MSI U120 Vs U100: Does anyone know the difference between the MSI U120-024US and the MSI U100-432US ?

In the MSI website, the weight of u100 and u120 (both 6-cell) seem to be different. u100 is 2.6 lb and u120 is 2.3 lb. But no vendor has put emphasis on this difference so I don't know is it really lighter than the 6-cell u100. I bought u120 in the end and are pretty happy about it. If the weight difference is true, then I'll probably get a 9-cell battery for my u120 to make it work whole day long. It will ultimately make the 9-cell u120 same weight as 6-cell u100.

thanks for the link, also about to purchase Ul20a with the memory you recommended, just wondering if its the same timings and specs than the one that comes inside.

Everything I've read says you can't upgrade the RAM on the U120. I had just ordered it and haven't received it yet. I hope I won't regret not being able to add RAM. I researched as much as my mind could handle when I ordered this. I liked the light weight and the decent screen size and the brightness. It's all very confusing. Now there is a U120H. I don't know what the H has and why it's different. Better connectivity I've been told. Anyone know what this means? I don't want to have buyer's remorse. Sigh...it's all too much!

Dante,Thank you for the reply! Just FYI: I ended up with a Dell U3011 and a 5 year Dell warranty (direct from Dell). My Dell Workstation (Precision) has two monitors, so I might upgrade from the current 24" to the U2711, but not right away.

According to Sapphire's website for this SKU it IS in fact UEFI, in fact all their R9-290 products are listed as UEFI ready. I have the original NON-OC'd edition that has the very tiny slider switch on the top edge of the PCB. That being said all Sapphire cards are based on AMD reference designs, so all should have the BIOS switch (which by the way has nothing to do with UEFI, but rather fan speed and gpu timing. If you are worried about compatibility, you can find vga bios depositories that have the very latest bios roms that can be flashed (at your own risk). This particular sku is the latest version.

Hi Nancy As I first told you yes, it makes a little more than a month that I got my MSI 120 and it works perfect and I see that your bro got the same opinion than mine, so everything's cool. In life we all make mistakes but to make the best out of it is to learn from it the most things we can, like this it turns to be no more a mistake but a learning experience. But in that case you've done no mistake. Hear from you when you receive your MSI.

Sorry, I honestly don't know. I bought the computer as a gift for my boyfriend. He loves it but I'm not sure what the differences would be.

I would not get the H100i. The Corsair Link software is hideous and does not work properly. It's truly awful in Windows 8.

It does not appear to be listed as a supported CPU.http://us.msi.com/support/mb/FM2A75MAE35.html#support-cpu

They are the same model/chipset the only difference is the amount of video memory. GV-N760OC-4GD REV2.0 has twice as much memory.

The UB2B is a Intel core i3 3240 Dual Core and the UR3D is Intel Core i5 3330 Quad Core. The UB2D is 6gb ram and the UR3D is 8gb ram The Hard Drive on the UB2b is 5400 RPM speed and the Hard Drive in the UR3D is 7200 speed. It would make sense for the UB2B to be 100$ less. Its much more weaker than this PC.

so its not expandable? that sucks. I might call MSi just to double check, because i think thats an important factor in which one I choose....is it a big deal to you? did you notice they also had it listed in one spot as 160gb, and in another it said 120gb. I emailed them to see which for sure(though obviously everywhere else it says 160gb)...don't know why that happens.

I had the same issues with both the 750 FTW and 750 TI. I'll be picking up this card in the hopes that it works, as all the things I've read state that the 600-series doesn't suffer the same limitations. The HP Envy line ships with the 'Angelica 2' motherboard which isn't capable of running cards that were made to the UEFI 2.3.1 standard. If you've purchased this already and have it running, I'd love to see a reply from you. Otherwise I'll pick one of these up once my returns for the two 700-series cards are processed.

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

I don't believe there are any differences besides the clock speed. Everything seems identical (same chipset, RAM size/speed, disk model, wireless model, etc) and the only difference the i7-4510u has is an increased clock multiplier. I can say that 1.8 GHz base clock has proven more than enough for anything I need from this computer (read: educational Solidworks, light games/transcoding, productivity, 50+ tabs), and combined with the ssd and ample RAM, I doubt the difference would be significant unless you had heavy single-threaded workloads. It seems that this model has been marked down more because people rarely look at the clock speeds, and this is the cheapest i7 model (also the cheapest with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, my constraints); the market for the other one would be more professional.

I went for the dn1000 instead of the 810, because of the GUI. Other than that I really didnt see much of a difference in spec wise. My friend has the 810 and I will be receiving mine next week.

Hmm. Wasn't sure what to think of the MSI Wind. Any pointers to reviews/comparisons?
