 Nice looking package, but too slow even for light duty Jan 06, 2009
I've had many small machines -- going back to a series of the old Windows CE powered mini-notebooks -- and I love the portability. I was keyed to love this device as well, and its metal shell and general high build quality certainly gave a good impression out of the box. However, it's just too slow. I mean -slow-. Slow as in click on a menu and wait, and wait, for a response. Slow as in too slow even for duty as a word processor, where I was frequently in the position of typing and then having to stop and wait for my words to appear. Or browsing the 'net and having it take so long to respond to a click that I couldn't be sure it really registered.
It would be a neat little machine, if only it perked along more quickly.
 Fantastic build, terrible CPU! Dec 30, 2008
I bought an MSI Wind a week after getting the Mini-Note because even after installing Xubuntu and upgrading to 2gb, this netbook is simply underpowered to handle anything other than text editing, terminal usage and light web browsing.
To be fair, the build quality is amazing -- this is definitely one of the nicest keyboards I've used on -any- computer. And everything else is top-notch... everything but the CPU! And when it comes down to it, this is one of the first computers I've had that's primarily bottlenecked by the processor.
The 1280 x 768 resolution, which sounds great on paper, is absolutely useless on an 8.9" screen. You can bump up the dpi on your OS, but you're bound to run into various elements of apps that don't respect this setting, which translates into microscopic UI elements.
The 3-cell battery life is abysmal, eking out an average of 1:40 of portability. The only reason you'd want one of these tiny creatures is to carry it around. Nobody wants to sit at home plugged in with their microscopic 8.9" screen.
HP is so close with the 2133. I really wanted to make this netbook work, trying Ubuntu -and- Xubuntu (after many random headaches in the installation process). But the MSI Wind blows it out of the water with a reasonable 1024x600 10" screen and zippy 1.6ghz atom processor.
The speakers are also better on the HP than the MSI. The HP 2133 has surprisingly powerful speakers that actually face you (at the expense of a ginormous bevel). And although I understand a laptop shouldn't necessarily be judged by speakers, the MSI speakers send their tinny bark somewhere opposite the viewer, and require pulling out the headphones to really experience a movie or hulu. Also, the MSI keyboard is decent with good tactile feedback -- but the half-sized ,./ keys and smaller SHIFT to fit the arrow keys causes many typos. There's no doubt it's a compromise for the CPU and screen.
If you want this keyboard (and it's well worth lusting after), take a look at the Mini-Note 1000. And if you want all the juicy "business" class expandability with the keyboard and incredibly well-designed aluminum case, I hear there's an Atom version of the 2133 coming out soon.
Otherwise I'd look elsewhere. So close HP! But sorry, the VIA C7-M is a piece of junk and should have never been released with this sexy body!
Overall I'm much more impressed with the 6-cell MSI Wind, even if it did cost me an extra $150 (50% more!) and that says something.

Do not buy Dec 28, 2008
I returned this computer in one day. The processor was slow and you cannot even watch video - very choppy image. If you haven't used Linux before like I do, there is a huge learning curve. Stick with the XP version with the Atom processor.
 great little computer Dec 28, 2008
this is a great little computer. You can take where ever you want to go and it works really awesome!
