 Great little machine November 10, 2009
TallGuy
Bought this little machine a few weeks ago. So far, it's exceeded my expectations. Boots quickly, battery lasts a long time, has a nice display screen, and much more.
I have only one very minor "issue" -- the internal speaker; it's pretty weak, although I somewhat expected this deficiency, given the units size and price.
On a side note, I've linked up my bluetooth headphones with it and that works well.
All in all -- worth every penny.
Does just what I need October 23, 2009

This netbook is perfect for what I wanted it for-travel. I can stay on top of e-mail, reservations, etc. Long battery life, great screen,reasonable price, and a decent size keyboard all come together to make the package work. I know some don't like the size of the battery; however, it does angle the keyboard for a better feel and I am more interested in long work life than looks or the "bump" on the bottom. I actually prefer this to my laptop except for the missing DVD/CD drive but I knew that going in.

I buy this computer to go in my Eurotrip in august, this net book have a very good performance about battery, and the next investment for this netbook are a 2G of RAM, now runs Windows 7 and runs nice, but I think if install another 1G of RAM runs very very quickly!!!
I recommend this net book for long travel!!!

POSITIVES:
- Battery actually does last 9 hours, 6 with full brightness
- Good keyboard
- Not too loud
- VERY bright LED screen
- Comes with a nice zipper case
- Matt screen
- Excellent WiFi reception
- Sturdy design
- Runs XP great, starts up faster than my Core 2 Duo Vista Notebook
- Good Audio Control Panel
NEGATIVES
- The case is a white that clashes with the blue
- The CPU is too slow to handle flash video without being a little jerky (Hulu, Youtube etc) but its still watchable and I do watch video on it every day
- The GPU is clocked down to 100mhz but should be 400mhz, this is the case with all netbook but a program called GMAbooster can fix this
- The netbook doesnt contain the official drivers for the trackpad, you'll probably need to track down the real drivers which are available on [...]- The two mouse buttons are really crappy feeling
- Finger prints like crazy
- Doesn't have easy access panels for Ram upgrades. I still upgraded my ram, but some users might be more afraid to do it now; I didnt think it was that hard
- USB ports continue to power devices even after shutdown
Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase, and very pleased with MSI. Its a great netbook and I have a lot of fun with it. The power adapter is larger than I would like, but the battery last so long it doesn't even matter. I have tried to play older games like Counter-Strike 1.6 (15 FPS) and anything 3D just really suffers. Also Adobe flash (most online video) is really taxing on a cpu and it can get a little jerky but its still watchable, I wathc the News Hour with Jim Leher (American Politics Assignment) every day on it, as well as my favorite shows on Hulu.
Great Netbook, I get lots of questions from curious people.
Keep in mind it doesnt have a CD drive. You could however share a cd drive on your network from another computer using Map drives (built into windows) and I think that would work for most uses if you do not have an external.
 wireless web? September 28, 2009

It should be very plain on the set up fold out page, how to connect to the internet. After a few go arounds with it and talking to your tech support, I learned that one simply need to at the same time hold down the Fn and F11 key.
