Again, Thanks for the effort, i hope u guys can provide a conclusive solution to this bugbear..

I would like to add that given our predicament, b very honest and some might not agree with me but we should focus our attention in zeroing the problem towards the hardware, software part of WIND, rather than questioning the reliability of the hotspot, network we are using.

as based on my experience when surfing WIND at Braddell Mac, no one seems to kena this disconnection problem.. if the network/hotspot S@ck big time.. i think no one would want to tap in there.. just my 0.2 cts view

Thanks for all the work in pin-pointing the suspected problem areas and working to solve these issues, will definitely want to see problems solved first before parting with money on Wind.

Me just doing whatever I can to help push Corbell/MSI to resolve these issues for you early adopters...

So far the news is that it's like the Eee PC's card reader - doesn't officially support SDHC, but works with certain brands of SDHCs.

we used a 16GB SDHC.

That's good to know. Brand?

This review failed to get their SDHC recognised. They were using a 4GB SanDisk Extreme III SDHC.

Ok... i use this energy plug here to test the power consumption of the Wind PC

On normal surfing usage, the set itself uses 15W of power in all.

Charging a 3 Cell battery is an addition of 15W.

so it means if you put it on power for your downloading 24 hours 30 days at 0.2388 cents per kilo watt it works out to be about 2.60 bucks per month.

This is the exact same method that VR-Zone used. It isn't accurate cos power is being dissipated in the power brick as heat, hence the full 15W doesn't go to the Wind. Nevertheless, $2.60 isn't much .

Good to know that some worked and some don't so we can avoid those cards that have issues. So far I have a 8G Toshiba SDHC one, ok or not with WIND?

so doody, are u saying that the actual consumption is actually less?

Er, since the point of the power brick is to reduce the power going to the laptop by dissipating it as heat, then it's quite likely that less power is going to the laptop since the power brick heats up while in use.

Lol that was a rather circular statement .

That aside, have you tried powering on your Wind with the battery out and plugged into the mains? It doesn't seem to be possible, as reported in another review (which I can't find at the moment).

eh... let me see if i read you correctly: take the battery out from the wind pc, plug in the power and power it on.

can i can do that. as i am typing my 3 cell battery is next to me.

It's an A-DATA Turbo.

Peekture here.

Corbell kindly check and double check and triple check before selling the wind black.

Thanks you.

Do not wish to you see you again after getting the black wind.

Thanks you very much

Alright, good to know .

 

[WindBoi]

the fact is that corbell can't do much about this since its msi's problem. should have probably use intel's card.

 

[billovee]

althought is msi problem, as a distributor or wholesaler , they got their responsiblities to make sure their product really working well before selling.

If they realise got problem, they need to complain to msi. and stop selling wind till the problem solve.

This is call responsible wholesaler.

Like that they will have less complain and problem for them to solve. Good to them and good to us too.
