does any one know where the ram who comes in the wind u100 from factory is located? and how to reach? coz i think ori is 533 MHz and other one i bought is muskin 667 MHz
and on everest does not show ram type or speed

if not too sure, better return to your seller ask for favour

check with your msi seller & main distributor any void warranty if DYI first. you need to open up entire bottom cover

i just wonder how to install windows vista by myself into Wind if without DVD drive?

use an external dvd drive lor

or connect the desktop's dvd drive to the wind using the external 3.5inch hardisk casing

cloud9_lee, don't use Vista on the Wind... it will slow it down to the point that it's hardly usable. TRUST ME ON THIS.
Stick with XP or Linux.

Oh yeah, back from my US trip and the Wind holds up AMAZINGLY. Because of the small size of the Wind, it's really handy to take out during the Security check in the US. Awesome awesome awesome piece of machinery.

That is not true. Im running vista ultimate with aero. Able to play WoW. However it has 2GB of ram instead of 1.

But according to here : http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4505
Vista > XP on Wind

i read the review.. just google it bck...

how the aero performance on Wind?


the performance test figures tell the truth

confusing confusing...different review will give different answer..only try yourself then u know the truth

mind to share your review links ?

Well from what I heard, vista on the Wind = slower performance.
But will have to install it for myself it.

I'm more tempted to replace it with OSX though

Add in 2GB Ram sure fast lah~ it also depends how those apps consume d Ram. If it fully utilize but stil under 1GB then need not to waste money 2 upgrade or upgrade later better use d money to buy extra battery.

Sometime also depends on your luck, not every machine in d same batch was d same performance so they got this manufacturing WARRANTY,if yours is more prone to problems then u were probably d unlucky one and it usually not bout d spec.
LoLz
Am waiting for Dell E release on August or MSI 6 cells, by that time i may also opt for Asus 901. Mid August wil b probably cheaper. Imagine that u can save somewhere RM 200 by tat time in jus 1month laps. RM200 i may buy 16GB SD card for Asus 901 or any of it. D big picture in mind is worth waiting jus a month.
Good luck.

I read too many till i confuse oledi..so i dun wan to take in heart anymore..just go and try it..look at it...love it...then angkat it home! easy as 123...

hmmm.. played with wind in lyp..

i notice its vibrating.. coz of the hdd???

Could be the fan. It runs pretty hard when it's under alot of pressure. But the good news is that the heat dissipation is excellent because of that.

Would have a month before I have to take my Wind back on the road (this time, Europe), so will experiment first had with a few operating systems and see how.

Any news about the promotion for the coming PC Fair for MSI Wind? Into consideration of getting one if there's a good bargain

Btw how many available colors are there?

should be same
just get more cheap2 freebies

i think the mail colours are black white and pink ~ i wonder do they have a 6cell batt version

You mean like this?

for wind users, may i know how long roughly you can use the wind (on its 3 cell batt) before it requires a charge? normal usage

i heard that they are bringing in wind 9" specially for this pcfair. complete with windows for abt 1.6k

really? but its not even launched yet in malaysia
nevertheless, i want the 10.1" one

Have anyone seen wind 6 cell on sale in Malaysia? Seems like the official price in US is 549 but I bet it will be close to 2000MYR in Malaysia.

im hoping it'll be available in PC fair
still dont know wind vs 1000h which is better =.=

is there any 9" wind in pcfair??

if not means distro tak sempat bring it in.. damn

i m wondering is this MSI Wind good??? anyone here encounter any problem or limitation yet???

i m planning to get the MSI Wind U100 for this coming PC Fair. with additional of external DVDRW Drive. everything is in with Genuine Windows XP Home.

RM1899 + RM200 = RM2099. (worth buying?)

good for me to traveling around, surf at outstation, play RMVB, bluetooth to my phone and online with 3G, and also bluetooth with my HOLUX GPS.

with the add-on GPS installed, no more problem for me to traveling in Kedah and rural place in Malaysia.

i got the price in http://www.computerwar.com.my
they are in PC Fair KLCC, Hall 1, Booth 114.

i think this store sapu all the stocks... i have search for it in else where, cannot get.

anyone else got other source? please guide. any stall in LOW YAT selling it??

the only real limitation with wind is the 3-cell battery IMO. if you are happy with that then it's a fine machine

Added on August 1, 2008, 12:32 pmoh..just saw that computerwar website... got 6-cell version for RM2188 with free MSI mouse, for those interested..

2188 for Wind 6 cell...freaking overprice....ideal price should be not above 1.8k...otherwise go for Eee PC 901 6 cell for 1699.

too expensive!

Rm2188? for additional 3 cell?

Whats the different with 1000h???

1000h is RM1999 is it? so can compare direct with wind 2188, both 6-cell. still i prefer 901

wahhhh RM2188 ... daylight robbery !

eh but it's Limited Love Edition wor... looks quite cool but a bit girly

Computer War selling MSI Wind Rm1899 3 cells battery with XP. I think we better wait a few more weeks as in the US, the 6 cells are selling for US550~RM1800. As more dealers stocks on the Wind, price will surely drop. There will be competition also from Dell E.

Added on August 1, 2008, 4:35 pmASUS Eee PC 1000H vs. MSI Wind: 10-inch Mini-Notebook Face Off
http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/ee...nd-faceoff.aspx
Verdict

On paper, the Eee PC 1000H and the MSI Wind NB are evenly matched, especially considering there same $549.99 price tag. In our close, the Wind took two rounds, the Eee PC 1000H took one, and one ended in a tie.

Certainly the Eee PC 1000H is a strong mini-notebook. It has a stunning design, strong speakers, and solid performance and battery life. But if you are looking for the best 10-inch mini-notebook, the MSI Wind stands triumphant – though not by much.

Updated: 7/30/08 as of MSI's change in price

Winner: MSI Wind NB

wow..seems like both got its own strong point! really hard to choose!

any news from PCfair ? what is the selling price in PCfair in PCFAIR for 3cell and 6cell?


really thinking of buying a unit

3 Wind sightings in PC Fair

1) Intel Atom roadshow, can test Pink coloured MSI Wind together with Aspire One and EEE PC 1000

2) Computer War
Black Linux - RM1750 (they changed to RM1638 after told of MTEC's RM1688)
White XP - RM1899
Pink XP - RM1899
White Love 6 cell - RM2188

3) MTEC
Black Linux - RM1688 (can nego to RM1620)

A call to MSI distro in malaysia says that there is no 6 cell except the MSI Love. 6 cell batteries will come in the future, and est price is RM3xx.

Very tempting the black linux, but i dont like the colour . Attracts oil easily. Gotta see how first la. Like the white very much. If only got 6 cell .

Actually can consider the White Love 6 Cell model ... i dont mind paying for a limited edition lappie =)

but its too, unprofessional (aka sissy) =.=

lolx ... I'm in the advertising line.... CREATIVE MAH ... hehehehe

it's a shame the black linux doesnt come with Bluetooth...otherwise there wouldn't be much to think about anymore, sure buy edi.

Later down the road I dont mind paying for another 6 cell, den can use 3 cell as secondary batt

I planning to get it. Anyway, can it able to do Pro-E? Cause I see it can support vista, if vista can work, pro e should can ba. If can, that wouldn't be awesome No one try to upgrade to 2GB ram?

yeah the design i think is abit off

Added on August 2, 2008, 9:07 amhi the black linux edition selling for how much ? with how many GB ?

MSI Wind U100 (Black) also GOT bluetooth la.
MSI Wind U90 (Black) NO NO NO NO bluetooth !!!!


anyway, i have checked with MTEC...their model is Wind U90. which the screen size is smaller at 8.9" only....not so reasonable....screen res proportion not suit normal use....look a bit ugly.
the body size still same...i think bigger screen is easier for our eyes.

Where else the other booth, is MSI Wind U100...which is 10" and the screen res is higher.

the webcam for MSI U90 is lower at 0.3MP... do check again for the correct model. why MTEC never identify these spec clearly??? luckily i check it on the internet and called to Media Forte (the MSI authorized distributor).

i m going for MSI Wind U100 definately.
who else is selling in PC Fair KLCC, beside Computer War??

anyway, the promoter for Computer War quite leng lui...hehehee....i m going there later today to see them again. hahahaa.

HALL ONE, Booth 114 L.

MSI Wind U100 (Black) also GOT bluetooth la.
MSI Wind U90 (Black) NO NO NO NO bluetooth !!!! the price different is about RM100 only...what the heck.
with INTERGRATED bluetooth...worth it la.

i heard the battery price is going up again...the 6 cells is expected at RM400+ now. no confirmation yet. this was told by a guy
in the Computer War booth.

Is this confirmed? That the MTEC one is U90? Cause i am very tempted to get from Comp War already. Also, based on the specs on the comp war sheet, the Black Linux one does come with Bluetooth. I think the specs stated on Wiki is wrong.

Btw, I called to Jayacom, they said their Black XP Wind is RM1550. But i have a feeling its grey import unit.

actually they kept saying that 6 cells batt prices will increase and stuff is it because they want to push their Wind for Love unit ?? or maybe cause the price diff from the normal unit to the Wind for Love unit price diffrence is RM300 and they tell u like ... ooo batt price going to increase faster buy our Wind FOr Love unit now ... more worth it ... blah blah blah

sales .... u did do anything to increase your quota ...

we'll i've checked with their distro and they say they've ordered the 6 cell from taiwan, but havent arrived
i think there is a waiting list for the 6 cell batteries

have you checked about the Jayacom's MSI warranty as well? by who?

Went to Jayacom. Price of RM1550 is actually for U90 not U100. U100 one is RM1599. Distributor i THINK its from Enlight, instead of Media Forte.

Anyone got any luck from today's PC Fair?
