    Hi,
    I just wanted to get some opinions on the 2 available versions of the MSI Winds. Is $130 price difference worth it for the extras?

    $430
    6-cell battery, bluetooth, 802.11abgn, 160GB HD

    $300
    3-cell battery, no bluetooth, 802.11abg, 120GB HD

    Thanks for your opinions.

    Depends. 3 cell offers only 2 hours of battery life, which I think defeats the purpose of a netbook.
