User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars What a little machine!
This is my first review on Amazon, but one I personally wanted to write for those teetering on the edge of buying a netbook (and specifically this netbook).
After months (literally) of reviewing every netbook under the sun from the Asus, to the Samsung, I finally decided on this computer. Let me tell you the reasons why, as I am sure they are the same ones mulling over in your mind.
* Need the 9+ hours of battery life. I looked at Asus and Samsung, both which get great battery life, but they didn’t have the 9 cell battery. This MSI computer does have that “bump” at the back, but it is a GREAT thing to have. I can’t imagine not having my keyboard slanted, it makes typing SO much easier. I have been getting 10+ hours on the battery, when optimized.
* Need a computer with 92%+ keyboard size. I have decently big hands, and I didn’t want to not be able to type on my new netbook, otherwise the point of having one is lost. This keyboard is great. One criticism is that the period key (as mentioned by another reviewer) is a bit smaller than the rest. Not a big deal, but one worth mentioning, although I couldn’t say it was a deal breaker.
* Screen: You need the biggest screen you can get. This MSI offers one of the biggest and best screens available. It uses low power and displays great video.
* Build: The Samsung almost got my vote on this one, but I decided to try MSI, and I am happy I did. I don’t’ have both sitting in front of me at the same time but the build of the MSI is great in my opinion. No creaky keyboards, or cheap items on the MSI that I can tell.
* Mousepad: No issues with the mousepad, it is pretty much regular size, maybe a bit smaller. Downloaded new syp. drivers and it works perfect with scrolling.
Overall this is a great computer, long battery life, solid build and very stylish! I would definitely recommend this computer to anyone, without hesitation.
4 Stars Finally happy
Purchased the MSI 123 blue. Had some trouble inserting the upgrade ram. Poor instructions. I purchased the $49.99 cd/dvd playing to go with my unit. Instructions were worse but got it running. Everything works great. I heard you have to be careful how many programs you put on this little guy. This is what I need to find out now. Yes the case that came with it is too small because of the battery. MSI or Amazon should make good on this and replace it with one that fits. All in all I think it is a great little computer.
