    Just seen the 'new' (!) netbook in PC World.Seriously how stupid do these people think we are ...The new one is 399 vs 379 euro and it has a SMALLER screen(with a horrid large plastic bezel/surround) 8.9" vs 10 and noticeably inferior webcam .If you use webcam a lot you need to REALLY do your homework on 4211/MSI Winds ,same with the touchpads,the later versions have inferior examples of both .Still seems to be the best of the netbooks to me although the Samsung NC10(?) may be 'new best'.Id love a 'gamers' ASUS N10 but the price is astronomical (600ish)for a netbook...

    The 4212 has a 6 cell battery whereas the 4211 has a 3 cell battery. Couple the bigger battery with the smaller screen and it will give much better battery life than the 4211. That's probably the main advantage of it.

    The keyboard on the 4212 is naff, absolutely an awful thing to type with. Whereas the 4211 has a lovely keyboard for a netbook. A colleague of mine has it set up with 2GB of RAM, wireless N (with the 3rd antenna installed), and a 320GB HDD. Perfect little baby.

    Ah right didnt know about the bigger battery I guess that balances it out ...Whats the story with a 'third aerial' for wireless 'draft'(?)N .I got a 'better' Intel wireless card for the misus' 4211 but it didnt seem much better than the stock one.The 2GB RAM is nice for multitasking and intensive applications even if it makes little difference in benchmarks like SuperPi
