Does what it's expected and more
- Pros: Got the shipment within the anticipated time. Have been pushing the processor limits with some of the programs that I use, and produces admirably. keyboard was not as difficult to get used to as I thought it would be (having worked on Desktops only for decades). Screen is clear to see both when plugged in, and in battery mode. Battery lasts based on estimations for a 3 cell battery. Handles WPA-2 admirably, and Wi-Fi signal allows me to have router in rubble basement of house and still have signal to the backyard.
- Cons: Laptop casing is not textured and shows all oils and fingerprints... but is easy enough to clean off. Touch-pad mouse is way too oversensitive in default mode, but can be shut off easily enough for extended periods of typing. Would've rated it higher if the casing was textured to prevent smudges and fingerprints
- Other Thoughts: Looking forward to obtaining 6-cell battery for extended use when I begin traveling in the spring and summer.
Great Laptop
- Pros: This laptop is awesome, MSI did an excellent job. Its very light, very small, very fast for the price, the 10" screen is very clear and not too small to make it hard to see. 120gb hard drive fine for a laptop, it plays most older games and a few new games. The WiFi card is excellent, great signal strength, much better than my old laptop. 2.5 hours of battery life. I would recommend buying if you are looking for a very portable laptop.
- Cons: Intel GMA...
- Other Thoughts: I have not had any problems with the touchpad like other users said, it works fine. I would recommend updating to 2gb of Ram.
After a few weeks
- Pros: Installed Vista and it's working great. I've been using this thing daily and it's holding up great. It's fantastic in the book bag, works great for presentations and I watch DVD's on it regularly (external drive). Runs very cool. With the exception of some scratches and glossing on the touchpad, it looks and works just like it did out of the box.
- Cons: Touchpad is still a pain in the rear. It works better in Vista, but the cursor moves when holding down one of the touchpad buttons. I think the issue is how closely the buttons and keyboard are placed to the touchpad.
- Other Thoughts: Vista installation was smooth and virtually everything worked on initial install. Downloaded and installed all of the latest drivers from MSI just to make sure bases are covered. I run with a 2Gb sd card with readyboost enabled for the entire 2 gigs. Speedy as can be. I generally just close the lid to put it to sleep and hit the power button to wake it back up - screen is up in a couple seconds. I wouldn't even dream of trying Vista without readyboost, though, turns into one slow dog. I'm quite happy with the machine and if it weren't for the funky touchpad behavior, I'd give it 5 eggs.
