It can be expanded to a maximum of 2 GB. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed. p bDVD/CD Drive/bbr Because of its size, the Wind U100 does not come with an integrated optical drive, but optional CD/DVD read/write drives can be connected to the laptop via one of the three USB ports, enabling you to create your music mixes, burn movies to DVD, and more. p bNetworking, Connectivity Expansion/bbr This notebook can be wirelessly networked with the integrated Draft-N Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g/n).

 Great mini notebook! January 9, 2009
I am very happy with my MSI Wind. Great size, so easy to port around. Everything about it seems substantial, like a regular-sized notebook, but it is SO much lighter. br /br /I tried an Acer in the store, and it is a little smaller. The keyboard was cramped and it seemed like a toy. This keyboard is very comfortable. I read some complaints about the touchpad, but it seems ok to me. I'm not a big fan of touchpads, so I bought a small wireless mouse.br /br /Have not tried the camera. Wireless connection is easy to use. Today I transferred a picture to my phone using just Bluetooth. Complicated to set up the first time, but it worked just fine.br /br /Speakers are poor. If you want to listen to music or watch a movie, you'll pretty much have to attach earphones. I'm so glad this one has a large hard drive and it's fast. Quite a bit faster than my desktop which is from 2004.br /br /BE SURE TO GET THE 6 CELL BATTERY! For what, $50 more you get the bigger battery and larger HD. I did a lot of research and am pleased with my choice. I highly recommend this laptop--good quality and good value!

Great product, great price.br /Unfortunately the first one had a defective touchpad, but it's been replaced right away at their cost.br /The fan could get a bit noisy but other than that it works just fine.br /I've added an extra gigabyte of RAM and installed/tested Windows XP, Vista 32bit and Linux Debian. No drivers problems.br /It's not a gaming machine, but it does fine for any other application.br /

This is an excellent product. I have 5 hours of use on the 6 cell battery before I have to charge it. It is very fast and is great for my needs. The size of the keyboard is very easy to use and I love the portability of it.

Product was delivered prompt. The touchpad has a "tap to click" feature that could not be disabled. Contacted MSI and was told that it could not be changed. Searched the web and found a driver that would let you change the settings of the touchpad. Other than that feature I would buy it again ,GREAT NETBOOK
