MSI U160 review

The MSI U160 includes a 10-inch LED display and has 1024x600 resolution. It comes with atom n450 processor and MSI is bundling Windows 7 Starter with it.

The latest 2 Mints are both from Ubuntu 13.04, but like other 'buntus, I easily updated them to the latest kernel: 3.9.4. That removes an objections about Ubuntu Linux specialized kernels.

My one gripe against Cinnamon comes from Gnome3. It has an impossible to remove bar, either at the top or bottom of the screen. So I prefer the Gnome2-work-alike, MATE - with its left (or right) sided bar, which can be intelli-hidden, if wished.

Perhaps the Gnome3 lovers are old Chinese, reading tabloid newspapers in narrow vertical columns, and having their words in vertical column, instead of horizontal lines. I can only read-write in English, so either I have a portrait screen in front on me, or a Unity-type task bar on my left side, but intelli-hidden.msiu160

Viliv S10 Blade reviewed

One of the S10's features that makes the device (and its category-crushing battery life) even more useful is its 4-second wakeup-from-standby under Windows 7. Need to take a quick note or show a webpage during your meeting? Pop open the S10 and you are working straight away. And with such fast wakeup, you won't hesitate to put the S10 back into standby-making the effective use time of one charge even longer.
