Yeah, You're right there
I've used electrical tape as a type of cable management it does actually work perfectly! Hmm, Yeah, I've only just realised what you're on about.. I really really REALLY hate it when you're on a computer and there's a light-source behind you and it reflects of your screen and you can barely see stuff, especially if you're on battery power and the brightness isn't at it's highest >
I don't really understand you much about the FN problem, maybe that's because I've never actually used a laptop for long enough to use the FN key, but don't really think that'll bother me because I'll either get used to it or just buy a cheap external keyboard :')
2kg is a nice weight for a laptop, At Currys they've got all these new 17" lappies and they're like 4/5kg.. I think at that type of weight they stop becoming a laptop and more of a annoyance :')
4:30?! With all that enabled? Man, turn off your wallhack
I guess you could probably get 5/6+ hours with wifi/bluetooth disabled?
Oooh, I though SSDs were the way forward, but, now that I come to think about it, it actually make sense..
Well, I hope i don't encounter any hard drive problems like your uncle because that'd be well annoying :')
But was that because he abused(you know what i mean) it?
Hmm, I was reading the Independent (an English Tabloid newspaper) and in there was an article about netbooks(or as i keep reading on here, sublaptops) and it ranked 1-10 netbooks.. If i remember correctly the Acer Aspire (something) was number 1 and the MSI wind was at number 10.
But, I think I'm just going to go with the MSI Wind/Advent 4211 purely for the fact It'll be my first laptop, It's quite inexpensive (when you compare it to other laptops), and it's got everything I need.
Although If I go to get the Wind/4211 and they're not instock, I guess I'll just have to settle for the 1000H ( I hate waiting

I can't tell you how many times I used it and wanted to hit Ctrl-L (to select address bar in Firefox), but I thought my finger was on Fn so I moved it one to the right and kept hitting the Windows key. Big annoyance. Since then, all my laptops must have Ctrl in the correct place. It's more problems using a standard keyboard v. laptop keyboard v. bad laptop keyboard. I am used to Fn being right of Ctrl on laptops. Also the 1000_ series are a good bit heavier than the 900 series. My 900 weighs 990g, coming in at a cozy 2.2lb or so. There is really no weight in it--it's so small it fits into any backpack, and carrying it around in my backpack in the airport was easy. I almost lost the laptop in the bag! And my bag is small.
