That's $10 better than eBay sellers, and half the typical shipping cost. MSI's smallest HDD offering for a Wind, but it has the bigger battery (5+ hours of use) and Bluetooth. Upgrade the RAM to the max 2gb and maybe get a bigger hard drive (if you need it), and you've got the best netbook you can get. Model: U100-053US |

That is a nice price for a 6 cell wind. Small-ish hard drive (compared to an Aspire One 160gb drive) but the wind gets good reviews. A little larger and maybe heavier than some of the other netbooks, but you do get a 10" screen. If a wind is what you want, I think I would jump on it. If I didn't already have the AA1 6 cell I think I would get this for myself Dennis |

I'm not liking the small hard drive though. only reason for not buying. |

Only 1 of the RAM chips is easily accessible. So if you order a 1 gb Wind, the max most people should hope to upgrade to is 1.5 gb. If you want 2 gb of RAM, you pretty much have to order it that way. |

Could you expand on the second ram chip being not easily accessible? I might have poor google skills, but i cant seem to find where it says that this computer has 2x512 chips. I did find many tutorials on how to install an additional 1gm ram chip to make it two, however. Maybe these are different models? |

The wind comes with either 512mb or 1gb of onboard RAM and a totally empty DDRII slot. If you have a model with 512 onboard, the max you can upgrade to is 1.5GB. If you have a model with 1gb onboard (like the one I am typing on right now), you can pop in a 1gb DDRII chip and have 2gb of RAM total (like I did). |

Costco.com has three Wind models. The non-bluetooth one is $350+10 shipping. I'm thinking that it might be worth spending the extra $60 so I don't have to wait outside Microcenter in the 20 degree cold this Saturday (plus get Costco's longer return period and extra warranty). They also have the white one for $350. |

kuvari said:did u get one from eBay with discout ... That's a separate deal from the live dot com CB. You should see the CB on the item purchase page before you go to PayPal. I just bought one today and the CB was instantly sent to my account so it's $290 OOP - that's $100 less than the original deal. And it's from the same company. |

The OP's link doesn't work. When I go to Mwave it looks like the Love edition is the one with the rebate. |

could you tell me exactly how you did this? I've tried finding an eBay CashBack on an msi wind u100, but eBay is never listed as being a store that has any kind of CashBack. |
