MSI WindPad W100 in the flesh!

@dan: Almost 30k ang average prices ng tablets ngayon.

@Ben: Oo nga eh. Pero kung ako papipiliin marami ng mas murang laptops na maganda ang specs. Maganda ngang tignan at portable ang tablets pero ewan ko lang. Ano naman gagawin ko sa tablet kung alam kong di naman wifi spot ang buong pinas? :D

Yung mga tablet kaya ng acer darating kaya sa Pinas?

Usually ang nagpapamahal sa tablets eh yung software and processor…plus kung solid state din yung drive…also the brand name.

nung nalaman kong windows 7 home premium…nah, mahal talaga.

Starter nga mahal na eh….

Medyo weird lang minsan kasi dapat kung Android, medyo bababa ang price…eh yung iba, hinde eh.

Hinde kaya monopoly na sila sa prices ng tablet? Hehehehe

Don’t get me wrong, but, I just can’t find the reason why people still pick the iPad over these kinds of tablets. The iPad is, no offense, just an oversized iPod touch. Better buy the latter and you’ll get the same experience. (Well, except of course the bigger screen.)

Anyway, I still prefer an android tablet over WP7 ones. I better buy a portable laptop with Windows 7 if I wanted it. :)

mahal naman,, pagbumaba na price ng mga tablets bibili na ko,,

@ something, exactly, the bigger screen of the iPad provides entirely different user experience from using ipod touch.ie is terms of using productivity apps or games, it provides experience similar with using your pc’s screen

maganda yung tablets for lights automation controlled sa house and other appliance.

in terms of specifications, the best tablet i’ve ever seen is the Asus Eee pad. it’s got a Intel Core i5 ULV processor, making it one of the most powerful and portable tablet in the market.

I just googled it, they design/produce graphics cards indeed. – just to answer my own question xp.

Jhay, can you show at least ONE evidence or proof that made you say MSI IS KNOWN FOR ITS CRAPPY PRODUCTS?

Yabang naman ng Jhay na yan! Punta ka dito sa akin magpapakita ako sa yo ng MSI product na hindi crappy. Tatlong taon na going strong pa rin. Tapos ipapakain ko sa yo brod, masyadong maangas yang bibig mong kumag ka!

Baka ikaw lang ang nakakaknown na crappy ang MSI products. O baka naman personal grievances lang yan… Hhhhhmmmmm…

pusang tulog

Hey pig when will you stop trolling this blog. Magcomment ka na lang sa pep.ph, kautak at ka grammar mo pa ang mga palengkera dun.

Proof? Search “msi sucks” on google and u’ll see why

Medyo mahal nga itong tablet na to. Anyway beautiful naman ang porma at Windows 7 pa. But I will choose a laptop rather than a tablet.

@jhay: almost every product would have a ” sucks” result. swertihan din minsan. my MSI U100 netbook (first gen) is still going strong for the purpose it was bought and dual-boots between Windows and Ubuntu 10.10. :)

to get back to the original post: this tablet is a bit too lacking and too late. Windows at its current incarnation is not suitable for tablets, plus it can drain the battery faster. Unless tablets can go w/o a charger for at least 6-8hrs then it kind of defeats the purpose of a mobile, mostly-on gadget.

my opinion only, and I am still waiting for the dual-core versions to hit our shore. :D

Jhay butuki na feeling pogi…

Kahit ganyan lang yang grammar ko, ako ang taong magpapahiya sa kahambugan mong kumag ka! May papigpig ka pang nalalaman eh ikaw lang naman itong mukhang kaninong baboy ang kinakain dahil kaning baboy lang din ang laman ng utak mo…

Kita mo naman, obvious na obvious na nagiisa ka lang sa pananaw mo at wala pang taong umaayon sa iyo.

Uutusan mo pa akong magsearch eh ikaw itong may proposition na pangit ang MSI. Bobo ka talaga. Huwag mo kong paghanapin ng ebidensya! Ikaw ang maghanap ng ebidensyang papabor sa iyo bobo!

Ang ebidensya ko eh itong ginagamit kong motherboard ng MSI sa desktop ko. 3 years na to at hindi pa rin pumapalpak. Kaya ayus ayusin mo pananalita mo.

Oh, ulitin ko pa ha… BOBO!!!

Kung di ka sana bastos sa pananalita mo eh di ka rin sana mababastos! Biruin mo ba namang tawagin mong fools yung mga bumibili ng MSI. Eh ni hindi mo nga alam na si Roilo Golez MSI ang biniling laptop sa shop namin dito sa SM Megamall. Punta ka sa mga internet shops at marami ka ring makikitang MSI ang ilang parts ng desktops nila.

Sabagay, tingin ko nga sa gravatar mo malabo ang mata mo… Di katakatakang nabobo ka sa pananaw mo tungkol sa MSI…

Nga pala, bago ko makalimutan, ano nga ba yang pep ph na yan… Mukhang familiar ka diyan Jhay ah… He he he… Mainstay ka diyan?

No offense sa mga mahilig diyan ha… Natatawa lang ako sa Jhay na ito na napaghahalatang mas mababa pa sa mga taong hinahamak niya…

Although some folks are hopefully waiting for a good Windows Tablet, I would not rush on buying this one as the specs are still really limited for what a true blooded Windows user is looking for.

And yes, MSI is not that crappy as some other people in here thinks… Their sales from returning buyers is not bad at all.

@Pusang Tulog – alalay lang bro, baka malunod sa flooding yung kausap mo… ;-)

ipad ang nagpasikat ng tablet, android tabs ang tatalo sa iPad! :)

@Jhay

I must say na siguro puro negative ang nakita mo agad sa MSI,…

Another innovation from MSI, very good. http://iloveyou-mydear.blogspot.com/

Looking at the Philippine’s major brands critically, it’s a fair assumption to say that not one computer / IT brand can claim even a “close to perfect” customer satisfaction rating..basically, walang ganun sa retail mga friends. Just ask (at the minimum) five different stores in V-mall or Gilmore area for confirmation – all the stores will have different preferences / horror stories of different brands – one of them might even be about MSI.

I agree with poster Erin – search for any product and you’re bound to get some negative feedback on it… that’s what makes brands like MSI or Acer better and better every year.

@ Jhay – I think your judgement of MSI is undeservedly harsh – you might have had a bad experience with the brand, but it’s no reason to generalize. Your argument that it’s as bad as Acer makes your declaration even less believable – hence the negative reaction of most people here. Tone down man, the attitude doesn’t help you become more believable. Acer couldn’t have become the top selling brand in Asia Pacific without it having good products and good service, or MSI 5th biggest PC components brand worldwide, for the same reason.

@ topic at hand – I’m disappointed with this product’s form factor – a bit too thick, a bit hard to handle, and with Windows 7 – which is a mediocre touch-based OS, at least for now. Yet I have an engineer friend who bought 3 units at Villman when it was released.

He needed it at the their work site, and a more “user-friendly” touch device like the iPad would not work with their customized software – the form factor, Win7, price and specs all become irrelevant in the face of the WindPad being perfect for the job they needed to do.

Point is, this tablet won’t be for everyone – certainly not those who buy an iPad for their kids to play Angry Birds on. But it *will* be for someone.

Anyway yung motherboards nila dati comparable sa Redfox, kung naabutan nyo pa yun hehe. matibay rin umabot ng about 5 years sa akin with AMD proc.

@ Jhay – *shrug* you’re entitled to your opinion, of course.

I don’t understand though, why you’d buy Acer 2 more times after your first purchase while being so adamant about its apparent lack of quality.

Tone it down friend. Your previous post contained one “fact” – in your opinion at least – (*Acer* doesn’t know quality) and three insults aimed at me.

Apologies for the “verbose” reply, that’s just the way I write. “The tablet doesn’t cater to each individual.” Hope that isn’t too long a reply for you to read, sir.

@charlestio, nothing’s wrong with your comment IMHO. I do the same too. When in a “discussion” on comment’s section/forums, i tend to explain almost everything to lessen the questions that might be aimed back at me, we’re not here all the time. If the reader doesn’t want to elaborate, they can stop at sentence 1 or 2, otherwise, continue.

Citing an example, just like what you have done, is more comprehensive than just saying “doesn’t cater to each individual” which is true to all products btw. The mere mention of the fact, definitely, isn’t in anyway more helpful than real life complaints by a consumer, made for the benefit of those people who may have the same requirements for a product(a tablet this time).

Anyone can complain verbose all they want. It only justifies how some fail to understand others because they are overcomed with arrogance. You know what we call those people? – A S S !

P.S. Uunahan ko na… Paumanhin kung may mali sa aking grammar. Nagsasanay lang pong mag-ingles, walang ingles-speaking sa real life ko. XP

He he he… Nakakaantok na to… Porke’t walang mailabas na pruweba sa proposisyon, nagmamatigas na lang… Sabagay, ;ahat naman ng posts ng ibang tao ay sapat na sigurong patunay na maayos din naman ang MSI at Acer… Pagod na ko sa bugok na to…

O sige, ganito na lang, pag ako nakapagpost pa sa thursday dito ibig sabihin di mo ko napatay. Ibig sabihin sinungaling ka. Bahala ka kung saan mo ko gustong hanapin, basta ako tatambay sa #71 9 de Pebrero. Bahala ka na kung maniniwala ka o hindi. Nandun lang ako. Kiung may karga ka sa ibaba eh darating ka. Kung wala naman eh di makipagpompeangan ka na lang.

Pwede mo ring bawiin yung pagtawag mo sa mga MSI users ng “fools” kung saka-sakaling wala kang pamasahe at wala kang kargada sa baba na pumunta sa amin.

O kaya naman, lagay mo na lang address mo dito at ako na pupunta sa iyo kumag ka…

O paano? hanggang sa huwebes! Huwag kang magalala, di kita papatayin, di naman ako kagaya mo na panay pahangin eh…

Pero sisiguraduhin ko sa yo na yang dugo mo eh magmamantsa sa aserong naririto sa bulsa ko.. Ayt?

Makatulog nga ng maaga. Paghahandaan ko tong pagdating ni Boy Labo… Balita ko tirador daw to sa lugar nila eh… Tirador ng bayabas! He he he…

A poster at another Windpad thread (w100 lands, priced thread) states a rumor of a launch at SM Manila.. anyone hear about this? An android version was also mentioned.. nag google ako maganda ung design nya a… –

Interesting! sarap paglaruan ‘to kung android, lagyan ko din ng custom rom and use it with a free nav app – like my phone but more powerful and with a bigger screen.. sir Yuga hopefully ma cover din ito ng blog, it looks like a great product.

or pwede naman si Jhay talaga yan, desperate to promote his less than stellar blog :P

I guess its just preference. Will there be one that could be more portable than the galaxy? Hayy the waiting continues…
