The MSI Wind wins in the price department.

I would say the very steep price of the SSD makes the hard disk a much better choice. I’ve been holding off buying the MSI Wind myself. I hope they release a hard disk-fitted eeePC 1000 here in the Philippines.

urgh. its really mind buggling. can’t decide which one is better. the asus eeepc 1000h or the msi wind. msi wind is very tempting having that great elegant looks, and that undeniably awesome specs i couldn’t resist. imagine 2GB MEMORY and 320GB storage, more expensive though compared to the 1000H. but the 1000h is more affordable and has more battery life than the msi wind.

other than these things, which has better performance, durability, and efficiency? can anyone help?

I looked around PC shops today; they’re selling the 1GB RAM, 160 HDD specs for P23,500…

In Singapore, most of them are going for 700 SGD (22k PHP) but with local warranty.

Does anyone know where I can get this for a lower price with warranty? Thanks…
