Two tone scheme, regardless of who's making it, is heartbreakingly ugly for me.
I know what you mean, make it all black please.
I see what you did there.
"We caught wind of this one"
*Groans*
if you end up buying one, don't drop it...
...you might break wind.
when you're done with it, please pass the wind..
why do they waste space with a vga port?
Why wouldn't they waste space with a vga port?
Well, when I'm at home at at my desk I plug in a full size monitor.
i guess i assumed that everyone was using dvi or hdmi at this point.
projectors; heard of em?
why does god waste space with your inferior vga-less existence?
just playin'
whats the battery life on this?
the assembling quality of MSI's notebooks are always one of the greatest.
The whole bottom of the laptop is 4 total pieces. Keyboard, motherboard, top piece, bottom piece. Thats all. My Wind U100 is very solid, despite being apart multiple times.
I totally agree with you Jose, material and assembling quality of MSI's notebooks are one of the greatest, especially if we compare with Asus. Look VDO in this link, http://www.bestdealsonar.com/15-off-msi-wind-u120-020us-10-inch-netbook/
Was holding out for this, but the two-tone scheme is killing me! I want all white or all black please.
As long as I keep frantically upgrading my U100 I can perhaps stave off the feeling of envy that this evokes.
Too true. It was a cheap initial purchase but the mod-friendliness keeps running up the bill!
I love my wind. Dual-boot OS X and XP ftw.
I like the black and white. Reminds me of adidas.
How much is this thing? Prices aren't rising are they? Netbooks started out about $450 and are now as high as $800. Defeats the purpose and all. Anyhow, very interested... Two-tone and all.
"caught wind" hur hur.
Did Mr. Blurry Cam take these pictures?
I thought the original specs reported here on the 'gadget was Wireless B/G/N AND 6-cell battery
Ugh. Someone should just shoot photos in auto mode...
Too much bokeh, looks like a food blog
shave it down a coupla stops please so more of the subject is in focus, frame too for that matter
I hate the keyboard layout with the extra key between the left shift - Z key and the extra key by the vertical enter key.
Awesome~Classy, Rich looking. Soooooo much better looking then the kiddie/cheap looking u100
Looks Ok,I am not loving the Two tone thing (Epic Fail).
Still like my Wind U100.....
OK, I pre-ordered one from Frostycomputers for $379--but no bluetooth or wireless N. They have some wirelessN/bluetooth in stock for $449 http://www.frostycomputers.com/product_p/u120-020us.htm The "owner" is an auth dealer of MSI's and says mine should be shipped on Monday!! :) Unfortunately, 2 drawbacks: The one with 3G won't be available in the US for 2-3 months and the owner of Frosty's said that they're impossible to upgrade to 2G RAM. :(
He's got a video on his site that shows the "upgrades" to the casing, etc.
Looking forward to flying with my Wind!!! ;)
It's really cool you guys got a digital SLR, now it would be great to learn how to use it. Do a little research on something call "depth of field", you'll see, it's great stuff
