I just got an MSI Wind U100, and am almost impossibly impressed with it. I’m a pretty good typist, somewhere in the 90 WPM range, and I have had little problem adjusting to the keyboard. The only things I’m having a bit of an issue with are that the left shift key is smaller than standard, and there’s a key that is too close to the period key, so I sometimes get a double key combination when I really am just trying to type a period.

I’m slowly assembling the pieces to create a truly portable Hackintosh. I’ve got the wireless card on order, as well as the 2GB stick of memory, replacing the built-in 1GB. This allows for more stable overclocking of the 1.6 GHz Atom processor. I have yet to decide if I’ll dual boot between OSX and XP, or just dive on in to OSX.

As far as out of the box performance, the unit is no slouch. No one will ever confuse it with a Core 2 Duo, but considering I’ve been on battery for 2.5 hours and am at 50 percent of battery remaining, I have no complaints.
