It doesn't make you a very authoritative reviewer and sounds rather like a high-school girl unsure of the answer, even if it's your own name or favorite color.

I’m a writer who travels quite a bit, and I need a laptop that I can carry everywhere with me without putting much strain on my shoulder. I don’t watch Web video and I leave image processing to my desktop; I use my laptop for writing and surfing the Web and doing a little bit of light Web development. (Lack of an optical drive is not a problem if you have a desktop and a home network. Just share out your desktop optical drive, connect to it from your laptop, and you’re golden. I’ve needed an optical drive all of four times since I’ve owned this laptop.) This one looks nice, though I could wish it had 2GB RAM. If it has at least two USB ports and a comfortable keyboard, I might actually purchase one. http://astore.amazon.com/buy.cheap.msi.wind.mini.laptop.sale-20 I am the target market for an ultralight laptop (I’ve had a ThinkPad x30 for years, which I use as much or more than my desktop).

So the WIND is back! =) But let's see how the Acer Netbook ist doing... a lot to choose from these days! ;) Has a definite release date already been announced? I just heard Q3, if I recall correctly... Thanks for clarification on the scrolling-issue! So the WIND is back! =)

It's just a shame that you can't write. Is English your native language? If it is, then I would consider going back to school. QUOTE: "I said.. “- you dont need a touchpad like the wind”" You really consider that a properly constructed sentence? It's not. Obviously, in your fevered little brain it sounded like Shakespeare reviewing laptops, but trust me, it's like reading the scribblings of a 10 year old. If you think the Wind requires a touchpad like the EEE then may I suggest something along the lines of 'A touchpad similar to the EEE would be an improvement'. QUOTE: "no vga port" I would suggest, if you mean 'I would prefer a mini-vga port of some kind' then say that. No vga port mean no vga port. Simple isn't it? As far as your 'rehashed' list, you've missed the point of the Wind which is to produce a low cost but reasonably specified laptop. The Wifi-N and 32Gb SSD doesn't fit well with the price point they are trying to reach. It's all very well saying I want a laptop with a 10Tb SSD, a 2THz 16 core Intel CPU, Wifi-Z and a Quad-HD screen for £100 but it's rather silly really. Of course it would be nice if the Wind was more highly specified but this would obviously cost more. Much of your wish-list is already available elsewhere, just at a higher cost.

I said.. "- you dont need a touchpad like the wind" LIKE THE WIND! If they had a touch pad which was the same as the latest eee pc as in TOUCHPAD. I wouldnt have a complaint! Alot of other sites, have complained about the touchpad like the wind! No VGA.. yeah.. how about a USB adapter to VGA/DVI/HDMI/TV.. hmm? far more useful. Also you could probably count the number of times on 1 hand in a year, unless you are a hardcore presenter that you'll need VGA out. Unless of course, you are going to sit at a desk with a keyboard, mouse and monitor? Seriously tho, that would be a prime example of defeating the purpose of this laptop. "You should set up your own laptop company and go bankrupt." Doubtful, as I've just rehashed what alot of others said on different forums. @mesohorny
