MSI U120 Vs U100: Does anyone know the difference between the MSI U120-024US and the MSI U100-432US ?

In the MSI website, the weight of u100 and u120 (both 6-cell) seem to be different. u100 is 2.6 lb and u120 is 2.3 lb. But no vendor has put emphasis on this difference so I don't know is it really lighter than the 6-cell u100. I bought u120 in the end and are pretty happy about it. If the weight difference is true, then I'll probably get a 9-cell battery for my u120 to make it work whole day long. It will ultimately make the 9-cell u120 same weight as 6-cell u100.

No, you would need to update the BIOS. Go to the MSI site, look for this particular product, then look in the area for the product for Support (NOT the support listed at the top of the page) and then for compatibility. The BIOS update needed should be there. You can also look for Updates there as well.

Anyone have ideas? I'm looking at either the newer 810 or last year's 1000 as well. Specs looks similar.Thanks.

A cursory look at the specs looks the same to me, but to be honest I have not looked that closely at the 6411. They seem to have the same size hard drive, same amount of RAM, same size/weight/resolution. I'm not sure about the processor. They are both i5s though, so at the very least, they are out comparable speed and energy consumption.

Yep, that's only difference in the processor itself. The box it comes in has a slightly different design, however.

I considered both the NH-U12S and the h100i to cool an i7-4790k @ 4.7GHz. The difference on paper was 8-10 degrees, but the cost was another $40 for the water rig. My PC runs 24/7 and I have yet to see the CPU over 40C, whether gaming or doing digital forensic work on it. Other than being able to say "it's water-cooled." I really see no reason to spend the extra money. The NH-U12S does an excellent job cooling and runs very quietly, even on one fan.

I'm sure this is too late for the OP, but wanted to chime in if I may. From what I found/feel, the PA249Q is the true successor of the PA246Q. The most notable difference is that the 248 is not wide gamut, nor 10-bit capable. I'm sure the 248 is nice, as about everything from ASUS is. However to many professionals, this is likely a deal breaker.

Gottlieb, that's NOT what I said. I'm talking same feature set/performance, not price. The VSX 31 is equivalent to the 1020, not the 1120. You're comparing an apple to an orange.

The UB2B is a Intel core i3 3240 Dual Core and the UR3D is Intel Core i5 3330 Quad Core. The UB2D is 6gb ram and the UR3D is 8gb ram The Hard Drive on the UB2b is 5400 RPM speed and the Hard Drive in the UR3D is 7200 speed. It would make sense for the UB2B to be 100$ less. Its much more weaker than this PC.

hello,well to tell the truth I never knew there was a U485V or U485P mine only says U485...Sorry I couldn't be more of help!

Ok, thanks for all these infos, but I know nothing much about computers except to use them, so I bought a msi u120 because I need to use it for personal office work and web browsing as well as msn chat. I'd also like to install a genealogy program on it. Can anyone tell me if its power will be enough for that. Don't laugh, but I'm pretty lost and I didn't even receive the beast yet. probably sometimes next week. so any advice before I start it and its capacities will be welcome. Don't laugh again, it's the first time in years that I buy myself a computer and my first laptop too.

It's not unusual for Amazon to list incorrect specs for things like this. It is usual for NewEgg to do so. They also have 32-bit Windows listed. It's not that I don't believe Adam. I just wanted to verify.

they are different computers. almost the same. I think one has a better processor or ram speed. you should try googling it. If I try to explain the whole thing it would take forever. remember the higher number of processor speed and ram the better. good luck

Unless you pick it out at a retail store such as the Microsoft Store or Best Buy, you cannot be guaranteed the new CPU. However, in reality, there is no perceptible difference between the CPUs except on some arcane benchmarks. Real world use will show no difference. But I respect your desire for the "latest and greatest" and applaud you for asking this intelligent question.

Thanks Superhero Jonathan! So helpful. I guess I am watching to see when UL80VT comes back into stock here in the next 24-48 hours if the Asus rep is right.

I don't know the answer, but I have the same question. I also have the MSI Wind U100, but I seem to recall something about if the memory was upgraded, it negates the warranty on the machine. I'm trying to find an answer. If I find it, I'll post it back here.

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(
