My New MSI Netbook

by Paul Legan on January 22, 2009

I’m writing this post on my shiny new MSI Wind Netbook using the ScribeFire Firefox add-on.  So far I really like the size – it’s even smaller than I imagined – and the speed is more than adequate for everyday tasks.

Setup was a breeze – I was able to connect to my wireless network and wireless printer without a problem.  Of course, I was expecting everything to run pretty smoothly considering it runs Windows XP Home and I’ve never really had a problem with this OS.

My biggest complaint is probably the keyboard, which is obviously smaller than a normal keyboard. The period and slash buttons are cut in half like most smaller laptops, so I constantly type “./” instead of “.” because my finger presses both keys at the same time.  That being my only real issue, for $300 I’m pretty impressed.
