Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good enough for the task

 

I didn't look at the included hard drive to see what was on it, so I'll assume that the install experience would have had drivers for the wireless. I only gave it 4 out of 5 because I would have preferred a chance to buy this without the memory or the...

Small, inexpensive, quiet and fast enough for everything except gaming and playing videos. It seems well built and the hardware works exactly as you'd expect

It would have been nicer as a barebone. I didn't want the 160G hard drive (put in an SSD instead) and I didn't need to pay for a copy of Windows. It doesn't come with drivers for the wireless Atheros network card on the CD - you have to download them...

Nice and Simple

 

This one came with the built in Wi-Fi although MSI states optional and NewEgg doesn't specify. I was happy it did and it connected quickly using WPA. Although I had to use the Windows networking panel instead of the accompanying wireless software to...

Windows XP, which runs fine on 1GB. No Unnecessary software. Quiet and small. Great if you already have money invested in a monitor and/or keyboard/mouse

MSI =Great netbooks

 

I have bought two of these and two A**S 333pcs. These MSI boxes run circles around the eeeps, especially on video. Wish I could figure out why. Same intel bits inside...

Simple & Great

 

What a nifty little XP machine! Very stable, easy to setup. Great for simple tasks like web-browsing, viewing pictures, and I dare say some limited gaming. MSi includes a recovery CD which is a nice touch. Not sure how much use I would get from the...

Compact, Quiet, Fast, No Bloatware, Cheap

Drive partitions: 40GB on C:, remainder on D ; Only 1 memory slot

Does the job

 

Its a good little machine. I bought it to replace my moms aging duron machine. She is very happy with it especially since its so small & makes no noise.

Small size and quiet. Runs good right out of the box. Doesnt come with very much preinstalled crapware ; Plenty performance for day-to-day stuff like browsing media playback, or office stuff

Low performance, but what do you want from a small form-factor low power machine ; Not enough performance for the latest video games

Great little Computer

 

For the money this computer is hard to beat. CPU is medium speed and the Hard drive has plenty of space

Low fan noise. 1.6GHertz is fast enough for most tasks. It also includes a DVD burner. No Bloatware

Memory spec is wrong, it actually has 1 GB of ram

Anitvirus software blocks internet connection

 

Machine works fine and runs quietly

Tried to uninstall the antivirus & firewall software that came with it. Only able to partially uninstall - with the result that the firewall remained turned on. Further uninstall was not possible. Had to go into registry to remove manually. Now it...

10 Stars

 

If I had the coin, I'd buy a few more of them just to have around. Open the box and plug everything in, and your off to the net.

What a great buy this tower is. This is a great internet computer. No it's not a gamer system. Nice sized HD, decent speed, great for surfing the net and looking at pics

Some junk loaded on it, but not too bad though. 3 months of norton protection only, and a 60 day MS Office trial once you activate it. No DVD burner, CD only with DVD read
