From my experience, it's hard to press the buttons on the eee since the plastic kinda blocks your finger when you try to press down the button. But I guess that wouldn't be a problem anymore here since there's no plastic chassis on the buttom of the buttons.]]>May 21st 2010 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/
its actually not so bad - the button is pretty 'clicky' so you can rest your thumb on it without depressing the buttons. ]]>May 21st 2010 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/May 21st 2010 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/
Frankly that's the deal breaker right there. Why can't we have NORMAL trackpads? You know, ones that are smooth and distinct from the rest of the material? I'd go back to the ole nub-in-center-of-keyboard deal instead of using their sh*tty trackpads.]]>May 21st 2010 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/
Trackpoints are the best. You don't need to lift your hand to scroll across the screen. Instead, it is just one smooth motion with an index finger.]]>May 24th 2010 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/May 21st 2010 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/May 21st 2010 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/May 21st 2010 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/

1. Web browsing
2. Email client
3. Ebook reader
4. Media player
5. Games
6. Apps like pandora, netflix etc

also while netbooks technically support flash they are useless for flash videos like hulu.]]>May 22nd 2010 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/May 22nd 2010 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/
all I have to say is....

wooooooowwwww.........

If this isn't an attempt at trolling then this just makes me a sad panda.]]>May 22nd 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/
1. Web browsing

no flash => no the full internet experience.

2. Email client

So what, my old cellphone can do that, in fact almost any modern cellphone can do that.

3. Ebook reader

Again, every gadget can do that.

4. Media player

OMFG, again every cellphone can do that.

5. Games

Not all games and without real buttons is pretty useless.

6. Apps like pandora, netflix etc

And what's missing :
flash.
office (real, not a cripped read-only application).
photoshop and all the adobe suite.
and many other applications.

Just 15 hours of near idle usage. Cant even begin to imagine battery life whilst watching flash video.

FLASH is NOT the end all and be all of all things in the computing realm. ]]>May 22nd 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/msi-rolls-out-wind-u160dx-netbook-with-15-hour-battery/
Steve Jobs is a genius. He is try to convince that *less is more* and some people is believing this crap.

However, if you're talking about Flash, then less is most definitely more.

The hardware all works well unlike any computer i've ever used, especially after a format. It's a very good company in my opinion and I will buy ALL my netbooks from them especially when I can run XP on them. ]]>May 23rd 2010 11:15AM
