$65 restocking fee. That's Amazon's charge.
DON'T BUY IT AT AMAZON. Amazon not only charge me $8 shipping cost for returning, but also CHARGE ME $65.50 RESTOCKING FEE(15% from original price). $65 IS A LOT OF MONEY. I didn't know it otherwise I would never bought it at Amazon. As far as I know, other online computer sellers would not charge you such a high restocking fee.
I bought a laptop at a local Staples, they accepted the computer and refunded me full money for a computer of the same price.
I would never buy any electro .... Read more

Nice unit except for LOUSY DISPLAY
I bought one of these units after reading all sorts of glowing reviews from various magazines and amazon reviewers. My only conclusion is that these people either got a different unit than the one I received (actually two since I returned it and the vendor shipped me another to try which was exactly the same) or they are clueless twits. The unit seemed nicely constructed and the keyboard seemed fine to me. I loved the size and weight, and the 2-3 hour 3-cell battery was fine. I was mystified by .... Read more

A great value
This is a great little machine. Keyboard is fine for anyone with any dexterity skills at all. The battery is only adequate and I am buying a 6 cell. In the end I will have spent the difference between the one I got and the same model with a larger battery but I will have two batteries. The 1GB memory is ok. Upgrading in the field apparently voids the warranty so that's a poor move. The three USB ports and the large hard drive are important pluses. Poor documentation is a real complaint. .... Read more

Impressive, provided you have the right expectations. :)
The MSI Wind may be one of the best technology purchases I've made. As long as you calibrate your expectations to the product's intended purpose, you won't be disappointed! I've owned a lot of notebook PC's (and a few MacBooks) and this may be the best notebook I've had. It's certainly not the fastest or the most ergonomic, but the performance and features you get for the price can't be beat. I use this notebook for IT consulting work in which portability and convenience are key, and this little .... Read more
