MSI Wind

[chaw_pig]

anyone knows if the spec of this is enough for a student (who isnt into gaming)?

as long as you are not using engineering drawing software like AutoCAD, i think it is ok.

Definitely seems enough to run most non-3D programs, like say, Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, etc. My 4 year old AMD Athlon 1.8GHz can still run any mordern day application fine if you don't multi-task. Heck, even Crysis, Command & Conquer 3 and World In Conflict are still playable on my computer.

but then again..

for someone who has no laptop, which is better?
1) MSI Wind or
2) cheapo sub $1k C2D laptops

anyone can comment if the weight and size will be a big diff?
or mayb point out any sub $1k light laptops to compare?

Those sub $1K dual core ones are usually 2kg or more, and with a 14" screen. This is 1.2kg with a 10" screen. Of course there's a big difference in the specs...

my friend is a business student, so there is no real need for powerful laptop?
but then again, he is going for overseas exchange..
will a MSI wind be enough as a primary computer for 6 months?

 

[idiort]

Er don't think so... the MSI Wind is a lot more useful with a 10" screen and 80GB HDD.

Lol as long as the speakers output sound, they're good enough. You're only paying $800 .

 

[idiort]

Cannot think that way, now IT product price keep dropping.

Singapore currency now very strong. US1.36 = S$1.

Therefore our $800 quite big you know.
