A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

Today we’ll be looking at the MSI Wind (U100) netbook. This 10” netbook sets some feature standouts at a very nice price point. It has Bluetooth, Wirless b/g/n, LED backlighting, and this model sports the hefty 6-c ell battery pack...

Some important revisions make the original MSI Wind U100 the netbook laptop to watch.MSI may not have been the the first company to join the netbook mêlée with its little MSI Wind U100 notebook, but the past few months have demonstrated that it has cr...
Bottom line Larger storage, better networking and the all-important extended battery life make the revised U100 a winner. Combined with the more attractive choice of colours, free carry bag in the box, and an extended warranty to 2 years, we feel the original MSI...

MSI's Wind NB U100 is one of the first Intel Atom-based mini-notebooks to appear. And like the Acer's Aspire One, it gives a clear idea of what the bargain-priced CPU can handle. Update: 24 October 2008: MSI Wind U100 review.Other components include 1...
Bottom line There are some solid reasons to consider MSI's Wind. It's small and fairly light (about 1kg), and it's sturdy enough to take a beating. But other solidly-built mini-notebooks are just around the corner, including Lenovo's S10 and probably an entry fro...

When the Asus Eee PC was first unleashed into the world last year, people fell in love with the form factor. They liked the idea of having a notebook PC that was so much smaller than even the most compact of laptops at the time. Sure, you could have...
Bottom line On paper, the MSI Wind should be able to blow the Asus Eee PC out of the water, but as always, a hands on evaluation will put this question to rest. It’s got a real hard drive, giving you a solid 80GB of storage capacity. Since this is a regular SATA...

As if the ultramobile PC space werent already crowded enough, MSI Computer Corp. has blown in with its Wind UMPC. MSI basically (though not literally) took the ASUS EeePC 900, improved it, and slapped its own branding onto it. The Wind doesnt go ou...
Good Aggressively priced (under $500). Runs the Intel Atom platform. Big 10-inch screen. Very light. 80GB hard drive. Windows XP Home Edition.

Bottom line There's a lot to like about the MSI Wind. It's a great design and benefits from an excellent keyboard and screen, but it's let down by battery life that cannot compete with the Eee PC 901 and undercut by a re-branded version, making you think twice. It's...
