Hopefully there will be a side by side comparison with reviewer's comments later. That would be the best.

Oddly enough, the Wind seems to be the one notebook not there

I believe it's listed as the Medion Akoya (rebadge)

What I'd really like to know is how good is this screen while being outside? If you could asnwer that or include it in the full review I'd be grateful.


Another chart with a very good comparison of all the netbooks available: link

2 bad about the dedicated turbo button being gone. now it'll only underclock.

the design sure changed fast.

I will try and make sure I grab a shot of the screen outside next to at least my thinkpad (if not another notebook) for the full review.

Great little system, but the wireless drivers are horrible. Can't get any linux distro to work, even rebuilt the drivers with a wiki and that failed.. Mandriva looked nice but could not find the ndiswrapper to work with it. So I like this computer, but want linux on it now

The shift keys on both sides should have been reduced in size by half and still been perfectly fine, and you wouldn't have to have 2/3 size symbol keys.

I don't agree. Eee keyboard sucks for the same reason (the right shift key). Acer Portable One's keyboard layout with lowered arrow keys and full right shift key is the perfect design.

You need a different wireless card for that. I read about it on a dutch forum. Intel seems to work well.

My request is that you guys see how Vista runs on there. I want to maybe get one of these for my wife, she wants a notebook and it would keep her off my PC. Cheap, cute, small, the wind is a perfect match. However ever since I put Vista on our PC she hates XP now and I dont think she would like to use XP on her notebook. I know somewhere they said the Wind will even run Vista, but some more detailed reviews of how well it runs it would be great.
