@claire: the original Wind U100 should be within that range.
ciao!
How much does Wind cost nowadays? I only have around 22K, and I wonder what’s the best netbook I could afford with such a tight budget. Thanks in advance. :)
I want to buy a laptop for my kids do you think MSI Wind is a good brand
ok yan surely, ill consider that one!!!
opting between MSI Wind against Asus Eeepc 1000, will depend on your taste. If you want a stylish one, go for the latter. They have the same processor N270 though MSI is slightly lighter.
PC Corner provides 6 cell battery with a max of 2.0 GB RAM and a whooping 500 GB HDD for MSI plus its keyboard way better than Asus.
though if you really want a top of the line netbook with tight budget.. take a look with the new acer ospire one 103 vs. MS wind u100.
I am really planning to buy one soon but i am torn between MSI Wind and Acer Aspire 103… they have almost the same price for 25,995.00 and 25, 590.00 against two different specs.

one thing i didn’t like about this upgrade from Acer is that PC Corner or acer philippines didn’t upgrade the graphics from Intel® GMA 950 graphics
controller to GN40 which is a better graphics performer…. i wonder why?
