I found this open box deal for the MSI wind on newegg, 14 hours of battery life, it has a slightly lower processor then the acer, my question to you guys, regarding build quality etcc which one of these laptops should i get, I really like the fact that the msi wind comes with a 9 cell but the acer also looks nice. Which one would you guys pick?

I don't know much about netbooks, but I do know about Acer. There support for anything is terrible! No windows 7 support for my laptop, no 64-bit support. But I digress, I have heard great things about the MSIs and it does have better battery life. Overall I would go with the MSI

I have MSI U210, I like the MSI over the Acer. I think the keyboard on the MSI has better layout, feel to it.

I looked at the Acer when shopping for notebooks and I really did not care for the keyboard at all. It seemed odd and tiny, even though the computer is roughly the same size as the other models.
