I LIKE Linux more and more its so flexible unlike the Hackintosh what do u think a 1.6 Atmo Processor can outrun the P4 3 Ghz ? i`m still surprised at u MACers you guys still think that MAC is better than Linux on x86 hardware ?? i do agree with you on one thing that Windows should be named Winsucks Actuall Mark you have to admit that you`re very very biased with the OSX thingy and about the MSI vs Asus i`d take ASUS any day over the MSI !!! hell more features and cheaper what makes the MSI any better, and about the OS thing i`ll run Linux over OSX because once its not properly designed by Apple to the specific hardware it sucks all the time and BTW i`ve tried the hackintosh on my P4 3 Ghz it sucks big time its toooo awfull i`ve wasted 4 GB download bandwidth please forgive me god :`( !!

The only issue may be the need for a plug adapter. No idea about the shipping costs.

Just picked one up as I'm holidaying in California. Nice bit of kit. Dual booting it with OS X, though the sound doesn't work with Leopard (wifi works without replacing the card mind). A very nice machine for the price, but the netbook prices seem to be in freefall at the minute. Competition can be a good thing (at least over here). The Asus 1000H is now $450 in the US.

For example, I have already added an 80GB Hard Drive on my Eee 901 that usually comes with 20 or 12GB SSD. I have also installed a touch screen but this is a little bit of a serious modification. Also if you dont like the Wifi you can easily change the module and insert a more advance one. You can add a 3G/HSPDA Mini PCIE Card and if you like to solder then your list is endless.

Reviewers online also said the wifi reception is better. I had to choose between the two and ended up going with the MSI Wind since I wanted something light weight. Got mine from Amazon.

I tried touch typing and it was very easy to do (something that I found impossible on the eeePC 7 inch). So for me, the choice is now between this and the eeePC 1000H. Unfortunately, Amazon is currently out of stock on the MSI wind. Hoping they get it back in stock soon.

I am actually a huge fan of the Eee and own the 900 but I am also very fair. I know the although Eee started this trend they actually fell behind for a while and then started playing catchup themselves. Competitors released products that did more for less and that actually shook up the pricing structure of the Eee. If you check out the laptops they released this year, their original prices and their restructured pricing you will see it was because of competition like the Acer One and the MSI Wind. The Asus 1000 is available in Hawalli and I saw it there myself yesterday so I am not pushing the MSI Wind because its in Kuwait while the Asus isn't, they;re both here. I am not actually pushing anything here not the MSI Wind nor the Asus 1000. The reason I am a huge fan of MSI Wind is the fact that I can install OSX on it and have wifi working by just replacing the wifi card which is something that wasn't possible with my Asus.
