9-cell batt? wats the weight liked man?

i think the 6-cell is abit heavy leh.. is the 3-cell sold separately?

 

[Corbell]

i have one wind and intend to upgrade it to 2gb ram, where can i do this? must it be done by corbell?

Let us help you to upgrade the ram. Only $35 for 1GB.
Just come to our service centre at AMK. Cheers.

 

[Corbell]

that's the love edition for the wind and it's mainly sold for charity.

Yes, for some developing territories/countries only.

Wind with 3 cell is 1.2kg. With 6 cell is about 1.45kg.
With 9 cell will be 1.7kg?? I dun know because MSI Wind dun have 9 cell.

If buy a UMPC and the weight is heavy, than defeat the purpose of buying UMPC... IMHO.

haha yea.. it's very transparent.. and can't feel the it either. it's super thin doesn't hinder my typing speed at all

may i ask where did u buy your protector?

 

[krozkriz]

is the noble red just like the romantic pink, where only the cover is red and the rest of the interior of the netbook is white?

or is the whole netbook red?

 

[GeneKoh]

Any of the early adopters been contacted by Corbell yet to purchase the 6-cell battery at a special price after leaving their details?

i believe it's like the pink version, where only the cover is red.

i dunno why the msi pink version we have here, the palmrest is white.
I see pics online the palm rest is pink

Darn. You think I can get away with enlarging the picture of the LOVE edition and buying my own Crystal Gem Stickers to recreate the Pattern at GMASK?

Will GMASK void the warranty?

hahhaa. smart sia. why didn't I think of that

dun think it will void.. but best check xD

 

[sassyhoneybee]

@ frozentrace,
hmmm perhaps those are just prototypes... from the MSI official website it's clear that only the cover is pink. maybe they changed their mind at the last minute?

since your mod is only adding new decals to the cover of the wind, it shouldn't affect your warranty coz it's not hardware replacement like that of the hard disk drive, etc. but i don't know whether it will infringe copyright though.

I was at the Carrefour tech fair of Plaza Singapura.

They are selling the MSI Wind with 2Gb ram, and hard disk of 160gb. Along with a 6 cell battery.

Going at $899. Can pay in installments over 12 months~

Good buy. Too bad they are left with white colour. Should i get it now? Or wait till black comes along?

The tech fair ends this Sunday!

Thanks a lot!

well if u r going to pay using POSB everyday card u may want to wait, coz it is relatively cheaper ($855) if u purchase it at carrefour rather than those IT shops. Alternatively u can get from bells, fuwell and pc themes and it will be around 899~

using the wind to post this reply

has the 6 cell battery reached? my 3 cell can only provide me with 1+ hour (close to 2 though) of battery life
