Reviews of the MSI PR210 (blue)

CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive; lengthy battery life; choice of case colors; TV tuner and HDMI port; two-year warranty.
The Bad: Underpowered AMD CPU limits performance; heavier than similar laptops; overly reflective screen.
The Bottom Line: The colorful, 12.1-inch MSI PR210 offers a decent feature set and great battery life, but at least one similar laptop costs less.
