Okay I just decided to get this one. I am replacing my 14″ Asus because I need something lighter to carry around and this might be the answer between a full size notebook and under powered netbook.

Stryker · 17 years ago

Got me one of these last week and I seem to be running into a problem with the webcam. Any similar experiences folks?

Guys, just bought mine, ang gnda nya tlga, magaan lng sya, and 9cell na ung battery nya, na 6 cell lng noon, and meron na syang windows 7 pero TRIAL lng!! 90 days! pero merong website na pde mo sya iextend hanggang 120 days :)

Unfortunately i haven’t seen any MSI Wind U210x here in Brunei, so i guess i will end up buying the Acer 1410 with the dual core celeron. Mr. Yuga, if you can get a hold of this 1410, kindly do a review. thanks in advance….

john sexon · 17 years ago

this would probably run games at low res. awesome specs for a netbook though, this will spank those atom based books around.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 17 years ago

@armaziel – MSI says there’s no white model ATM.

@francis – go get it from the store you bought it.

armaziel · 17 years ago

sir may i ask if you have any information on the availability of the WHITE model of this netbook? I really want the white one. it looks cooler.

sausuke · 17 years ago

ganda ng netbook na toh haha, wala ako masabi, kudos to MSI… at least pag boring nakakapaglaro ako ng mga games di kagaya nung U100… ang gaan pa kaya sarap dalhin hehe…

francis · 17 years ago

Anyone knows how to claim the 9cell battery? My sister and I bought one each of this good notebook last Oct 31 and we are supposed to call a phone number to claim the 9cell battery. However, we cannot contact them–the phone number does not work.
Help please. Thank you.

I wish MSI would have put the Radeon HD3200 rather than the X1270 to minimize the graphics performance gap between this and the HP311. The choice then in terms of specs would be a no brainer (in favor of MSI)

Ronnie · 17 years ago

This has more powerful CPU processor than HP311 (64bit dual core) but inferior graphics (x1270 vs 9400M of HP311). Should be better if this can fit more than 3GB of ram.

errr.. you’re looking for an audiophile peripheral on a budget netbook? :D

chrislpc · 17 years ago

@lollipown i meant coaxial or optical digital audio out. if you own a audio receiver without HDMI this unit cannot provide digital 5.1 sound.

IC DeaDPiPoL · 17 years ago

It lies somewhere between a notebook and a netbook (Ultraportable Notebook)so the drive is a thing they let go in exchange for portability and weight

looks like Villman is offering it now:

Albert King · 17 years ago

Kakalito na ang dami ng models na 12 “,bkit kaya di pa sinama ang optical drive?

IC DeaDPiPoL · 17 years ago

@creepy

Windows 7 RC is free to use till March 2010 where it shutsdown after 2 hours. It will be useless somewhere in June/July 2010

Hoping this product gets reviewed based on

-Windows Experience Index
-H.264 decoding (up to 1920×1080)
-battery life (idle/surfing/torrenting and medium load)
-cpu temp during idle and medium load

@Brian_B

good find on the 1366 x 768 resolution. I doubt it’ll be actual hindrance for usage. My former Asus LCD had the same resolution. You just need to adjust to the extra pixels (and take note of it when running apps with fixed resolutions say 1024 x 768)

lolipown · 17 years ago

@chrislpc
HDMI port -> this is not digital for you?

I’m on the same boat as @ricky, looking into the U210x as a probably hackingtosh. I wonder if there’s drivers for the Athlon Neo on the current hackintosh builds.

creepy.chan · 17 years ago

Hi Sir Abe mind if I ask where you bought this unit that installs a free Windows 7 RC?.. That’s a better deal for 22k than buying the 27k that has Vista Home Basic..

manong · 17 years ago

this is very affordable (specs-wise) for a small-sized GAMING NOTEBOOK.. but this is not a big-sized NETBOOK..

kudos to MSI! sana lampasuhin nila yung mga same priced, totally expensive NETBOOKS

rndmtots · 17 years ago

2GB DDR2 RAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 1270 128MB

more games. hope it can play wow, civ 4, and eu3 :P

chrislpc · 17 years ago

no digital out typical msi & acer, kaya i never consider any of their products..

ricky · 17 years ago

wow. 22k free dos. 9-cell batt. is it matte LCD too?

pwedeng-pwede.

possible din ba dito ang “hackintosh” tulad sa mga lumang msi 10-inch netbooks?

tapos in a 2-3 months time, darating naman ang mga budget 13.3-inch models like HP DM3 and acer timeline, ung asus meron na rin. competitive din ang price to 12-inch models. this is tempting and confusing as well. overall, its still a great news:-)

Jazon · 17 years ago

Wow! I’d like to install Linux Mint on that!

Rondon · 17 years ago

I would very much like to see how this performs on H264 videos and DirectX games (like Call of Duty 4 or Counterstrike Source)

Brian_B · 17 years ago

Good combination. Hopefully you’ll have a video review. I will be looking for a replacement for my 12-inch Dell.

There’s this observation from laptopmagazine”

“The U210â€™s 12.1-inch screen is remarkably bright, and its 1366 x 768 resolution ideal for watching HD video. For simple tasks, though, such as Web surfing and word processing, you might find yourself squinting; while this resolution is standard for slightly larger models, such as 13-inchers, it makes text look a bit too small on a screen this size.”
