Just what i wanted

MSI Wind12 U230-040US AMD Athlon Neo X2 L335(1.60 GHz) 12.1" WXGA 2GB Memory 320GB HDD Netbook
MSI Wind12 U230-040US AMD Athlon Neo X2 L335(1.60 GHz) 12.1" WXGA 2GB Memory 320GB HDD Netbook

Pros: This Netbook has everything that i wanted. This computer is much faster than atom based netbooks which I have considered purchasing, but i just couldn't pay for something that does very little. I love the dual core processor and the 3200 video card, which although sounds like an oxymoron, is an excellent integrated graphics processor. With a full sized keyboard, typing is much easier than on smaller netbooks.

Cons: I do wish the screen tilted back a little further, but for me it's a rather minor issue.

Overall Review: I have a quad core desktop computer that would obliterate this computer in processing intensive tasks, but since the bulk of what i do does not require the processing horsepower of a quad core, I don't really notice much of a difference in my everyday tasks. I have abandoned my desktop since this computer has arrived in the mail. It is simply so much more comfortable and convenient to use this computer over that of my desktop.

Pros: I like that is has a usb media port, but i don't use it so that may not work either.

Cons: Unfortunately, I bought this product at the store without looking at the reviews. I literally have to reset my router every time I get on my computer because it is so slow. It doesn't drop the connection completely, I just get super slow speeds. On my Desktop I have to reconnect to the stupid thing everytiime I restart. Even then sometimes i have to connect more than once. If that wasn't bad enough, the customer service has been hard to contact. I guess i'll keep trying, but these reviews are accurate. This thing sucks.

Waste of time

Hulu Plus 1 Month - Holiday Offer (Email Delivery)

Pros: It was free when I got it.

Cons: This is basically nothing more than an extended trial. It still requires a credit card, and even when i entered it all I got was a payment processing error for 2 week until i gave up.

Best I've used

Pros: I love this thing. I've purchased several external cases in the past and they never seemed to hold the hard drive securely in place. This thing feels solid, hold my harde drive securely and transfers quickly. I love this thing.

Cons: I"ve got nothing
