I have an acer netbook and it's excellent. I also use the standard layout with the imbedded numberpad, and the acer it excellent.

I didn't care for it because you cannot use the number pad the way you can with most laptops unless you change all your hot keys around. I'm used to leaving Window-Eyes at the default hot key layout and just using the fn-key together with the embedded number pad of a laptop. However the msi wind has the number pad broken in that the behavior is different. In addition, the comma, period, and slash keys are too small for my fingers and I find myself making more typos than usual. So I gave mine to my wife who doesn't care about such things, *smile*.
