Pros: - Great price - Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor - 1GB RAM - Screen resolution : 1024 x 600 actual resolution, or 1024 x 768 virtual desktop. - Smaller than the ($450+) Asus EeePC 1000 models, but features the same processor and RAM! This laptop is the same size as the EeePC 900, but about 1.5mm taller, and 0.31 pounds heavier. - Battery life (5 hours) - High capacity hard disk - Screen is plenty bright. - Keyboard is about 4mm wider than the keyboard on the EeePC 900. - The mechanical action of the spacebar on this keyboard works a lot better than the spacebar of the EeePC 701 and the EeePC 900 (I own both of those older models). - The DC power connector is a right angle style one. This means I place the laptop on my lap without damaging the connector or power socket when I push the laptop against my legs. - Runs off 12V! Great for people who want to connect this directly to a car battery or their boat battery without having to do any power conversion.

Cons: - Keyboard : I have 3 gripes 1) The right side of the spacebar is too short (about 1/2 inch shorter than the keyboard on the EeePC 900). 2) The left shift key is too large. 3) The right shift key is located to the right of the "up" arrow key. This has been the case with previous versions of the EeePC and I don't like it. I find myself pressing the up arrow instead of the "?" key too freqently when I type a question. - Webcam : Only 640x480, but at least there is one! I might install the 1.3M pixel camera from my EeePC 900 in this EeePC 900HA. - Warranty : Only a 1 year warranty, compared to the 2 year warranty on my EeePC 701.

Overall Review: The 1st review of this laptop said the screen was too dim. This is NOT the case. I have an EeePC 900 (the 900 MHz version that came out 6 months ago) and I just put both laptops side by side, set the desktop background colors to be the same. The result? The screen on this 900HA is actually BRIGHTER than the screen on the 900!

Pros: Compact.

Cons: I bought 2 of these. One was DOA, and the other didn't work when connected to my serial device (Compumotor 6k Stepper Motor controller). Occasionally a garbage character would show up in the RS232 data stream. No, it wasn't from the Compumotor controller.

Pros: Free calls via Google voice to anywhere in the USA and Canada! Great sound quality. Ability to make OBiTalk-to-OBiTalk calls.

Cons: Configuring it to work with Google voice is a little tricky. Make sure you read the installation FAQ section of the OBiTalk website.

Pros: - Small size, but big keyboard and big screen. - The border around the screen is small (0.5 inches on the sides, 0.75 inch on the top) - 64-bit CPU that supports AMD-V (virtualization) - Good on-board GPU. Beats the GMA 500 on the Atom based netbooks. - Screen resolution supports 720p. - HDMI output. Can use HDMI to DVI cable (not included) to avoid having to resort to an analog channels to send video to an external display.

Cons: - Some keys on the keyboard are actually a little too big. - Why are there TWO backslash keys? One is located where the spacebar should extend to the left, the other is above the Enter key. Make my spacebar bigger and remove the 2nd backslash key! - Display. The display has two MAJOR problems: 1) The contrast ratio sucks. If you set the background to black, it appears bluish grey. Lots of light gets leaks through the LCD when all the pixels are turned on (by on, I mean black since that is how LCDs work...) The display contrast ratio is like that on a laptop from the year 2002. 2) It is very glossy. If you like looking at your reflection in the display, then you might like this laptop. - Touchpad. Why did they make the surface so rough? It feels like fine grain sandpaper... Uggh. It should feel smooth, not like sandpaper. - CPU is manufactured using 65nm process making it not as low powered compared to the Atom. AMD should have made Neo using their 45nm process.

Overall Review: Get the Lenovo version instead. Yes, it is more expensive, but you probably won't have the screen, keyboard, and touchpad issues. I'm seriously considering returning this laptop or selling it. What a disappointment.

Pros: - Lightweight when you consider its dimensions. - Very quiet. - The keyboard is excellent. It is much better than the keyboard in my Asus EeePC 900HA. This keyboard feels like one on a full sized laptop. It is as large as MSI could make it, extending all the way to the edges of the netbook. The action of the keys as they are depressed feels nice too. Unfortunately, the Function key is positioned where the left Control key should be located. - The screen is large, bright, and crisp. - The touchpad buttons have a nice soft feel compared to the stiff clicky buttons on my Asus EeePC 900HA.

Cons: - On the back of the netbook, there is a "Void Warranty If Removed" sticker over one of the screw holes. You cannot upgrade the hard disk or RAM without voiding your warranty. Upgrading the HD and/or RAM on the Asus EeePC 900HA is easier since it has a removable access cover and you won't void your warranty. - On the front of the netbook there is a large (2" x 3"), shiny, white and silver sticker to the left of the touchpad. This can be removed, but is a little annoying to look at while watching movies in the dark. The stickers on the top of the netbook are an unnecessary distraction. MSI should put them on the underside. - The power cord that connects the brick to the outlet is thicker and heavier than it needs to be. This machine only draws 2 Amps. There is no need for such a heavy duty stiff cord. - The netbook operates off 20V, which means you have to do power conversion to get it to work off 12V (boat, RV, standard solar panel setup). The Asus EeePC netbooks run o

Pros: - Webcam is actually 1.3M pixels, not 0.3M pixels. (see my original review)

Cons: (see my original review)
