msi wind reviewed by afterdawn

Here are a couple of new reviews for you to check out today. First up, the folks at AfterDawn.com have a new review up on the MSI Wind U100 netbook. While there’s no verdict, the site does list several pros and cons for the netbook. For pros, the U100 has “pretty fast start-up, good keyboard and touchpad, extremely powerful and longlasting battery”, while the cons include “Wi-Fi range, no scrolling on the touchpad, size, and hiccups in high load browsing”.

The second review comes from the folks at TrustedReviews where they managed to get their hands on a Toshiba Satellite NB100 netbook. Here’s what they had to say about the NB100:

Thus, if you want a no frills netbook at a no frills price, the Satellite NB100 could be a very good option.

Reviews of the Dell Inspiron 9 Mini start flowing in…

dell inspiron mini 9

Several new reviews of the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 netbook have begun to pop up around the web. I thought I’d list some of the more recent reviews and provide a blurb from the review for each linky. Enjoy!

From down under at the Sydney Morning Herald comes this review of the Inspiron Mini 9:

The screen is perhaps the best of all the netbooks we’ve seen and the stereo speakers have sufficient punch for enjoying music and videos. … If you’re in the market for a netbook, this should be near the top of your list.

The Mercury News takes the Mini 9 for a test drive and has this to say:

Dell’s entry into the Netbook market means it’s time to take these low-cost, low-power PCs seriously. The Inspiron Mini 9 is an excellent example of the form, if not radically different from the competition.

And finally, the folks at TabletPCReview have this to say about the new netbook from Dell:

Ultimately, the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is a fabulous netbook that is sure to end up on many Christmas lists this year … but it’s only “your new best friend” if you’re willing to overlook a few flaws.
