Koobten – Netbooks and moreNetbook reviews

Yugatech reviews the MSI Wind U100 and gives a generally favorable verdict.

If you looked at these specs (including possible upgrades to 2GB RAM and 320GB HDD), they’re very comparable to a lot of entry-level 12.1? to 15.4? laptops from last year. In a way, we can now say that the MSI Wind has a good potential to be a primary laptop (see related story on Intel Atom here). The design is simple yet elegant with a glossy finish on the screen lid so expect it to be a fingerprint-magnet.

Given that the Wind comes with a generous 10-inch screen, it can be considered enough for most to serve as a primary computer. Remember that for in some markets, netbook manufacturers are targeting those whose use would be as a primary computer, rather than as a secondary/portable one. Given the relatively lower prices of netbooks, as compared to, say, a full-featured 14-incher, I would find this reasonable.
