Pros: First it is the only one I know of with gigabit networking, this matters when you are coping movies and the like. It also has wireless n. The AMD RS690 chipset supports 4 GB of Ram and has a 1.6 GHz front side bus. I used Newegg Item#:N82E16820148288 4gig Crucial DDR2 800 CL 6. I also addeda 320 Gig 7200 rpm WD HD. My unit came with an ATI X1270 GPU wich plays 720p flawlessly to the 12 inch 1366 x 768 screen. The VGA port supports higher resolutions in desktop displays. I have not tested the HDMI port or 1080p. The display keyboard and touch pad are great for a machine this size. Add the synaptics generic drivers; just search on "synaptics drivers" and you will have scroll too. There is a empty mini PCIe card slot if you really got to have Bluetooth. I bought a HD hardware decoder instead, but I have not recieved it yet.

Cons: Glossy exterior and screen make finger prints a real problem and I would rather have a mat screen. Slow loading MS Office, but I think this is Microsoft's fault and is true with all netbooks.

Overall Review: This is the one to buy right now and probubly will be for a while.

Pros: This net-book screams! I did a test boot after some tweaking around in Windows 7. From the initial power surge to being fully logged into windows 7, it takes around 31 seconds. I get around 4 hours of battery life, and that's acceptable for me, because I carry my charger around with me anyways. I was so impressed with how bright the screen is! Initial Setup of windows 7 took about 30 minutes, which wasn't bad. Also, I have been able to run so many apps at once. Yahoo messenger, Live Messenger, 2 Word Documents, a PowerPoint Presentation, 2 tabs of Firefox and iTunes running. This little beast did not stop!

Cons: As everyone else said, the scroll doesn't work straight out of the box, but dont fret. just install the Synaptics generic driver for win7 32bit and your set! Doesn't quite run 100% lag free on youtube HD, but im sure with a little tweaking it could be fixed.

Overall Review: For anyone who wants to know, the windows 7 rating is 2.9! Don't order this netbook if you plan to install snow wind OSX. use the u100s.

Pros: * The keyboard is full sized (or pretty darn close) * 12" is a really good size for a "netbook" * Much better performance than any Atom based netbook * Installed Ubuntu 9.10 and nearly everything worked out of the box, including mouse scrolling (which is an extra step in Windows) * Longer battery life than my 15.4" widescreen notebook.

Cons: * Uses rt3090 wireless chip for which there is no module available out of the box. * Considerably less battery life than an Atom based netbook. From fully charged to dead, the battery it shipped with lasts me about 3 hours vs 7-9 on some Atom powered nebooks.

Overall Review: It's powered by AMD and it's very portable; that was enough to sell me. The decreased battery life is the price paid for performance. Booting into Windows 7 took about 35 seconds with all the pre-installed bloatware, Ubuntu 9.10 about 17 seconds. Atom based netbooks don't come anywhere near this level of performance. If you're using Ubuntu or another Debian based distro, there is an Ubuntu PPA package for the wireless. If you have a wired connection already, the package can be downloaded and installed in just a couple minutes. There are wireless connection issues in Windows and Linux and the problem is the driver software, not the hardware. Ralink is to blame. If you have a problem, light up their switchboard with a support call.

Pros: Screen size – I've had a 10.1” ultra-portable long before netbooks were available. I love the portability of smaller notebooks compared to some of the larger ones that I’ve had in the past. Therefore I knew that my next notebook would be between 11” and 13”. At 12.1", it is easy to argue that this is a notebook rather than a netbook. Price – The MSI L2100 costs less than half of what I paid for my ultra-portable. Even as I extensively researched which netbook/notebook to purchase, the MSI L2100 was the best value that I found. Hardware – Compared to almost every netbook currently on the market, the specifications of the MSI L2100 can’t be beat. Quietness – The L2100 is super quiet. I seriously doubt that it can be heard at all when it is being used in a normal environment. Coolness – After hours of use, the palm rests remain extremely cool.

Cons: Speaker placement – The speakers on the MSI L2100 are average and produce decent sound, but they are placed on the bottom side of the palm rests. I would have preferred to have seen them placed above the row of function keys on the top side of the keyboard. Touchpad – The touchpad is a nice size and I don’t find myself accidentally clicking while I’m typing like I do with some laptops. However, I find that I have to more exaggeratedly click and double click the actual touchpad because of its lack of sensitivity. RAM/HDD access – I don’t understand why there is a ‘warranty void’ sticker on the access panel to the HDD and RAM slot. So I'll end up voiding the warranty if I choose to upgrade the RAM or HDD myself. HDD partitions – This isn’t a big deal because I used freeware to combine the partitions, but I don’t know why notebook manufactures randomly split hard drives. The L2100 comes with 3 partitions, a recovery partition as well as 2 seperate partitions (C: & D: drives).

Overall Review: I read a lot of reviews before I decided to purchase the MSI L2100. I was looking to replace an ultra-portable notebook that I’ve had for a couple of years. Most of the reviews that I read prior to my purchase were spot on and I was very pleased after receiving the MSI L2100. I would go as far as to say that it is more of a notebook than a netbook although it comes at a netbook’s price. I would by the MSI L2100 for a family member or very close friend and I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a smaller than average notebook or a largeer than average netbook.

Pros: Big, bright screen with great color; nearly a full-sized keyboard; runs cool and quiet; does everything I've asked of it so far without any real slowdowns.

Cons: Keyboard flexes a bit from left to right, the keys aren't perfectly level, but its not enough to screw up my typing; Touchpad could be wider, the buttons are hard to press, and has some sensitivity issues - also needs updated drivers to support side-zone scrolling (alas, no two-finger scrolling even with the generic drivers, or if there is I can't seem to make it work); comes with a ton of crapware pre-installed and "feature" stickers all over the palm wrests.

Overall Review: I also ordered a 4gb USB stick with this and immediately used the USB Download Tool to make and install a clean OEM copy of Windows - this was probably faster and cleaner than uninstalling all the junk this ships with. Once that was done, I googled for the generic Synaptics drivers and went to the MSI site and got video drivers and the system control center software to make the Fn keys work properly (as mentioned previously, look for the U210 model as the L2100 is, at the time of this writing, not listed). Its now working perfectly with a nice, uncluttered copy of Windows 7. I get about 3 hours per charge with basic web surfing plus some Youtube videos. Hard drive comes pre-partitioned into separate OS and data blocks, plus a hidden restoration partition. This is a great little machine as long as you realize in advance what you're getting - its for surfing and piddling around in Word, not for gaming and video editing.

Pros: Perfect key, perfect size, not too small, not too big, loves windows 7, Lots of software for messing around

Cons: Lots of software to uninstall if you don't like your computer full of stuff, the trackpad's buttons are a little hard to push

Overall Review: By far the best netbook I have played around with, faster then any netbook I have touched before. And it's small but still a decent size to not feel like you should be living in Toyko. If your looking for a 12"-14" laptop this is the best choice, it's ten times better then a 13" macbook and the 14" is pushing the limits of size for someone who will carry it around 24/7

Pros: Excellent little sucker. Reloaded with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with no trouble at all. Still need to find webcam drivers but that's not MSI's fault, just me being slow. Boots in 30-35 seconds to password prompt with this loadout, which is actually quicker than my gaming monster. Smooth graphics, great resolution, very clear and sharp. Plays HD video at 720p without any trace of hiccups. Running with Steam, Firefox, and Trillian all up and going, it doesn't lag at all. N wireless and Gigabit ethernet are excellent, the N wireless speed at 65Mbps is able to easily max out the download rate of my home internet connection. I suspect this thing can actually kick the snot out of my circa 2005 3.2GHz P4 laptop, which is my primary PC.

Cons: Screen is a little glossy, but remains workable in almost all conditions if you adjust the brightness to full. Not docking an egg for this though, as the screen is otherwise very bright and clear and very nice to look at, especially in dimmer surroundings.

Overall Review: Windows 7 base score is 3.0. Processor rates 3.2, RAM rates 4.9, Graphics rates 3.0, gaming graphics rates 3.1, hard drive rates 5.7. Need to see if this will run things like Team Fortress 2!

Pros: this is a really nice netbook screen is perfect size , keyboard size is perfect , wireless n , 250gb sata drive, empty pcie slot, 2 gigs ram windows 7 loves this machine its nice and fast

Cons: I didnt find too many other than a mediocre graphics card , but then again I dont use a netbook to play video games. And it has issues with 1080 video But, it can be corrected so Its not so much of a con

Overall Review: I love the fact it has a empty pcie slot for the Broadcom MiniPCIe HD decoder board without having to solder anything and you can get one shipped for about 25.00. then it will play 1080 no problem , also ram can be upgraded to 4gig but you have to find a 4gig stick I think this is a all around good quality product and I am really glad I bought this over many of the other netbooks out there.
