5 out of 5 eggsVery Pleased with this Netbook

Pros: I bought this netbook primarily as a school computer for word processing, basic internet use, and e-mail. I was looking for a netbook that was lightweight, had good battery life, and was realatively inexpensive. I am very pleased with the MSI wind U160.

As another user indicated, this netbook does come with way too many logos and stickers on the hand rest. Admitedly, however, they peal off easily. The scrolling feature is a little awkward at first, but now that I've adjusted to it, I actually prefer it to other scrolling methods. The trackpad works great and the keyboard is easier to type on than I had expected. On power saver mode, I average about 10 hours 30 mins of battery life, not bad at all.

Cons: As many others have said, Windows 7 Starter isn't the best operating system. Despite the extra cost, I installed Windows 7 Home Premium and am very impresed with the performance.

Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a netbook that can handle basic tasks without causing a headache, I recommend the U160. I would note that if you want a device for gaming, movies, or other media forms, you might want to consider a larger notebook/laptop or desktop. But if you're interested in basic tasks, good battery life, and portability, this netbook fits the bill very well.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Netbook

Pros: Great battery life, attractive design, and the perfect size. The chicklet keys are also very classy!

Cons: windows 7 starter stinks, the touch pad scrolling feature is awkward.

Other Thoughts: If you can upgrade the OS this is a perfect netbook. It's great for me as a mobile tech when I need to tap into a client's network to make changes. Email, web surfing, etc. It's a tool not a laptop. Know it's limitations and you will be VERY pleased.

4 out of 5 eggsA sweet little netbook!

Pros: I wanted something tiny just for browsing the web ect, and this little netbook fits the bill nicely. I can't get over how small it really is... a little bigger than a netgear wireless router. Chose the gold colored model and it has a elegant look to it. Weighs less than a 200 page how-to paper back book, really light! The build quality of my unit is awesome. That was something I was worried about with a netbook. The indicator LEDs actually protrude slightly which makes it easy to see them from top down without having to rotate the laptop to see whats taking so long. I like the keyboard better than the DV9000 that I own which is almost twice it's size. I've read reviews that state there is a lot of bleed over along the edges of the screen from the back light. I think it looks pretty darn good with the resolution pegged at 1024 X 600. The MSI logo glows while the unit is powered on. Not functional, but a nice little touch.

Cons: I'm really beginning to despise the companies for slapping logos all over the base of the laptop, and there are 5 on this one. The touch pad does suck as the first reviewer pointed out. For me it's just way too sensitive and I finally got used to the HP swipe along the right side of the touch pad to scroll... at least the arrow keys are close by. Also hate the pre-installed security software (Norton) and MS Office 60 day trial.

Other Thoughts: Win 7 Starter S-U-C-K-S! Straight out of the box windows update gives me an error code 8024402F. Hey, that's just great, if I wanted to keep win 7, I sure wouldn't be with the inability to update the OS. First thing I'm gonna do is blow that away and dual boot XP/Ubuntu

MSI has a llink for XP drivers, some of which are newer than the U130 drivers page. Go here just to make sure you get the correct drivers... (http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1986)

4 out of 5 eggskaidomac

Pros: Ultra thin, GREAT keyboard (pebbles like a Macbook), battery doubles as a keyboard lift, dark gold outside & champagne inside color scheme looks great, 3 USB ports, very quiet. You'll be amazed at how small this is - I had the original Wind netbook and this is even more compact! It's a little less than 1/2 the size of my external 5.25" DVD drive. The power supply is nice and compact as well. Battery life is about 7 hours with brightness on max and Wifi on. Does not get hot - hardly even warm after hours and hours of use. Works great with XP if you want to install it aftermarket.

Cons: Scrollpad is utter junk. It uses scroll "corners" that don't work right and are difficult to use; just turn it off. The trackpad is also too sensitive; you'll end up flicking the mouse around when you type or when you use the click-button, so just use tap-to-click instead. The unit makes an annoyingly loud chirp once in awhile, not sure if it's the hard drive or what (SMART status checks out fine). Battery life is advertised at 10-15 hours, but it's really only 7 hours (100% reads at nearly 9 hours, but 99% drops down to 6:59). Still pretty good but not as advertised.

Other Thoughts: Windows 7 Starter is a piece of junk - you can't even change the wallpaper for crying out loud! I put Windows XP Professional on it and it runs great (be sure to disable AHCI in BIOS) - just use the XP drivers from the u130 model on MSI's website (there are XP and XP Home drivers, just use the "XP" drivers for Professional).
