Netbook Comparison

Before the new Samsung Chromebook is even shipping, the first hands-on video by Kevin C. Tofel is already available. In his 12-minute review Kevin initially compares the new model to its series 5 predecessor and then focuses on the brand new laptop.

Fon founder Martin Varsavsky explains why the MSI Wind is the only computer bundled to with the Fonera 2.0 WiFi router comparing the Wind to an ASUS Eee PC, an Acer Aspire 4710, and Apple's MacBook Air.

In the video two ASUS Eee PC 900 netbooks are first booted, then Firefox is launched, and finally they are shutdown. One has been running Xandros Linux and the other Windows XP for one month each.
The LinuxEee boots faster and is shutdown quite some time before the XPEee. There is no hint what additional software packages are installed on the two machines and which of them are automatically started.

In this video 3 Intel Atom powered netbooks are compared based on dimensions and keyboards: MSI Wind, ASUS Eee PC 901 and Acer Aspire One. The MSI Wind has a 10" screen whereas Acer Aspire One and ASUS Eee 901 have 8.9" screens. Still the MSI is only slightly wider and thicker than the other 2 netbooks.
The keyboards of MSI Wind and Acer Aspire One are nearly the same size. The ASUS keys are significantly smaller. MSI Wind is the only of these 3 notebooks that has full-sized enter and backspace keys.
