Biggest selling point is the 9 cell battery... 14 hrs life, If it gets over 10 hrs in real world use that's awesome.

Thought this was a pretty great price for a netbook...
boxing day sales had netbooks for 249.95 BUT they had win xp, n270 processor and only 3 cell batteries

Mine's on it's way

edit: forgot the price

329.99

My MSI Wind bricked itself after 6 months of use (6-cell battery). It took 4 months of communication to get their tech support phone number. When I called the number it was no longer in service but found it on one computer forum. I was able to get a replacement battery from MSI but that battery stopped working after 2 months and then charger stopped charging my netbook all together. I went to visit some of the MSI independent retailers and two employees advised me to stay away from MSI products in general. Maybe their experiences were with their barebones kits or motherboards but most common word associated with MSI is "cheap." You get what you pay for I guess. Best of luck.

Nah don't agree MSI is Tier-1 for mobo's. I have not had an issue with my U100 but that doesn't mean I won't

I have been using their mobos over the last few years they have been super solid.

Decent deal for the netbook however 9 cell kinda defaets the portability, my 6cell seems to be more than whats needed..

MSI; good band, bad lap/netbooks.

+1.
I brought a MSI Motherboard with MIR, I sent out my rebate form 6 months ago. I didn't get a penny or status update. I got my rebate from Asus and OCZ within 3 months. For sure I will stay away from MSI.
