MSI U120H: What is that and is it better than the msi u120?

That would be the U123G or U123H (I've seen it called one thing in early reviews and another in later reviews; not to be confused with the U123T which has a digital TV tuner). The U123 basic model was released in the US last week, although it's not in wide release (I only know of 3 places that have it, and Amazon isn't one of them). The U123G/H hasn't been released anywhere yet, probably end of May in Asia and a month later or so in the US.

well it's not apples to apples when it comes to air vs water anadtech says the h80i takes the lead http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/937?vs=915 but what really made me buy a dual tower instead of an h80i or h100i was simplicity, at the end of the day i can run my cpu at 4.5Ghz stable (55 C max temp, and yes i know amd temp probes are crazy but it's what i have on hand) all the time (fx-8150 which is like a room heater, trust me i know), and i don't have to worry about pumps, leaks or cleaning the rad.... you just blow the thing with a hair dryer or something and done... but like i said and anandtech benched the h80i is superior but only because it's water vs air (water takes longer/more time/energy to change temperature than air)

Yes, overclocks great;update BIOS version if possible,always best to have latest drivers.

Grrr... I bought the MSI Wind U120-020 US with the extra 1 G RAM - because the site said "upgradeable to 2 G". I just finished opening it up and in the process voiding my warrantee only to find NO RAM SLOT. So I came back here to look for more technical info and here is this thread. There is definitely NO RAM SLOT AVAILABLE so keep that in mind when buying.

I see the specs in other answers here, and while not impressive for a desktop this does perform very well when compared apples to apples. I replaced a defective atom-based mobo+cpu with this one after reading many favorable reviews about performance visa-vi the atom with a higher CPU clock speed. Paired with an SSD, this little WIndows-7 based system became a noticeable upgrade for my client, who needed a repair on a small form-factor PC for basic e-mail and internet home use. - Mark, The IT Guy San Diego

What's your motherboard model ( if unknown, what's the model of the commuter)

The new one comes with Allwinner 1.2Ghz. I heard it is better the PIPO MAX M6, because the Cotex A9 Quad Core 1.6GHz is better than Allwinner.

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.

Yeah there are two HUGE differences. The UL80VT has DDR3 Ram, whereas the UL80AG uses DDR2. DDR3 is faster but more importantly, it runs cooler than DDR2. That will help battery life and internal temperatures of the laptop. DDR3 in general is more expensive than DDR2 Ram. Secondly, the UL80VT has switchable graphics. There's the integrated graphics card, and then it also comes with a Nvidia g210M dedicated card. You can switch on the fly to whatever card suits your needs, if you prefer a real graphics card you have that option, or if you want to save battery life, that is also available. The UL80AG does not include that dedicated graphics card. It only has the integrated Intel 4500HD card. In terms of price, the UL80VT is priced accordingly. Better Ram and extra graphics card = the approx. $100 price difference. Hope that helps!

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.

I am finding models 1005-HA-P, 1005HA-V and 1005HA-B. anyone know the difference? The Asus website doesn't separate them out..

I think he means that it would perform better due to increase in cpu speed.Anyways, I bought the ul30vt, couldn't pass on the 699 price for this computer.WOW runs nice and smooth and maintains 30-50 fps in 10 man raids such as ICC, and a little less in 25 man raids with settings all set to high.It even runs games with very high shader requirements such as TF2 without a hitch.Fantastic notebook for those looking to do work, but still be able to enjoy multimedia such as hd video and gaming.

The A10-5800k was the flagship FM2 socket APU for the Trinity series chips. The 6700 and 6800K are newer versions called Richland. They had better stock performance than their Trinity counterpart and operate in the same FM2/FM2+ socket motherboards. Please note the 6700k is a locked multiplier and cannot be overclocked as easily as the others listed. It also has a lower tdp. (65watts vs. 100watts). The 7850k is the newest and most powerful AMD APU. It is a completely new architecture called Kaveri. The base clock is a bit slower but performance is much higher than the Richland and Trinity apus due to improvements in the chips design. They require a FM2+ motherboard and will not work with a FM2 only board. Each generation; trinity, Richland, then Kaveri, also got more stream processors than the previous on the gpu end. Each with higher graphics performance. If your motherboard allows it, go for the 7850k hands down. If you're on a tight budget and still need a motherboard, definitely get a FM2+ board even if you go with an older lower priced fm2 apu so you'll have the option to upgrade at a later date.

damn, i'd like to know this too. specifically, which one runs quieter and cooler? and furthermore, which one is more reliable?

:) As long as you are not doing major gaming or video editing you will be fine. I am curious about the inability to add ram on the U120's though. That seems like a stupid move considering the U100's were great for their flexibility, eg. Various upgrade options including ram, ability to run windows 7, OSx86, and various others. Is this confirmed or just rumor? I was about to buy one but that is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

The cooling on the msi is far superior. It runs nice and cool with its factory oc. I also have the gigabyte windforce and had the nvidia version and this card was the coolest, while being the quietest. Also, MSI has has great software for managing the fans and osd. Get the MSI. That's my opinion from experience.

It is better, unless you specifically need to overclock. I get the feeling that the added threads are more useful than a couple ghz, but it depends on what you want to do, and how much price matters to you.
