The term "netbooks" may not be familiar to some of you. It’s used to describe the newly launched Intel atom platform that features in sub 10-inch laptops. These machines are inexpensive, have relatively modest specifications, and are designed for casual use. The most famous member of this new club is ASUS’s Eee PC, which was largely responsible for sudden popularity of this category.
In light of ASUS’s success, nearly every major laptop manufacturer is introducing a product in this range. One such company is MSI, which recently introduced its MSI Wind or "Wi-Fi Network Device". This product earned itself a good deal of fame even before its release, as it was used by Microsoft at the unveiling of Atom at IDF earlier this year. Does it live up to the hype? Let’s find out.
Its body outline is quite decent, with no extra flat-lined edges. The build quality is top-notch; it employs a lightweight plastic that's quite durable and has firm hinges that don’t squeak even if pushed hard. The body itself does not squeak or display any extra flex.
The keyboard of the U100 is about four-fifths the size of a normal keyboard. I was worried it may be too cramped, but my fears proved unfounded. The keyboard is larger than the picture indicates and offers a good typing experience. The keys are comfortably spaced, offer decent tactile feedback, and have a decent textured finish. I typed this preview on the U100, and despite being a touch typist who's fussy about the keyboard I use, I had to admit it was very comfortable.
The touchpad was, however, a bit of a disappointment. The touchpad area is small and takes some getting used to. The mouse keys are quite hard, and often need more than a firm press to register.
The screen is a 10-inch backlit LED panel with a native resolution of 1024 x 600. For a small notebook, this is adequate screen space. Though not on par with other backlit LEDs, this screen offers pretty impressive color and contrast levels. But on the brightness front the laptop lagged a bit – even at maximum brightness it looked a bit sober. While some users may appreciate this, it affects video playback – dark videos need to have their brightness increased via the player.
Connectivity-wise the U100 is decently loaded for a notebook. It has 3 USB ports, 1 VGA adapter, 1.3 MP webcam, 4-in-1 card reader, 802.11 a/b/g support for wireless, and a standard 100 MB Ethernet port.
