WindPad 110W-014US by Hooray-for-stuff (Aug, 2011)There is a internal fan to cool the CPU/GPU so it makes noise and limits ways you can hold the tablet.

Operating system
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 80% by by David-Albert--LogicalDave (Mar, 2012)The hardware is nice, but MSI's software makes your first experiences less than positive.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 80% by by David-Albert--LogicalDave (Mar, 2012)The software setup is obnoxious: MSI displays a dialog asking if you want to install their bloatware: Bing Bar and NuancePDF reader.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Hooray-for-stuff (Aug, 2011)The tablet is ridiculously ahead of its time and is actually waiting for software/companies to pop up to fully take advantage of all of its function.
Screen
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 80% by by David-Albert--LogicalDave (Mar, 2012)The only noticeable issue is that the screen is *very* reflective, however in my very brightly lit office, it is quite readable; the reflections are just a distraction.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Hans-Gruber (Sep, 2011)Its is extremely responsive to touch, I was expecting it to be a little bit sluggish, but is very comparable to a Motorola Xoom or a Galaxy S phone.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 80% by by um-what (Jan, 2012)MSI's O-Easy touch software sucks, it breaks the GPS driver.
Type
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Hooray-for-stuff (Aug, 2011)I can't believe I am actually waiting for Windows 8 to come out soon.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 80% by by um-what (Jan, 2012)The Windows 8 driver couldn't read the images from either webcam.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 80% by by um-what (Jan, 2012)I did have to load some drivers from the MSI website and revert the graphics driver to the MSI version from the one installed with Windows 8.
Battery
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 80% by by um-what (Jan, 2012)Battery life is only 4 to 6 hours depending on usage.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 20% by by Willny (Aug, 2011)No call came and 6 hours later I returned the Windpad to Amazon.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Russ-EngleWith a ~$140 Energizer XP18000 external battery, it's workable, but clumsy.
Data
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Hooray-for-stuff (Aug, 2011)Note for people planning on doing a fresh installation: Make sure that you have an usb hub.
MSI WindPad 110W-014US 32 GB | Rated 40% by by camar0 (Feb, 2012)working within XBMC with touchpad sometimes clearly was a bad idea, you need to have a usb keyboard and mouse handy or use the mouse on the side.
