MSI U210 12.1-inch Netbook

Final Thoughts

After all the testing and fiddling about with the U210, I really, really liked the machine. I have always thought that a 12-inch netbook really defeated the purpose of the netbook by adding more bulk to what was supposed to be a very portable class of machines.

In reality, the U210 with its extra 2-inches of screen and larger keyboard hardly feels larger than a typical netbook when carrying it around, but the extra screen and larger keyboard make the machine much more usable than my 10-inch Wind U100 netbook.

I can say with certainty that of all the netbooks I have reviewed, the U210 is the one I would prefer to carry in my laptop bag, especially considering the fact that its battery life is as good or better than most of the machines I have tested in the netbook class.
