Pros:
- Small and light - very reliable - Well built with all the functions in place - Good quality screen and good sound -Cheap - Big hard drive
Cons:
- A little slow at times but that's to be expected due to the Atom processor
Overall:
My wife has one of these and we both love it. Almost 1 year now and we never had any dramas with it. IT is so small and portable plus it has everything a normal laptop has, including a regular size keyboard and a high resolution screen with build in webcam. It's great, most functions you can control from the keyboard, such as contrast and screen brightness. Great wireless also.

Pros:
Small, light, functional
Cons:
Standard battery life, a little slow at times
Overall:
I have the MSI Wind U100 model, the first version of it (now there's the U100+ which has upgraded WiFi and processor).
As a portable laptop, the 10" screen works well. The bigger the better for the eyes of course, but the sacrifice for portability is well worth it sometimes.
The new BIOs update gives it the ability to overclock itself with up to 24% more performance and I have found this to work quite close to that benchmark they have made. I find myself always using this option as I use the MSI Wind now just for the extra bit of juice since I always have the laptop plugged into the charger. Overclock only works with the charger in also which is convenient if you forget to turn it off.
Battery life is pretty standard with nothing special, which was a disappointment. And this is standard with 6 cell rather than the basic 3.
Other than that, great laptop though for quick updates, uploads, and quick work for whatever you need. My only gripe is the Fn key is on the outside instead of the Ctrl key, which I'm used to having on the end; a quick fix from the custom BIOS fixed that though.
