i like the design of the msi winds but comparing them and the asus eee 100 he, i'd go for the eee. cheaper with the same or better specs unless msi is a better brand??

heres the thing, i really liked the asus Eee pc 1000 HE. Most of the specs are suitable for me.
but i'm worried that it may not be good enough....like some of the members said...fine for basic stuff.

basic for me is like opening firefox, mediamonkey , 3 Microsoft word windows and a .pdf file here and there.
msn messenger also.

can it handle that? or it'll just be freezing?

anything else like it (HP tablets) ..in size, wifi, ethernet and space is over my budget.

Yoiu are not going to get 14 inches on a netbook. You will have to go for a notebook.

i know but since most ppl werent for the 'netbook' so i assume recommendations are for the notebook so if its the notebook around 14 inches

Hey I haven't checked for laptops yet but here's a deal I found online. 100+ for an Eee

Mwave.com - ASUS EEEPC900A-WFBB01 Eee PC 900A white netbook intel Atom cpu/1gb/4gb SSD hdd/8.9" wsvga/4 cell battery/802.11bg wireless/Linux (refurbished product w/3 month warranty)

I get the same deals with safer sites like amazon and newegg

I understand your concern but well I got this link from Gizmodo.com. Not sure if you've heard of them but they're pretty reliable. Here's the original gizmodo page link.
