The 10 Coolest Netbooks Of 2008

Micro-Star's Wind U100 Netbook

The U100 has a 10 inch, 1024x600 wide-screen display, utilizing an LED backlight. As with most of the newest netbooks, the U100 uses Intel's Atom processor to increase performance while reducing battery usage and heat. Relative to similar units, the keyboard on the Wind has largely spaced keys, which we found much easier to use than those on some of the smaller devices. With a street price in the vicinity of $650, the Wind U100 is priced a little on the steep side when you consider that a full-size, full-power laptop can be purchased for not much more. On the other hand, there is something nice about being able to do everything you need to on a computer that actually is the size of a notebook.
