MSI Wind $499 In Stock fully loaded

Never been so tempted to get something I really dont need than I am right now.

Finally I find them in stock, at a reputable seller none the less, the exact model I wanted, and its fully loaded with the highest spec they have (120gig HDD? I wonder if thats a typo)

I just got the G50V and very rarely would I need the Wind but its so freakin cool, so if I dont want one I hope you guys get them all since these things are very hard to find.

Enjoy.

Edit: and I got one lol

Guess you can look forward to a review of it soon.

 

Didn't want the Love Edition or the 6 cell Pink one?

 

They up the the size of the HDD but it's still the 3-cell battery.I would hold out for a 6-cell.

 

Haha, no

6 cell would be nice but not the end of the world. You still get over 2 hours with the 3 cell and I just happen to be techy enough to know how to open batteries and manually upgrade them if i really need to.

 

You can open the battery and add more cells??

Anyways, the Wind looks cool, But I think I would rather the Acer Aspire One for $100 less with a 6-cell battery. Only 1 inch smaller

 

I have not looked at the one much, but the Wind won me over early with built in bluetooth (a must) a regular hard drive, near full size keyboard, and all the other necessities.

Plus it has Windows 95 wich is ok but it fully works with Vista and I like that.

However I did just cxl the order lol, not because its not perfect in spec but just because I need to talk with the wife first about it since I should save for it first and not put it on a credit card.

 

Oh dear god...Windows 95...

 

er windows xp typo lol

see if feels that old since i have used Vista exclusivly for over a year.

 

Without SP1....I feel sorry for you

 

no 6 cell can anyone find the 6 cell for this?

 

Hehe, I always get tempted with technology.
But the recurring questions, "Do I really need this? And how often will I use it?" come up and often the answer is no and very little. Maybe those questions would come up less if I had money to burn, but alas, I do not.

Anyway, I guess I'm ignorant to the whole netbook deal, but I don't see why there is so much hype surrounding them. I guess portability with my laptop isn't a big issue for me, but I still don't see how dropping $300+ will help alleviate whatever stresses you have with a typical laptop. If portability was an issue or factor, surely one would spend that extra $300+ on a "proper" notebook?

/This angle of perception brought to you by a frugal tech enthusiast that is netbook-ignorant. Wait, what?

 

ebay maybe a good spot to check but not sure if they would be worth the cost.

edit: nvm nothing on ebay.

 

Lol, so you got it. I will look forward to the review.

Seems you got the money to burn. I just bought a laptop as a desktop and laptop replacement, so buying a netbook now would make me feel a bit daft about my purchase (I would probably drag my MSI Wind with me every time I go out then). I assume you go to LAN parties and whatnot? The G50 will fit the bill there, MSI Wind for everything else

 

Well that was kind of the idea, no lan parties or anything like that I am a busy married man. I actually was going to get it for my wife mostly so she would be happy and stay off my main desktop computer, but I second guessed myself an cancled it since I do not have money to burn right now.

I'll sit on it for a bit and think if I should get maybe a 13-15" notebook instead and also depate giving her a $500 notebook when the most she ever gave me was like $50 for a present.
