Crap. I was just at Sunway Pyramid this evening, and one shop there was selling the MSI Wind with the same specs as what I bought (2 gigs RAM, 320 gig hard drive) at RM1,950. He even threw in a free Microsoft Wireless Optical 2000 mouse worth about RM150. Grr...

If anyone's interested in that deal, the shop is Qube, Unit 16 Digital Center, Sunway Pyramid.

Sales guy's name is Moni.


derravile: yeah, the guys at MyPC are really friendly. I don't mind that I paid a bit extra for my MSI Wind. Had fun shooting the breeze with Andrew. Dude's only 19 but I can't believe he's a hardcore Doom 1 player. Must've been like...5, when it first came out.

white or black

if compare with black...320gb hdd rm1950 good deal also

if white i have ntg to say...maybe the best deal so far....

Yeah, it's probably black

mm they upgraded the HDD is it ? or originaly it comes with the specs.

according to what i can see . MSI wind don't have 320GB wo am i Wrong ?

jumanz: you can request for them to upgrade the RAM and/or the hard drive.

standard specs are 1 gb RAM and 80 gb hard drive.

Hi guys, I'm an Aussie living in Thailand at the minute, but I have to do a border run in the next week and am heading to KL in Malaysia.

Where is the best place for me to go and purchase a wind or Eeepc. Ideally I would like to see both b4 making the decision!

Is there a mypc or similar there abouts?

Any help most appreciated!
-Dave

Plaza Lowyat would be easier for you to see both of them (third floor)

mm if they upgrade for HDD means confirmed warranty gone right

ram wise still ok ~ I guess.. btw i got my wind months back

Hi Dave


depending of what kind of usage you are looking at. the latest version of Eeepc comes with 5 hours of batt life and with a wireless draft N card. and multi touch sensor for the touch pad.

Price should be about RM2100 ++

as for

Msi wind, the one currently in the market which has 6 cell is the "limited edition version" but running for Wireless G only. running about RM2200
>>http://www.computerwar.com.my/pub/AugPackage.pdf<< you can see the sample picture. by the way I am not trying to promote computerwar.

design it's own preference.

I like wind hehe

please consider warranty as well cause if i not mistaken, MSI Wind doesn't come with International warranty "for malaysia unit"

jumanz: well, they still offer 1-year warranty, but not sure how that works. They might just service it in-house or something.

can always ask be4 buying

Hi I am newbie here and I have just bought my MSI Wind U100 last week at Jayacom with 2gb ram and original WIN XP included, black color with RM1830( package include 2gb kingston thumdrive, headset, usb hub, mouse, lcd cleaner), just wanna share this out..

yeah computerwar also offer the same warranty period. Just that they mention had to get back to them if there is any issue on the netbook so i suppose is inhouse and they will deal with MSI / /



normally they will say 1 year anyone encounter any water set ?





Hi ` mmm welcome to the family . black colour offers original OS ?
anyway good bargain since there is so much freebies and windows Ori preloaded.

maybe he ask shop ppl install for him

as far as i know, black comes with pre-installed linux

AFAIK their distributor is Media Forte to maybe you can go back to them if any problem.

Enlight is another distributor, whom Jayacom takes from. Media Forte to me seems more trustable

how about warranty extension? how about U90? how much is that? thanks

But isn't enlight been supply msi product for along time in malaysia liao mer?

Any Wind U100 user upgraded their Wifi mini card? I changed mine into an Intel 4965AGN to get Wireless-N. I'm wondering is anybody tried using an Atheros WiFi mini card. The Intel one doesn't do 300Mbps with my DLink DIR-655 router.

free upgraded by MSI or your own pocket $$ ??

yup i did mine to Atheros range better then the standard ones !~ and for OSX support as well



ofcourse self $$$

Atheros WiFi mini card better? draft N? how much u bought

opps before that i need to clarify ~ i am using a ABG version no AGN

hehehe rage wise is better then the Original one

if you notice for Msi Wind the standard antenna has only + and - terminal .

for DraftN cards you will that 3 terminals

so i got the ABG version instead just to cracking my head to think how do I gonna place the 3rd terminal antenna to obtain optimum speed.

Ok. very Noob question, but where can I get the Intel 4965AGN card and how do I install it in my Wind?

Added on September 6, 2008, 9:00 pmAlso, I can't seem to find to buy the 6 cell battery separately. Can anyone help me out?

I wish to find the 6 cell battery too

well basically you need to look for those who wish to change their wifi card from their labby.
sometimes you will be able to spot these devices in Garagesell

in Ebay also ... you can also visit shops in Lowyat "specilize in recon machine" they should have .



yeah craving ~ dude

has anyone tried out the BIOS ver 108? which allow the turbo key by Fn+F10

Yipee.....is it stable so far ?

Cause I don't think this's an official release from MSI.
Some early user reported some of the Fn key function is gone ??

yes. from mobile01 forum Wind owner manage clock it till 19xx Mhz

but this great feature only allow when AC power plug in

Aiya ...for a moment make me shiok only...
though it can also turbocharged during battery powered.

yup..that would be bonus if MSI allow it under battery operating.

but i guess it must drain battery much faster



update...for those after flash to ver 1.08, u need disconnect AC power & battery for 10 seconds to let the "Embedded Controller" digest to prevent some weird problem. - according to some taiwan forum

I intend to buy U100, I was told by the sales person that it has a 4 cell battery and U90 has 3 cell battery.
Is it true?

How about the battery life for wifi on only?

U100 = 10" LCD, U90=9" LCD??

either 3 or 6cells only. 4cells battery only available from Dell mini Inspiron

ok u100 comes with 3 cell and 6 cell package only

for u90 the earlier batches all uses 3 cell. UK selling 6 cell as well for u90 model.
please check the front specification before purchasing or the mAH on the batt it self

Another place that my tiny Wind has blown....

Typing this from Dubai international airport. Have another 4 hours to kill before my flight to Milan, Italy.

Where can I get this BIOS, iRonTech? I've always been wondering what this review was banging on about the overclocking feature which i can't activate on my MSI Wind, not mentioned anywhere in the manual or the MSI website.

Also, is there any dealer in Malaysia who could provide the 6-cell (and possibly 9-cell) batteries for the MSI Wind? I unfortunately got mine with the basic 3 cell battery.
