MSI Wind

[Wzierbovsky]

Yep it was $718 or so earlier this week on Monday. I think the price drop is very recent.

A$680 was the price Aussy was selling actually about 1/2 a month back..

Just adding on; notebook review did a simple performance test on the MSI Wind comparing between XP and Vista, and Vista showed better performance:

Using Battery Eater, Power Saver profile with LCD lowest brightness + Wifi on + Bluetooth off, I got 4:53 hours on Vista. I'll do the Balanced and High Performance profile tests later.

Was wondering. Did anyone change their Wifi Card? I've got a brand new and sealed Dell 1490, I was thinking, is it necessary to change? Considering that I'm already having the newest of the 3 Wifi Stock cards, detection of connections seems good and stable, only this is that I get max at 54mb max, which is normal right? Or are people getting 130mb or so with different wifi cards?

just a chk if anyone had already reformat their WIND already?

Reformatted in terms of the F3 Recovery Method? If yes, then I have. =DDD

 

[rome2ng]

how to restore with the F3 button ?

what does it do ?

what does it do ?

After the start-up screen with the word MSI in the centre (Also the screen where you either Press F11 or Del to go into setup screen), you'll see a black screen with nothing except "F3...".

At this screen, when you press F3, what happens is that it will ask you if you would like to reformat the computer (or somewhere along that lines), if you choose to do it, the Wind will auto reformat your computer and restore it to the most original form, which would be out of the box. Its like as you you just reinstalled windows.

Btw, anyone looking to get a travel charger for their MSI Wind?

I ordered one online and its arriving probably within a week. But here's the thing, I accidentally ordered 2 instead of 1 due to some screwed up error that said my 1st order was cancelled. So I did the 2nd order, but when I checked my e-mail, apparently, the 1st order went through as well! So now I have ordered 2!

I've already e-mailed the person in charge to clarify this and check if I can cancel either one of my orders, but in the situation that I can't, I'm going to sell off one of them! So anyone interested?

This is the one: MSI Wind Travel Charger

Also have review for this particular charger: lee262online MSI Wind Travel Charger Review

Please let me know. I'll let go cheaper if I'm really desperate, if you're nice, you can just pay me the same price as getting it yourself. =DDD

If anyone's interested, we've just reviewed the MSI U120H.

Sorry so the capacity is 4400 mAH or 4200 mAH? Content writes 4400 but the specs on the left is 4200..

U120 In short..
Good: 3.5G at S$999
Bad: Shorter batt life due to smaller cap 6-cell batt, only 4200/4400 mAH compared to U100 5200 mAH

 

[Callandor]

Hi, sorry for the confusion. It should be 4400mAH.

 

[CBBcbb]

Hi,
I noticed my wind sound is very soft & 'echoing''is that normal?

 

[Someonez]
