As with the Asus model, I can't see these things selling north of $500, especially with the baseline coming down to $300-400 range for netbooks. ]]>Oct 9th 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/

Compared to the 'Original' MSI Wind/Advent 4211 - the Keyboard is horrible, cheap and overly plasticky. It appears you have to remove the battery to insert it SIM (No biggie) but I'm glad saved the £70 and went for the more solidly built one with the 4:3 screen...]]>Oct 9th 2008 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/Oct 9th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/

Range is a bit better.]]>Oct 9th 2008 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/Oct 9th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/
You asked if 802.11n has an advantage if you have a 10mbit internet connection. I suggested that an advantage is the better range of 802.11n vs 802.11g and older..]]>Oct 9th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/Oct 9th 2008 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/
First of all, I have no idea what trolling is. Second of all, I did not ask about an advantage. From these answers, it is clear that if you have one laptop and a cable modem, 802.11n provides NO additional benefit in terms of speed (other than the indirect benefit to speed that your range is bigger).

Thanks to everyone who did not answer my question at all, but instead was incredibly defensive that I could question the latest technology.

The further you get away from the access point, the lower your connection rate goes. Range DOES have something to do with speed!

Let's say you have a 10Mbps service and you are in your backyard hooked up with your AP at 2Mbps. A wireless-N connection may connect you well over 10Mbps.. or even 100Mbps, so you can have even faster connections with your other local computers.

And when in a room with poor signal, that can even mean having a connection or NOT - which is a HUGE difference....]]>Oct 9th 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/

You will not get a speed boost from a draft-N receiver (it isn't necessarily any more sensitive than a G part). Draft-N routers typically have boosted output power and bandwidth, which allows larger range, but many older G routers can also do this--typically with 3rd party firmware--so the "N gives you more range than G" is not really true.

2. One uses such things to connect to file servers as well as to the internet. Looking a snapshot photos stored on a machine in one's home is an example where very fast transfer is preferred.

3. The folk who came up with "draft-n" actually have certifications for "draft-n" in advance of 'N' proper. Seems odd, but they do so there's some hope of interoperability.

4. Personally, our home's internet speed is 20 Mbps and is connected using "draft-N'.

5. With our switch from 'G' to 'draft-N' we got a measured 3X improvement in speed. Particularly useful for #3 above.]]>Oct 9th 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/Oct 10th 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/09/msis-wind-u120-netbook-gets-pictured/Jan 8th 2009 12:53PM
