And ofcourse it would run circles around the wind. Only a few $100 bucks more expensive. No wait time either. ]]>Jun 27th 2008 4:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/
BTW, my penis is better than yours because it has FireWire 800, Bluetooth, Ethernet, WiFi, and DisplayPort! NUB!!]]>Jun 27th 2008 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/
I'm not reassuring myself. I am reassuring you guys that it is ok to buy a TZ. I'm trying to convince people to get a TZ over a Lenovo X300 and Macbook Air for months now.]]>Jun 27th 2008 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/Jun 27th 2008 4:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/
And even if its more then one year old or even if its a low end version of the TZ. My vaio TZ still runs circles around the wind. The last time I checked the wind was still like what..? 700 bucks and features a single core atom processor? Wich btw gives even less battery life then a ULV C2D processor not to mention its performance.]]>Jun 27th 2008 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/Jun 27th 2008 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/

Maybe that's a cause for the delay too, as they're supplying Medion first.

The price is just 400 yuan (approx. $50) more than Eee PC 900 Linux

So I have two questions, you may help me with:

1.) Which netbook has the most durable chassis in terms of build quality. I am not talking about SSD vs. HD oder niceness or form-factor, just which netbook doens't wiggle, eek and squeezes?
2.) Which netbook has the best screen? Not in terms of size (we are talking kids here and 9" is smaller than 10" - we know, we know) but in terms of max brighness (sitting outside with the kids?), color reproduction - simply which one - regardless of size - made you happiest?

All the other information I was able to get from you articles - thanks again!

Netbooks have their niche, i.e. mobility, although frankly I'm not sure why you'd need mobility in a classroom setting to compromise on screen size. A low-end Dell laptop, like the Vostro series, is a better choice if low-cost is your goal. Or, you may be in a posh district and want to spring for wee eee's for all the lil tykes to carry home, in which case, buy a model that has the largest color selection!]]>Jun 27th 2008 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/Oops, forgot about your questions. Answer: You know as much as anybody here, as none of them has shipped yet!

Anyway, I see your 'outdoor' criterion, which would make sense to get a netbook. Realize that these things are cheap, i.e. with old-tech screens that are washed out in direct sunlight.

@The bumpkin who advocates SSD over HD: When you drop a laptop, the first thing to die isn't the HD but the screen. For lil kids, may be a good idea to to outfit these with custom rubber bumpers.]]>Jun 27th 2008 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/Jun 30th 2008 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/Jun 27th 2008 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/Jun 27th 2008 5:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/
1 - 901 got a reanforced chassis with metal stuff , maybe better to keep it alive with kids.

2 - 901 got non brilliant screen, not the case for the msi ( maybe i am wrong about the msi screen, but sure 901 is good for outside use )

3 - 901 got SSD, you want to let kids use the computer, maybe the SSD is the best choice, the DD will crash surely.

4 - sorry for my english i am french :)]]>Jun 27th 2008 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/Jun 27th 2008 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/

There have been 44 pages of posts from Wind-boys since June 13th when the MSIWind.net forum for ordering first opened. It sounds like some customers blew their whole paycheck on a Wind order.]]>Jun 27th 2008 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/msi-wind-delayed-again/
MSI will probably make more money selling them in Germany at AldI even with the 19% VAT compared to here in USA because of the comparative value of the Euro/Chinese Yuan/Taiwan Dollar. Similar to reported shortage of Wii Fits here. Nintendo made more profits selling them to the Euro Zone because of the decrease in the value of the Yen compared to the Euro.
