MADE BY GAMERS.......FOR GAMERS.......

if you ask me... dont buy it, its crap lol :]
buy a normal notebook ^^

ehm, those arent so old :]
but ehh... would u like to play ANYTHING on such a HUGE screen? :] lol...
if i was you i would buy a second hand ( or whatever u call it ) notebook, a good one lol

Yeah Kai - Search for another cheap way to get a computer.

And - you can't play that good in a bus ??

the Eeec pc's are decent, but not high powered, even the new Windows version is slow & the battery life isn't great, i was gonna get one, but tbh my iphone does everything that does, & looks better too :)

dunno if your still looking at these, but the first generation Atom based netbooks have dropped in price to around 250 pounds (about 325 euro i guess)

i have the Advent 4211 which is a clone of the MSI Wind.

1.6ghz intel cpu
120gig hard drive
1gig DDR2 ram (cost 3 pounds for another gig on ebay ;) )
Built in 1.3mega pixel webcan (top of screen mout) + mic
Built in WiFi & Bluetooth
10" screen @ max res of 1024 x 600 (low res, but good quality, that makes a big difference)
XP Home edition.
3 usb ports
SD card reader


downside is the battery don't last long, if your just surfing the web you get "maybe" 2 hrs, thats if u turn off the bluetooth & use fairly low screen brightness. but if your watching movies etc, then you get maybe an hour :( i got a better, but cheaper battery from ebay (original one is only 3 cell, i got a 9 cell) my new battery lasts upto 8hrs, goes down to about 6hrs if i'm using wifi & watching vids etc, but thats still ace imo :) as it means i don't need to lug my charger around anymore ;)

all these are exactly the same as the msi wind/advent 4211, & can all use the same parts/replacements etc, as far as i know this is a comlpete list of all MSI Wind clones sold across europe.

* Advent 4211 in the UK.[5]
* Medion Akoya Mini in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland and Australia (as of 23 October 2008) (the Medion Akoya Mini is a slightly different containing a different wireless card, no Bluetooth (Aust. model features mini Bluetooth dongle), and 0.3 Mpx camera).[5]
* MyBook M11 'Freedom' in Denmark, however, unlike most of the other OEM versions, the MyBook M11 does not have a logo on its case.
* Mouse Computer LuvBook U100 in Japan. [6]
* Mivvy M310 in the Czech Republic.[7] but with 2GB of RAM and a 120GB HDD.
* Tsunami Moover T10 in Portugal (XP version only) [8]
* NTT Corrino 101I and Aristo Pico i300 [9] in Poland
* RoverBook Neo U100 in Russia with 120 GB or 160 GB HDD
* Axioo Pico in Indonesia with 160 GB HDD but not include Bluetooth
* Multirama HT Xpress Book in Greece with 160 GB HDD
* Positivo Mobo White in Brazil, with 4 models: 1000, 1050, 1070 and 1090. All sport Intel Atom Processors and range from 512 MB RAM / 80 GB HDD (Mobo White 1000) to 1 GB RAM and 160 GB HDD (Mobo White 1090).
* The Proline U100 in South Africa.
* Ahtec LUG N011 in The Netherlands, Spain and Belgium. Offered with SUSE Linux, Windows XP or no operating system. Has the same design as the original Wind (white). Comes without logo on the case. Can be upgraded at purchase.
* Certified Data U100 in Canada, sold at London Drugs.

All OEM versions are offered in different colors to the original MSI Wind, apart from the Tsunami Moover (white only), the Mobo White and the Ahtec LUG N011 (white only). The higher versions are obviously more expensive


Acer, Asus & samsung also do almost identical Atom based netbooks, but they are generaly a bit more expensive (apart from the acer aspire one, which is cheaper, but has a smaller screen & linux instead of windows) & the Samsung NC-10 & NC-20 have much better batteries included.

they may go down further in price as the next gen of energy efficient Atom cpu's are here already for desktop pc's, so they'll be available in netbooks anytime now, so don't be surprised if you see the 1.6ghz atom netbooks hit the 200 pound mark in the next few months.

& for your info, the current Atom netbooks (like mine) run ut04 with gfx turned down & @ 800x600 pretty damn good :) tho, it's impossible to use the trackpad for it lols :)


hope this helped m8's
