At last! My own notebook!
It's THE BEST Netbook/UMPC in the market right now: the MSI Wind Notebook U100!
I'm glad that I picked this one. Not from HP, Asus, Acer, Zyrex, Kohjinsha, Quantel, etc.

After using it for a few days, my thoughts are:
It's GOOD because:
- Higher specs than other UMPC
- Underclock feature
- Doesn't heat up, even using it for a long time.
- Warcraft III playable!
But it has some drawbacks like:
- Left Ctrl button isn't the furthest on keyboard
- Bad battery life
- No optical drive
- Small touchpad
Nevertheless, it's a fantastic notebook. Thank god I bought this one!

really?
I was still on consideration about buying this one or not.
do you play it with battery only, or mostly plug it into the electricity socket?
how long can you use it only with the battery?
looking forward to your reply a.s.a.p.
thank you.

If it's on full battery, I always use power from electric socket.
I've said it before: it has a bad battery life. It only lasts for approximately 2 hours!
MSI is using 3-cells battery because they are short of batteries supply.
They did plan to ship Wind notebooks with longer lasting 6-cells battery, but you're gonna have to wait for it.

Terakhir gw cek harganya sudah 6jt
Gw beli 5.8 sih
Coba kamu cek juga Axioo Pico, clone dari Wind.
Dengan budget 5jt saya rasa Acer Aspire One bagus koq.
