Guess ill have to go get the Advent now :( Looks nicer (Read: Less like a mac) than the MSI too me thinks.

theres a 5% discount code for home delivery "YAWJULY08"
and 5 % quidco
Brings it to somewhere around £260 delivered by my reckoning

I'm gonna have one of these when the battery capacity is sorted out :)

looks good but as with any pc-chips product I always wonder what part is non-real. !

ECS already got some contracts with european mobile operators, cuz G10IL supports 3G, it should hit the store next month.

The main G10IL advanteage for me is ntegrated 3G and option with SSD drive, wich MSI Wind doesn't have. :)

What would bit-tech suggest be in our no. 1 spot? Or should it be left blank in hopes of the future?

PS I ordered my Wind this afternoon.

Ordered mine two weeks ago, DHL signed it off to a random person in the street. It's taken this long for them to admit that it's been stolen, to have the distributors file a claim against them and re-issue the order. Only now the distributor is out of stock.

Sorry to hear that, thats a total letdown.

lol and I thought I was bummed when I slept through Purolator banging on my door at 1 in the afternoon!

I went for the Advent and have been very impressed with it so far - speedy little system running XP Home.

For those who like to tinker, I found it extreemely easy to upgrade the RAM and HDD and was pleased to see there was no warranty sticker to break through like on the Wind.

Just waiting for the 6 cell battery to hit the shops and I'll be an even happier man.

Also wondering if anyone has put Vista on it yet and if anyone knows of any decent carry cases / sleeves.

Thanks all.
