    3 cell battery, no "n" wireless. Compare if you like. Best deal is the new Asus PC 1000HE at Amazon, $374 with better than previous 6 cell and newer processor.

    It's the MSI Wind. Not-so-recent notebook review here:

    http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4498

    Interesting quote: "The Wind is another mini notebook in a field originally started by the ASUS Eee PC, but with one primary catch: It is priced well under the equivalent Eee PC. Now having a better price doesn't always mean you are going to win in any given market, but the MSI really outdid themselves and created a great mini notebook. Read on to see just how much ASUS should fear the MSI Wind."

    Like the 160GB and 10" screen. 3-cell battery is a definite turn-off.

    #1 Thanks for fixing the link...unfortunately the "." in your URL is causing a misdirect.

    does anyone know if this is glossy screen or anti glare screen? The only one antiglare is Asus that i know of for the netbook. Lenova, Dell, Acer and HP are all glossy which defeats the purpose of mobility as you cannot see anything if there is a bit of sun hitting it on them glossy screens.

    I'd spend the extra $100 and get the HP Mini 2140.

    Aluminum case, 80211a/b/g/n, bluetooth, gigabit ethernet and a real keyboard. Comes with 6 cell battery and doesn't look like a toy.
    Also comes with Expresscard/54 slot for a docking station or 3G broadband card.

    You can still get OSX and Win7(why?) to run on it and since it's a "business" grade netbook, you'll get decent support from HP.

    Look for HP 2140 on PCMall.

    No wireless? WTF would you want a 10" for if it isn't portable? Unless you live in my moms basement, and have to surf porn under the covers so no one knows you're a ****. On the other hand, that would be most of the people here. nevermind...

    #9 thanks for the tip on the HP 2140, which sells at 449 + 15-20 shipping, or 464-469...a bit more than '$100' above this MSI...over 50% more.

    the 1st-gen netbooks will be in the gutter soon. Intel has dual-core Atoms ready, and Nvidia the Ion chipset for it. 2nd-gen netbooks will have far better video playback and general processing power.
