I'm on a 3rd world country, what is an insignificant amount for Americans, is a great deal of money for me]]>Jun 3rd 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/
If could do the 9" and cut back on the unneccesary features like webcam, bluetooth, and dropped the 80GB HD for something smaller, and then charged $300 for it, that would be fine with me. Sort of what Asus did with the 2G Surf model EeePCs, but better. The Surf compromised too much to the point the it was almost useless (and not upgradable), and was still about $100 more expensive than it should have been.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/or that engadget card is really really big

It's the motherfucking Wind. It's slightly larger than the EEE, but that also means it has a keyboard that's actually usable.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Consider Sarcasm

We've learned that Dell makes excellent computers and has good customer service. At least that's my lesson after buying a 24" monitor and an XPS1530 notebook.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/
I don't doubt for a minute that you had a great experience. In fact, I'm sure many others have as well. I will even disregard the fact that I owned three different Dell (two Inspiron 4000-series, one 8000-series) computers that all crapped out at one point to make my argument as unbiased as I can.

However, there are many reports that show that Dell has an unacceptable rate of failure for its desktops and laptops (TV's are well-regarded) akin to the Xbox 360. They also show that Dell's service is seriously lacking in response (once again I would love to use myself as an example, but choose otherwise). This is further exemplified by the fact that Dell itself recently vowed to direct a huge sum of money toward revamping its service operations. Lastly, Dell was recently held accountable in court for its misleading pricing strategy (among other things).

So let's look at this rationally. Shall I buy a computer from a manufacturer that has evidently fallen from grace, or shall I choose one from any number of more reputable manufacturers? It's not as though we don't have several choices in this arena of commerce. Why take the risk?

Thanks for responding, Jeff.]]>Jun 4th 2008 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/I have no doubt that you could come up with "reports" that show Dell in a negative light. On the other hand, I could come up with a bunch that show the opposite. Dell is not the perfect company and I am NOT a Dell fanboy, however, I've had nothing but positive experiences with Dell products and Customer Support. This includes my personal purchases as well as dozens of systems purchased by the company I work for. Yes Dell has their problems but taken in the grand scheme of things I think the positives outweigh the negatives. If you've had bad experiences with them then, by all means, stay away. Just don't assume that your experiences are shared by all of Engadget's readers.]]>Jun 8th 2008 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/Jun 3rd 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/8-9-inch-msi-wind-shows-up-at-computex/

It seems like the only difference between XP version and the Linux version is the battery.
