MSI WindPad 110W-014US Tablet AMD Z-Series Z-01(1.0GHz) 10.0" 4GB DDR3 Memory 32GB mSATA SSD AMD Radeon HD 6250

Pros: I agree with all the positive statements aleady said about the unit. It is good stuff. Run windows like you'd want. video plays nicely even if you scroll it around. With a faster/larger SSD this unit zooms. It is VERY easy to take the back off and replace items inside. (the legs are glued in.. just pull them off to get access to the screws under them)

Cons: REPLACE THE HD! :) It is to small, but that is not the main reason. The HD that comes with the unit is crazy slow. It felt slower than a 5400rpm HD. In windows 8 disk I/O is max the sec i did anything (they have a graph for it in win8). I replaced it with the intel 80 gig SSD (SSDMAEMC080G2C1 - they sell it here on newegg). It works GREAT with the new HD. steaming netflix will use the battery up in about 4 hours.

Overall Review: replace the HD. A flash card isn't going to cut it - that is even more crazy slow than the HD that comes with the unit. Flash cards have a very limited read/write life too. Keep in mind that windows 8 won't "pin" screens with this res. I think it needs 1366x768 min. Over all i'm happy with the unit. Nice thing to keep by the bed. For being mobile i'm going to get the samsung series 7 slate tho - longer life, bigger/better screen (also x2 as much).

Pros: This is by all means a great tablet, with impressive hardware features. - The AMD Brazos Z-01 packs a punch on a very low power budget. Still unfortunately it's the weakest component based on Windows 7 Performance reports. (See other thoughts) - The 4Gb of RAM are more than enough for any Windows 7 tablet, and probably very good for Windows 8 when it comes out. - The integrated AMD Radeon 6250 gives it amazing graphics, with DirectX 11 support, and Shader Model 5.0 (if GPU-Z is detecting correctly). - The front and back cameras are a good idea, although I still need to practice how to work with them. - The Ctrl+Alt+Del button is something that you would think it only existed on windows jokes, but it actually is useful every now and then. - The USB port is very handy but you will want to get a USB hub to go along, as only 1 USB port is not enough these days. - Although not in the specs many people online confirm that the SD slot card is compatible with SDXC.

Cons: As with any tablet, it has its flaws... - It's a little larger and heavier than your average tablet, which hinders mobility. - The fan on the left side can be annoying, and I hope not to hear it in the winter when the temperatures drop, but right now it comes up frequently and is audible. - The 3 feet long power cord is... a joke. You really can't do anything with a 3 feet long cord. And on top of that the plug is on the bottom of the tablet if you have it set horizontally, which gets in the way if you're trying to do something while it charges. - As people before me said, there is no way to decline the installation of the Bing Bar... but no sooner than later I went to the control panel and uninstalled it. - The stylus that comes with it is awful... the rubber ball on the tip is so large that it presses on a whole area instead of a single point. - Windows 7 just isn't designed for touch screens and you will feel a need to plug a real keyboard and mouse to it.

Overall Review: The following are the Windows performance test scores... the dual core 1GHz processor is the lowest component of the group. Processor: 2.7 Memory (RAM): 4.9 Graphics: 4.1 Gaming Graphics: 5.5 Primary Hard Disk: 5.9 I received my WindPad already pre-loaded with the most current BIOS version 1.05 (at the time). There is already a v1.06 available at MSI. What changed between versions is unknown, as MSI does not reveal it anywhere. My WindPad also came with recovery and drivers CDs, which was a complain of previous people. The SSD might be a bit on the slow side (not to mention that only 32Gb leaves you close to nothing after windows is installed), but I have not really tested it yet. Its just a gut feeling I get sometimes when small things sometimes seem to get the system hanging for brief periods. But all in all it's a great tablet and now I just have to find ways to squeeze the most out of it.

Pros: This is powerful tablet. For the ppl that say this is slow must be trying to compare it to laptop. If you compare to other tablets this unit will take them out. This tablet is a beast and has done everything I need it to like photoshop cs5. Big plus is the 4gb of ram

Cons: small hard drive and power cord.

Overall Review: I replaced the hard drive with a 128gb my digital msata ssd for $200. Windows 7 performance index rates it at a 6.9

Pros: Price Great hardware specs - CPU, GPU, Memory.. Low power consumption Nice bright responsive touch screen additional ports

Cons: Needs a bigger SSD Drive (32gb) Just don't cut it for Windows A little heavy left side gets a little hot near exhaust vent for the fan

Overall Review: I purchased my Windpad 110w about a month ago. As like many others the first thing I did was replace the stock 32gb SSD with a nice super fast Mushkin 120GB model (also from Newegg). I then loaded up Windows 8 and all I can say is WOW! This is the little tablet that could. It runs Windows 8 quite well. The OS loads fast from boot (about 7-8 secs). Web pages, music playing and even light gaming are flawless. It does have an issue with the Windows 8 media player but I'm sure this will probably be fixed upon the retail release of Windows 8. Right now I'm using a 3rd part media player for video.. But it worls great. We connect the tablet to our 51" plasma and watch downloaded videos all the time. Very nice and portable. I think anyone would be happy with this setup.

Pros: A great tablet. Highly recommend changing the hard drive. I put in a 128 gb drive and installed win8 rtm. Works perfectly. Very fast with win8 and touch is great with win8! Boot time is 15 to 20 seconds with win8 and new hard drive.

Cons: Small, slow drive.. Definitely replace One usb port, but a mini usb hub works great ( I typically have wireless mouse, usb Ethernet and usb keyboard in hub and all work great).

Overall Review: Great device. Everything works great with win8 as long as you replace the HDD.

Pros: Versatile, 64x, Windows based (I hear that with Windows 8 it's even more awesome), amazing for the price. Has an available adapter port for 4G capability. I changed out the small mSATA 32GB with a 128GB one easily and was able to install windows via USB with no hassle. GPS acquires signal rapidly and accurately even here in Japan. Any GPS program installed in your device is compatible with your Broadcom GPS sensor. Video is smooth as ice. The case is made of non slip material making it quite ergonomic to handle.

Cons: The charger... It was too short until I spliced an extra 5 foot cable to it, but even then, the AC plug is as long and straight as a pinky finger and sticks out from the bottom of the device. It makes using a leather case or stand impossible (unless you use it upside down). You can tie up your one USB port for charging purposes though. The exhaust vent hardly ever blows hot air on my hands like some other I see complain. And it seldom turns on high enough for me to notice. HD video seems to be what makes the CPU heat up.

Overall Review: Overall despite the charger, this tablet is simply amazing and fast. It's no gaming computer, just keep that in mind.

Pros: Fast and responsive, plenty of RAM, nice capacitive multi-touch screen, decent battery life. Since this tablet runs Windows7 I run regular windows applications on it, including my network scripts I wrote for managing a network at work.

Cons: Been having trouble with the built-in GPS. Gives a read-out of 0degrees long and 0degrees lat. Have a support ticket open with MSI but haven't heard back on it yet. Hoping it's just a temporary issue with the GPS receiver picking up a signal or something.

Overall Review: I picked this tablet over others because it was Windows based and because it had better hardware specs. The only thing I wish this had is a better version of Windows 7 other than Home Premium so I could have all the features unlocked, and it would have been nice if they had designed it with an attached keyboard that slides out like ASUS did. Overall though this tablet out does all the other tablets I have played with.

Pros: Four GBS of ram, a dual core, and ATI 6000 graphics are amazing for a netbook, live alone a tablet. The optical mouse helps with hard to click things. Windows touch support is way better then I thought and the O ring helps alot. Runs everything I want it to. Six hours surfing, 4-4 1/2 hours video.

Cons: A little heavier then I was expecting, but not too heavy. 32GB SSD only has 10GBs free even after a cleaning out the OS (thought this model is easily upgradable). Runs somewhat hot. The fan kicks in now and then and the vent area is warm. Its Summer, but still. Power cord is a joke. Three feet isn't even long enough to reach my bed from the wall. I will have to get a dock or new power cord ASAP.

Overall Review: This is exactly what I hoped for. I wanted a tablet that does anything and this is it. I didn't want a 10in cell phone or a iPad where I'd have to convert all my media, buy tons of apps, and not even be able to easily browse my network storage. This tablet has runs every program I've thrown at it smoothly, played any media file I've tried, and even did a little gaming. Nothing lags in Windows. But best of all, I can run all my business and office programs on this. I couldn't have even dreamed of doing that with And/iOS tablet and I don't want to switch to apps that will hardly do the job. If they had just made a 64GB model, I'd be in heaven. An upgrade to the SSD and Windows 8 might just bring me there though. But for now a Class 10 SD card fixed my issue.
