MSI Wind

[doody_]

But Wind doesn't have Glossy screen does it?

Why would you want a glossy screen? It makes it hard to use in sunlight .

 

[snipes14]

Personal preference . I feel colors are more vibrant with a glossy screen . Plus i won't be using it in sunlight anyway

 

[doody_]

IMO it's not just sunlight. Any strong light in the wrong position will cause a very bad glare on your screen.

Installing the HDD into the Wind and transferring data should be $50 .

How about installing the HDD without transferring data?

after upgrading to the new bios and SCM, duno why i experience a couple of times that my wireless network dropping. Have to restart the computer to re-detect the wireless network. I also re-installed the wireless drivers a couple of times, lastly resorting to use the realtek ones to control wireless setting then relying on the default windows one.

Anyone else have this issue?

Because of limited stocks, in Funan, only PK Computer has.

But Digital Life did not test the Asus 1000H so I felt the test was not representative of what is out on the market.

I am still deciding between the Wind and Asus, but the 3 cell is a certain disadvantage.

The Wind is priced at $859 but it's still only 3 cell and I actually played around with it at Carrefour Plaza Sing. The matt finish is great and so is the keyboard - better than Asus 1000H. But the Asus definitely has a better build and the 6 cell battery is drawing me closer to the Asus.

I almost died laughing reading that article this morning. Anyone here in hardwarezone can provide a better indepth review. Its like they got a bunch of netbooks and spent 10 minutes to "touchy feely" each as opposed to proper benchmarks hard/software tests. If the company says it has 6hrs battery life as instead of actually testing it they just take it for real.

But anyway this has always been the norm for digital life. They use terms like quite good, not bad, reasonable. I normally read for the entertainment, i take their reviews with a pinch of salt. If not i would have made many bad consumer choices by now

LOL, pretty true, i don't really expect them to say much about the netbooks. They even get a student to view how good is the A1, one more to add, a ah kong rating a netbook? he just need any laptop that works, he don't care whether it is nice to use or not lol!!!

The worst thing is that the layman on the street will usually take Digital Life as being a credible source. I told all my friends to think of Digital Life as a "By Layman, for Layman" kind of thing. Or rather "By idiots, for idiots".
