3 out of 5 stars MSI WIND u120 Cannot Accept Additional RAM!!!   December 12, 2009
R. Bender
The MSI WIND u120 cannot accept additional memory upgrades, contrary to the design of the MSI WIND u100 that had a DIMM slot capable of accepting an additional 512MB, 1GB or 2GB of RAM.

DO NOT BUY ADDITIONAL RAM FOR YOUR MSI WIND u120, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY!! Amazon suggests that you buy additional RAM in the "Frequently Bought Together" tab of the MSI WIND u120, and I suspect it's because Amazon customers are being frequently misled about upgrade capabilities of this computer.

I have yet to use my MSI WIND u120 in much capacity, so I can't comment on its performance, but if I could do it again I'd look for an MSI WIND u100 as it appears this latest model is a step down from the previous version.



5 out of 5 stars Great capability for the money.   November 27, 2009

I am very happy with the MSI Netbook. The keyboard is very close to a full size keyboard. The 10 inch screen is perfect. I am not crazy about the touch pad, but this is true about any touch pad on any netbook or laptop. The MSI touch pad is a little more sensitive then others I have tried but this is a small price to pay for such an excellent product. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a Netbook at good price.


1 out of 5 stars 2 out of 3 out of commission in 6 months   October 5, 2009

I own a treatment center of kids... and use lots of computers for the kids. I bought 3 of these... the screens cracked within 3 months on one and within 6 months on another. I also own 3 Apple macbooks, 1 dell laptop and two IBM thinkpads... all for several years without any problems... MSI said I caused the damage and wanted to charge for the repairs... Better to buy something new that will last for more than a few months.


1 out of 5 stars Frustrating Experience   October 3, 2009
A. Davenport
Received the order in a timely manner. Set-up was absolutely horrible. Could not get pass the Windows XP page where you click on your user name. Tried to get technical support - not available on the weekends at all. Decided to register product (only way you can get technical support). Got to the registration page, clicked on the link to help identify where the necessary numbers are - link is no longer available! Furthermore did not receive an instruction booklet with my order. This company should be ashamed to sell a product this way.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect For College   September 21, 2009
Pope (Lawrence Kansas)
Battery life is plenty long, comes with windows xp, looks great, has a large enough keyboard, the fan is quiet, and is small enough to carry around comfortably. Wireless signal is always strong as well. Make sure to disable the mouse pad when typing or you will probably accidentally click it. Overall A+
