Loading of online streaming videos is highly depends on your broadband connection not on the hardware you have.

Just to share.
I've just purchased MSI Wind U100 Plus from Carrefour retailing at $729. N280, 2GB Ram and 6 Cells batt.
With the Everyday POSB credit card, I'm getting 5% discount and 5% rebates.
So effectively MSI Wind 100 Plus cost me $656.10.

to be exact, it's (5% on 100%) + (5% on 95%) discount because the POSB rebate is based on the net price after the 5% storewide discount. Effectively, it's a 9.75% discount - still pretty good

That's true. I don't quite like the keyboard protector either. I thought they have some adhesive to put it in place but I don't think it came with it.
All long my laptops doesn't have a screen protector on it, I'm leaving it out.

There are stickers inside the keyboard protector. Use the stickers and it will stay on nicely.

For myself, I throw the whole packing away and didnt realize there are stickers inside for the keyboard protector. I just lay the keyboard protector on the keyboard but it keeps moving off. In the end I find some double sided tapes and stick it myself. Now it stay on nicely as i type. I would recommend you to use the stickers.

I saw the stickers but it doesn't look like double sided tape to me. I am not sure how to use it. It's a long thin white normal stickers. I am wondering how do I use these stickers?

its a thin-layered double sided adhesive.

the only trouble is, where to paste them

I checked with my distri for the keyboard protectors, the reason why there is no allowance at the top and bottom for you to apply the double sided tape is because they wanted it to be compatible with another model as well...

So for MSI Wind, I can either order the keyboard protector (customised), or you guys can cut the tape into smaller pieces, apply at the 4 keyboard corners, on the keyboard itself..

I stick on the Esc, F8, Del, Caps Lock, Enter, FN, Spacebar and Right arrow key.

You may want to cut the tape and stick it to the under side of the protector.

How much for the keyboard protector (customised)? Any photos how it can fit the MSI Wind keyboard nicely?

The visibility of the double-sided tape seems acceptable.

Hey guys, don't mind answering this question of mine.
I need a laptop for computer science assignments (school), would a netbook suffice for normal programming work ? Visual C# and dev C++

Thanks.

I think it shld be able to run programming softwares but won't it be very taxing on the eyes when you need to concentrate on your codings especially when you're debugging?

I think is nice and clean.
