I intend to buy U100, I was told by the sales person that it has a 4 cell battery and U90 has 3 cell battery.
Is it true?

How about the battery life for wifi on only?

yup..that would be bonus if MSI allow it under battery operating.

but i guess it must drain battery much faster

update...for those after flash to ver 1.08, u need disconnect AC power & battery for 10 seconds to let the "Embedded Controller" digest to prevent some weird problem. - according to some taiwan forum

has anyone tried out the BIOS ver 108? which allow the turbo key by Fn+F10
[right][snapback]19753773[/snapback][/right]

Yipee.....is it stable so far ?

Cause I don't think this's an official release from MSI.
Some early user reported some of the Fn key function is gone ??

Ok. very Noob question, but where can I get the Intel 4965AGN card and how do I install it in my Wind?

[addedon]September 6, 2008, 9:00 pm[/addedon]Also, I can't seem to find to buy the 6 cell battery separately. Can anyone help me out?
[right][snapback]19714850[/snapback][/right]

well basically you need to look for those who wish to change their wifi card from their labby.
sometimes you will be able to spot these devices in Garagesell

in Ebay also ... you can also visit shops in Lowyat "specilize in recon machine" they should have .

Atheros WiFi mini card better? draft N? how much u bought
[right][snapback]19691157[/snapback][/right]

opps before that i need to clarify ~ i am using a ABG version no AGN

hehehe rage wise is better then the Original one

if you notice for Msi Wind the standard antenna has only + and - terminal .

for DraftN cards you will that 3 terminals

so i got the ABG version instead just to cracking my head to think how do I gonna place the 3rd terminal antenna to obtain optimum speed.

Any Wind U100 user upgraded their Wifi mini card? I changed mine into an Intel 4965AGN to get Wireless-N. I'm wondering is anybody tried using an Atheros WiFi mini card. The Intel one doesn't do 300Mbps with my DLink DIR-655 router.

AFAIK their distributor is Media Forte to maybe you can go back to them if any problem.

Enlight is another distributor, whom Jayacom takes from. Media Forte to me seems more trustable

yeah computerwar also offer the same warranty period. Just that they mention had to get back to them if there is any issue on the netbook so i suppose is inhouse and they will deal with MSI / /
