Advent 4211 Netbook

 

It looks like the MSI Wind but it's called the Advent 4211. Does a price cut make it worth recommending?

If you want the cheapest 10in netbook out there, then the Advent 4211 is not difficult to recommend. You're basically getting an MSI Wind for less money, though also with half the warranty (one year instead of two). The Asus Eee PC 1000H offers far...

Advent 4211c review

 

A great netbook, but cheaper and more powerful alternatives can be found

10.2 inch screen ; Large keyboard

Limited graphics ; Not very good for multi-tasking

A decent sized screen and reasonable performance make this a desirable netbook but its not without its flaws

Advent 4211 Netbook review

 

PC World's first netbook hits the high street and it's one of the best we've seen

Great keyboard ; Stunning screen ; Plenty of storage

3-Cell battery ; Tiny touchpad ; No screen latch

Advent 4211 notebook

 

Since the news a few weeks ago that PC World was to launch a version of the MSI Wind under the Advent brand, the Internet has full of discussion about the new kid on the block. So what's the score? We got out hands on the Advent 4211 for a play. The...

Price, good screen, usable keyboard, good overall design

No 3G option, battery life

The Advent 4211 is a great little computer and runs very well. We have used both the Advent and the Wind and there is nothing to tell them apart aside from a more competitive price. The packaging, aside from the exterior branding is also all the same,...

Advent 4211c review

 

Advent's 4211c is almost identical to MSI's Wind U100, except it has an understated matt black and grey case instead of the Wind's glossy black. The other major difference is price: the 4211 costs £36 less than the Wind.

Advent 4211 review

 

If you've seen the MSI Wind, you may have been attracted by that mini laptop's clean lines, compact form and attractive price. At £329, it's one of the prominent members of that newly formed club, whose members are defined by their small size and...

If you like the look of the MSI Wind, you’ll love the idea of finding something practically the same for £50 less. But some buyers may be tempted by the MSI’s two-year warranty, monochromatic colour scheme and included carry case. The crucial thing is,...

Advent 4211

 

Advent 4211 is a mini notebook or laptop. It has 1024 x 200 resolution and makes use of an Intel Atom N270 processor which is running on 1.6 GHz. This ultra mobile pc has a 1GB RAM and weighs about 1.15 kg. It is very handy and suitable for people on...

As long as you don’t go thinking this will replace your laptop, you’ll be happy with the 4211. It’s the cheapest 10-inch Netbook on the market but still packs in all the features we’ve come to expect from these tiny sub-notebooks. Advent 4211 is tagged...

Advent 4211 mini notebook

 

This rating reflects the version with the Synaptics touchpad. We'd give it a lot less if it had the Sentelic pad.

If you like your Small, Cheap Computers to be not too small, the Advent 4211, with its 10.1in display, will appeal. So will its price, which puts it well ahead of the similarly sized competition. But watch out for that touchpad, OK?

Advent 4211

 

Is it just an MSI Wind with a coat of paint and a slashed price? Sasha Muller certainly thinks so, and that's no bad thing.
