I have an Eee 900 which I’ll be keeping for the really good Linux software. For a windows notebook I’m looking to purchase a Lenovo Ideapad S10. The design looks really good, plus it’s weight’s suppose to about 900 grams. Looking forward to that being my primary laptop for business work.

Skip the harddrive and get the SSD version of the ASUS Eee 1000 and total travel weight with charger is LESS than the MSI combo, and battery life stretches to 30min more than the 6 cell MSI, and the SSD version of the 1000 boots up 12 seconds faster… The downside is extra cost but worth it for the advantages.

Hi from Madrid ( Spain ) to everyone; i´m sure that only 2 pounds doesn´t matter at all, what i look in a netbook is to carry it with me all day at town, from office to clients, and so on. No need to carry the AC adapter with me all days, so i choose the MSI Wind without any doubt. Only a 6 cell battery really make a difference to change the election of my 2nd netbook someday.

Steve, we’re comparing apples to apple in this post, i.e.; both devices with a 6-cell battery, which is what I ordered. I’m expecting between 5 and 5.5 hours of run-time.

Mmm. With 2.hrs battery life on the base Wind, you might want to think about that adaptor!
On my recent trip to the US with the wind, i had tgo takethe adaptor everywhere with me. Michael has a good point.

Chippy.
