GRL | MSI Wind U100 Netbook Review

Video in full 720p HD. 160GB Hard Drive 1GB Ram Intel Atom 1.6 CPU 10″ screen 1.3 Mega Pixel Camera Bluetooth Wireless B/G/N 6 cell battery (5 hours battery on full system usage) Internal Multi Card Reader 3 USB ports XP SP3 Heres where I bought this particular netbook from: www.micro-p.com
Hey randomasiangeek.
From what I have found out about that product code – its the same as the model I am reviewing up there, just with a 3 cell battery, rather than a 6 cell battery. I really would recommend getting a 6 cell battery – it makes a hell of a difference for how long you can use it for without charging!
Thanks for watching, and if you liked the video, please consider subscribing to stay updated with all the new cool things that are coming soon!
Thanks very much for your feedback I hope you have a great time with your new netbook!
thanks for quick reply. 3 cell battery is a little disappointing but thats the only model they have. i guess i’ll order a 6 cell battery online. again thanks for reply
Yeah, it will be worth ordering as an extra. Thanks for subscribing, and I hope you enjoy your netbook!

Can you download itunes and frostwire and aim and the normal programs easily on this? And, when i want to import pictures or video from my camera does it do it easily?
I have ALOTALOTALOT of music on my computer as of right now. when i buy this, will it take up most of my memory?
Hey Francesca
Yep, the MSI Wind will be able to run all of those programs. The netbook runs windows XP, which is similar to windows vista if your home machine runs that.
The netbook comes with a “Mini SD card” reader, which is the sort of card most cameras take – so getting pictures from a camera to the netbook is a breeze!
Also, the model I’m displaying here, the MSI wind U100, comes with a lot of storage space (120GB hard drive) which should take a lot of songs!
Hope this helps!
hey dude i have the same version but in black color ya know but i have a prob, the laptop is working fine but the few days the camara dousent work!!! plz repond soon !!
Hi, there is a button on the netbook that turns the webcam off to conserve battery life. You can turn the webcam off/on by holding down the blue Fn key on the bottom left of the keyboard, and pressing F6. This should turn on the webcam if it has been turned off. If that doesn’t work, try using MSI’s restore disk and see if it includes the webcam drivers and re-install them.
Hope this helps!

battery life?
Very good. Aprox 6 hours heavy use.
The screen is only 1024 by 600 so It would need to be connected to an external montor for 720p wouldn’t it?
Correct, although not sure if this could actually output HD. The graphics cards fairly week.
Thanks for watching!
This One And The LG X110 are The Same
Very good review. Can you install microsoft word && excel and all that?
Yep, you can install and run all of Microsoft office. Thanks for your comment!
Nice, only persuaded me into wanting one of these more! Gonna pick one up this upcoming Friday. I may even get a RAM upgrade for it too.
Suggestions for the video though: drop the background music, you were rather quiet as it is.
seriously…for an extra $14(or so) who would not add the extra 1gb ram?
It makes a world of difference , especially in turbo mode, don’t even think about it ..just do it
awesome, thinkin about gettin this one or the hp mini 110 (canada) … nice video, you just talked about everything i wanted to know ! so cute too kk adorable accent !
