    I am debating getting a U210 or an Asus. Is the U210 with Vista and 2GB of memory powerful enough for watching Mp4 encoded movies or DVd movies?

    Perhaps just as important, does it have Bluetooth?

    Is the build quality good? Does the lid wiggle or does it stay closed?

    Does the keyboard flex when typing?

    Please answer ASAP! There are no reviews for this notebook that I can find, and I really want to know if it is good or not.

    Thanks!

    MSI U210's MV40/x1250 cpu/gpu combo is slower than a similar priced Acer 1410's SU3500/X4500 and is less power efficient as well.
