Ride With The Wind
The Wind--which stands for for "Wi-Fi Network Device"--offers a number of convenient features that make this mini notebook a highly functional and easily portable laptop PC. The 10-inch LCD screen has a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution, which enables you to view full web pages while browsing the Internet. It's also embedded with an LED power-saving backlight technology, which not only helps to lower power usage but also provides richer and brighter colors. The Wind U100 is also equipped with a 1.3-megapixel webcam (placed in the bezel above the LCD) and integrated microphone, allowing you to snap still photos of yourself while on the go for sending via email or join video chats with friends and family.
The keyboard is 20-percent smaller than a standard full-sized keyboard, but offers excellent spacing between keys. | 
Magnify a portion of the screen for closer viewing of photos or documents. | The ergnomically designed keyboard--just 20 percent smaller than a full-sized keyboard--provides excellent texture and tactile feel when typing, and the keys are spaced at a comfortable 17.5mm width (0.68 inches). Additionally, the ingeniously designed spacebar and 2.1-inch touchpad allow your fingers to move smoothly while avoiding strain.
The Wind U100 also has the ability to magnify text within software--whether it be an Internet browser or office document--with a unique magnifying glass overlay, making it easy to focus in on what you're reading or precisely edit photos.
Finally, your Wind U100 will is constructed using a special Insert Mold Roller (IMR) technology that protects the notebook from fading and also reduces the impact of fingerprints, so the laptop will continue to look brand new.
Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).
Hard Drive
This version of the Wind U100 comes with a 160 GB hard disk drive (5400 RPM), which offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.
Memory
This laptop is installed with 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, which has a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. It can be expanded to a maximum of 2 GB. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive
Because of its size, the Wind U100 does not come with an integrated optical drive, but optional CD/DVD read/write drives can be connected to the laptop via one of the three USB ports, enabling you to create your music mixes, burn movies to DVD, and more.

Great product, great price.
Unfortunately the first one had a defective touchpad, but it's been replaced right away at their cost.
The fan could get a bit noisy but other than that it works just fine.
I've added an extra gigabyte of RAM and installed/tested Windows XP, Vista 32bit and Linux Debian. No drivers problems.
It's not a gaming machine, but it does fine for any other application.

This is an excellent product. I have 5 hours of use on the 6 cell battery before I have to charge it. It is very fast and is great for my needs. The size of the keyboard is very easy to use and I love the portability of it.

Product was delivered prompt. The touchpad has a "tap to click" feature that could not be disabled. Contacted MSI and was told that it could not be changed. Searched the web and found a driver that would let you change the settings of the touchpad. Other than that feature I would buy it again ,GREAT NETBOOK

I found the msi wind to be a very well-made product. It has everything you want from a netbook. The screen is very clear and the keyboard is larger than what i've seen on acer and asus netbooks. The six-cell battery also helps a lot, although it does make the unit a bit bulkier tha some other netbooks. It is still very portable though and very sleakly designed.
I have no complaints with the product and i can see why it was rated as Wired magazines top gadget of 2008.
