in HP Mini 1000 starting price drops to $359 on Liliputing
Brad -
So what's the verdict on the heat build-up of the 1000? Is it WIND cool or fry an egg on it 2133? I was thinking of picking one up, but I hate a hot netbook....
Thanks

in It’s official: MSI Wind with 6-cell battery gets a $50 price hike on Liliputing
Hey
Since they're both the same price now, and the EEE has at least 3 more features than the WIND....and the fact you can get an EEE now...the choice is easy!

Well, not exactly easy.
A) Newegg is the only retailer I've seen selling the Eee PC 1000H for $550
and Newegg is out of stock.
B) According to Laptop Magazine, the MSI Wind gets about 30-40 minutes more
battery life out of a 6 cell battery than the Eee PC 1000H
So it all depends on which features matter the most... and how soon you want
to buy.

Whoops. I should read the AdSense on my own page more often. It looks like
you can also pick up an Eee PC 1000H for $550 from Excaliber PC:

in MSI Wind with 6 cell battery now available on Liliputing
Hey People..
I think it's just a supply and demand thing going on - as we saw with the EEE PC 1000H, the manufactures have quite a bit of wiggle room with the price of these netbooks and are willing to drop the price to be competative. When Dell and Acer get into the mix next month I'm sure MSI and ASUS will respond with more price drops. I actually picked up the 1000H when the price dropped and I'm very happy with it...but I do feel I paid too much for it...but I was sick of waiting for the WIND...
I say hold your ground folks - wait it out a few more weeks...and by Christmas I bet we'll be seeing netbooks at the intended 200-300 price...

I agree with you FDA, I was tired of waiting for the 6 cell wind so i bought the eee pc 1000h after the price drop. I'm glad I did cause it's cheaper than thee 6 cell wind now! They said the 6 cell wouldn't be available until Sept so I just went for the eee. I think if you do wait until Sept, prices will go down cause the dell e will come out

in Acer Aspire One goes under the knife on Liliputing
How come he said the RAM is soldered to the MB when the pics clearly show the dim slot on the underside of the MB with a 512mb stick in it? It's like the WIND - it has some ram on the MB, but is expandable...granted, not easily!

You are 100% right, you can upgrade it to 1.5 G RAM, you can add a one G RAM to it, most people don't read (look) carefully...

I got it from a store in Huntsville, AL called Gigaparts. Here is a link
http://www.gigaparts.com/store.php?action=profi...
I paid a little more to get it locally with taxes and all, but it was purely an impulse buy and I don't regret it so far. The MSI Wind had my attention but I figure I could use this for a couple of months until it gets easily available in the US.

in MSI Wind gets US price and shipping date on Liliputing
I totally need one to play with too and can't find any place selling it yet except for some overseas UK sites. All the other UPMCs had at least some major sites (like AMAZON and PC Connection) on board taking pre-orders months before their release so I'm thinking distribution of the WIND is going to be an issue...

Well, MSI didn't officially announce the computer until this morning. So I'd
give it a few days. I'm fairly certain you'll be able to find preorder pages
at Amazon, Newegg, and other sites soon.

proecessing, etc). I watched a 44 minute Hulu video last night and the area
directly under the touchpad got pretty hot, but the battery was just a bit
on the warm side.
