.
HOWEVER: for those people that use the Control Button (to do Ctrl C, Ctrl B and all other Ctrl functions) you will notice that it is not on the far left of the keyboard (the FN key is the farthest left button). I use it a lot and probably will get used to it quickly and I am sure most people who do not type as often will not notice it at all. And NOTE, this is the best keyboard on a Netbook out there (I have the Acer Aspire One and it does not even compare-- tactile feedback is better, keys are larger and the touchpad is bigger.
TOUCHPAD: The touch pad left and right click buttons are molded into one button grouped together. Not a big deal but can get annoying sometimes as you will have to press hard or click on the very far left or right to make it easy.
Battery Pack: Although the new 6-Cell battery gives amazing battery life (5-6hrs) it makes the device so "back heavy" that it is constantly falling over backwards. Not a big deal just something they could have fixed when developing.
Again these are small issues and this IS THE BEST NETBOOK ON THE MARKET. Coming from someone who types all the time you should not have a problem with the keyboard and you get a laptop that is 2.8lbs and one where everyone will tell you "that is the smallest laptop I have ever seen".
If you need a new notebook or netbook get this one, for the money you cannot go wrong!
Head-turning netbookOctober 24, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Well, this is a great product. Feels solid, the only thing is the mouse pad is horrible for scrolling but you get use to it easy. I am not surprised the price is going sky high on this thing. Brought it from Amazon for 474, plus free shipping.
