What we think: This is a less expensive version of the MSI Wind and that's a good thing. It's fast, it's portable and something we recommend highly

Review:

After using the ASUS eeepc 701 I grew to like the small form factor. The small screen and keyboard were usable but i wished they were bigger. The 4211 has a full size keyboard, and a screen size that is ideal for viewing the web and for watching video feeds and films. The lack of cd-rom drive is not really an issue as pc world do offer to install office and other apps for you(at a price) but I use openoffice as it is free and easy to download from the open office website. The 4211 does not get as hot as the ASUS and it is a little larger, but for me this is fine. I am a student and this tiny marvel does everything I need it to but i', sure it could do more if I needed it too. All round good machine that I would encourage anyone to invest in if they needed a second computer or a laptop.
