    ta r100 is surrisingly nippy - if it dies then i'll go r500 (or whatever offers decent screen @ 1kg at the time (hopefully next year or later :)

    "Of course, at bit-tech we can just do a vague hardware overview. Flip the page for an in-depth discussion of the hardware used in the MSI Wind..."

    Aren't we missing an 't-thingy in there somewhere or is it time to up my medz again?

    i didnt expect this to be so pricey. while i love the tiny form factor, getting a larger laptop thats a hell of a lot more powerful for the same money just seems better for me. prefer the general look of the wind over the eee 901 tho

    What would bit-tech suggest be in our no. 1 spot? Or should it be left blank in hopes of the future?

    PS I ordered my Wind this afternoon. :rock:

    Ordered mine two weeks ago, DHL signed it off to a random person in the street. It's taken this long for them to admit that it's been stolen, to have the distributors file a claim against them and re-issue the order. Only now the distributor is out of stock.

    I went for the Advent and have been very impressed with it so far - speedy little system running XP Home.

    For those who like to tinker, I found it extreemely easy to upgrade the RAM and HDD and was pleased to see there was no warranty sticker to break through like on the Wind.

    Just waiting for the 6 cell battery to hit the shops and I'll be an even happier man.

    Also wondering if anyone has put Vista on it yet and if anyone knows of any decent carry cases / sleeves.

    Thanks all.

    I'm running Windows 7 and couldn't be happier! Runs fast, doesn't skip a beat. Windows 7 found and installed every bit of hardware (had to get updates from Microsoft though).
