Function and F8 key will allow you to see your wireless connections!

Hi Philippe M!

Damn! I just got mine today. I hope I can prove you wrong. (crossing my fingers)
anyway, Where are you connected? to your own wireless network? have you tried connecting it to a wifi certified area? also, how much did you get your u230 for?

btw, this goes out to everyone, what abou the MSI wind u250? has anyone heard of it? How much does it cost?

I have been using the MSI Wind12 U230 for the past 3 months and have had dreadful problems with the wireless. It can take me up to 30 minutes before I am able to access a wireless network. I would not recommend buying it until MSI fix the problems as it is very frustrating.

I like the HD3200, Definetely more powerfull than Atom Graphics.

i got one. its cool. but the only problem is the wifi. its always droping. maybe it has something to do with the hardware itself. i did all the updates and install the latest version of the drivers, i also enable the device in the bios but still i cant gain access..

I am interested in the feel and usefulness of the buttons below the trackpad. Are they easy to use? The Toshiba 11.6″ competitor (the 1125) has a simply awful implementation of the buttons. For the Wind12, is the right click and left click process nice and smooth and easy? Thanks.

To answer the question about noise, yes it is quiet. When the fan comes on you can hear it yes, but it’s not overly loud at all.

Most netbook/notebook reviews (including this) unfortunately fail to say anything about noise levels which for me (and others) are much more important than batterylife, HD size or wifi.

A computer sitting right in front off you needs to be silent!

It makes me wonder if young(er) people of today all suffer from bad hearing (due to MP3 players?) since both me, my wife and many many others prefer silence rather than noise.

Please consider adding such info to this (and other) reviews, thanks!

Nice review. I recently picked up a Toshiba T115D with similar specs. Having gone through several 10.1 inch netbooks in the past and 12.1 ultraportables, I have to say I’m quite the fan of these dual core AMD with ATI HD3200 machines.

Again..nice review.
