5 Stars The Best MacBook Nano !!!!
I installed in it OS X 10.5.5 and works very good. There are some issues with the sound but
it can be worked out by buying a very cheap ( 8 dollars ) USB adaptor.
I have several Mac boxes at home and in the office and I happy that now I also have
a MacBook Nano 
5 Stars love it!
I love my new laptop. It is easy to carry to school with all of my books. Works great too!
5 Stars great little product
[[ASIN:B001LNUJ5Q MSI Wind U100-280US 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 6 Cell Battery, XP Home) Pink]
I did some comparison particularly with the samsung n10 the biggest difference seem to be the keyboard, mainly the right shift key placement on the samsung (less awkward was the sentiment) and a tad longer battery life. But I find the Wind keyboard to be quite comfortable (especially for the difference in price). I will mainly be using this at home so battery life (extra 45 mins or so on samsung) is not a great issue for me either.
So far, I love my Wind and I really love the PINK.
4 Stars MSI Wind versus Acer Aspire One
Let me start off by saying I have owned both of these laptops so I can make a good comparison.
I bought the Acer Aspire One about a month ago. It is very pretty and stylish. The battery life was almost seven hours and the keyboard keys were very responsive and had a nice feel to them. However it did have some problems. I noticed that the cooling fan on the Acer was abit loud and was noticably slower while using for internet than my other laptops.
Also about a day after I bought it you would hear a beep about once every 30-45 minutes from the system board so it had to be sent back as faulty.
I guess you are wondering if I am reviewing the Acer or the MSI at this point? Well I am reviewing both.
Now as for the MSI Wind. I received it a few days ago and yes it was more money but after using it for some time it was well worth it. The screen can display full web pages. It seems like just the slightly larger screen on the MSI makes a huge difference in viewing ease.
The battery last about 4.5-5 hrs on the MSI still very good and the keyboard is spaced better the the Acer but the keys are somewhat mushy and don’t feel as responsive but can get used to it. I also found out that enen though both the MSI and Acer share the same cpu and memory size the MSI Wind was noticably fast in all respects including internet use. What I did not like about the MSI is that it is a little tippsy when on your lap if not carefull it could possibly tip over. That would be really bad.
PROS: MSI larger screen displays full web pages.
Screen is much easier to view than the Acer
Keys are spaced better than the Acer
Battery life is 4.5-5 hrs
Much quiter than the Acer both fan and hardrive noise
Feels much better build quality than the Acer
Surfs web faster than the Acer.
The speakers on the MSI sound better and get louder than the Acer
Comes with a really nice white with pink beading protective bag.
Much nicer bag than the Acer non-padded sleeve.
CONS: Not as stlyish and pretty as the Acer
battery has slightly less run time than the Acer
Cost more than the Acer
Can be somewhat tippsy on your lap
I would for sure recommend the MSI Wind
5 Stars Perfect for its purposes!!
I bought this netbook for my daughter who’s 13 and pink in every sense, and I don’t regret it. It is perfect! It works great, it’s fast, no problems at all with internet, or even the bluetooth. The screen is 10″, so it’s a little bigger than the usual 8.9″, and the keyboard is soft and easy to work with. Sound is ok, nothing extraordinary but if you want something else there’s always the chance to connect speakers. Battery is great, worked for over 5 and a half hours. In All an excellent purchase! I recommend it!
