Well, I'm going to be making a purcase on a netbook soon. I'm not sure which one though. I'm stuck between an Asus EEE PC and an MSI Wind.

MSI Wind

Asus EEE PC

The only reason why I can't decide is because of the pros and cons of some of the books. The EEE PC has multi touch while the Wind doesn't. But the Wind has 802.11N network adapter and the EEE PC doesn't. I have been hearing that the speakers on the EEE PC are better but I just can't decide.

Asus has a 1000HE model that is superior. It features chicklet keys, improved keyboard (i.e. right shift key), battery life improvements (probably the redesigned Atom processor), 802.11n, slightly faster processor.

The MSI Wind is a bit lighter, but there is far less expandability compared to Asus 1000-line of netbooks. MSI's specific 945GSE-based motherboard using in the Wind limits memory to 1GB (shipped as 512MB onboard, 512MB SODIMM, IIRC), but Asus' 945GSE-chipset motherboard supports up to 2GB (shipped as 1GB SODIMM). You'll also want to check out which netbooks are easier to upgrade (if you intend to do so), some models (even if they're just a different color) can make things difficult for do-it-yourself-ers.

Its really depening on how much money you got.

But I wouldn't get the MSI wind.

As superweapons are sayin
either take the 1000HE if you need 3G (not otherwise)
or
take the 1000HA which have alittle downsides but none big.

Eitherway you probebly want to buy 1gb ram extra right away for
the best expirance.

No you wont get better support with MSI wind.
And asus doesn't release one every week.
Its more like 1 every month or every second month.

You will get better support with the eee because many more got it and you can just ask in the forum.

Thanks for the opinion guys. I just need a netbook that will fit my needs. That is to do my school work, some programming, and surf the web. I do plan to upgrade to 2GB for either of the net books. I have been eyeing these netbooks since they were first released and I'm anxious to get my hands onto one. I mean, they already look like they have hardware that'll last for years to come. Some of them have 802.11N and bluetooth as well as a 1.3 megapixel camera and microphone. I heard you can get a mod installed on the EEE PC that enables touch screen, but it will void your warranty. The price for these net books seem about right after all. Right now, it all comes down to which one is better suited.

BTW, i plan to use linux on these netbooks so I should've said that earlier.

Nevermind what I said, I just checked it. It should support 2GB okay.

Alright thanks. One last question, does the MSI wind take 2 ram cards or 1?

It has two memory slots, but don't memory upgrades/changes void the MSI Wind's warranty? At least they used to... there's no memory cover, you have to take off the entire panel to get to the memory.

Oh, in that case. I guess 1GB more of memory won't make a difference for my needs.
