Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Just preordered one from Play! http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/5821035/MSI-...te/Product.html I pondered the Eee 901 too, but went for the Wind because.... - It has the 10" screen but is still compact - 80GB HDD (upgradeable) vs the 20GB SSD in the 901 - Upgradeable RAM - Same Atom chip as the 901, which means 5+ hrs battery life with 6 cell battery. Can't wait! It seems OSX can be got running on the Atom too - http://netkas.org/?p=63 - 10" mini Mac portable = heaven :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I was tempted by the mininote actually, but the 'unknown' proc and the reported so-so battery life put me off. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yup, ordered the advent! I actually prefer the looks. I'm a little worried about whether i'll be able to get a colour matching 6-cell battery, but we'll see! It's just too much cheaper to justify buying the MSI branded one!

P Phooey - does it only come with the 3-cell as standard then? Thought XP version shipped with 6-cell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Due to battery shortages I understand that MSI are shipping ALL winds with 3 cell batteries. I don't know for sure, but I imagine the Advent wouldn't be any different. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
