msi wind netbook 299.99
« on: March 08, 2009, 04:41:08 AM »

Microcenter has it 10 dollars cheaper.. but id go through best buy.. service plan = bad ass
http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0304016











http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9178775&st=msi+wind&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218046803577

i went into my local best buy and ordered it the other day for 319.99

called em up and they said i can go back in and have the price adjusted!

basically if you buy it through the site you have to pay shipping and shit but go into your local best buy have it shipped to the store and dont pay one sent extra

shit for 309.99 for a laptop like that cant fucking beat it

Everyone in my family is getting these kinds of mini 'pooters, just a different brand (Acer) & a bit cheaper. They're actually very nice - light, strudy, and very compact. All they need is the finger-stick mouse thing, I can't use anything else. For $300 I'd just get a used clone of my T60.

Expresscard slot. 128mb Video memory. i use it fort playing wow on the road, mobile internet using my sprint aircard. its the best laptop i ever owned. out of all the netbooks the Lenovo and the HP are the most upgradable hands down.

i paid 480 for my dell insipiron 1525 about 2 years ago, w/ 2gb of ram, dvd writer, plenty of processor, etc.

the main selling point was I had/have a copy of Apple OSX Leopard 10.3 that runs great on it. if I need windows for something (ie. tuning) I just run the windows partition at boot, and wa la.

I don't care who you talk to, my 10+ years of experience is this:
OSX > windows -  for daily user functions.
Windows > OSX - for starting a business (more flexible) or gaming (duh)
Linux > windows & OSX - for hacking, servers, development, etc.

Its got a Mobile Intel 945 Express with 128MB ram, that link has a list of all the tested games. i also have an HP Dv9000 19" wide, 3.0ghz dual core laptop under a year old and since i've bought this i havnt had to use it for other than transferring data from dvd or cd to my 4GB flash drive. i take the thing everywere, surfing the web on a 5 hour vacation drive was great...playing WoW half the time. their great machines. alot of folks say their only good for surfing but i use if for programming, web work, gaming, just about everything i can do on my big rig this does just fine.  Theh underestimated what people would use them for and Lenovo stated their going to put out a firmware update to give 256MB Display memory. first update took it up to 128 from 64.

I paid $360 at the Circuit City closing deal. it runs ubuntu no issues right out the box. Mac os also but i dont like osx and only am setup to dual boot.
