    While I was browsing the net search for the Asus EEE notebook I came across this MSI notebook. The specs are great for a mobile person like myself and cheap ($970+tax CAD). I can't find any reviews about this notebook. I don't know too much about MSI except from the sticky note in this thread and Wikipedia.

    I have a few question for MSI owners/previous owners:
    1) Are you satisfied with your current MSI notebook?
    2) How is the quality of an MSI notebook?
    3) How is the support and warranty service and is good/poor/mediocre (it says they'll give you a second year upon registration...where do you register?)?
    4) The system below has 1GB of memory. Can you upgrade the memory yourself or will it void the warranty? Does MSI have a Void seal on their notebooks?
