MSI U100-013US 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 3 Hour Battery Life

MSI U100-013US 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 3 Hour Battery Life Review

I've had this netbook for about six weeks now, and I'm pleased with it!

The processor grinds through its work at a pretty good clip. Although the 1G of memory that comes with this unit is considered the minimum amount by today's standards, the computer hasn't choked on any tasks that I've thrown at it, including some graphics and desktop-publishing work. Besides, the familiar-and-reliable Windows XP operating system is not a memory hog. I'm happy to be using XP. With a wireless connection to my home router, the machine delivers Internet content, including video, without a hitch.

The MSI seems to be a bit more solidly built than the Acer unit I once used at work. I connect the computer to a large monitor and full-sized keyboard when I work at home. However, when I use the netbook by itself at a coffee shop, library, or other location, the vivid 10" display is quite satisfactory and, with a few motor-skill adjustments, I'm able to crank out plenty of text on the keyboard.

I did my research before buying and I believe I found the best value. This machine is well-constructed, comes with specs matching or exceeding those of competing netbooks, and even has an on-board webcam of higher resolution and quality than those found on other similarly priced units. Considering this MSI's price tag of under 0, this unit is a great buy!
