The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management.

 Best in it's catagory June 3, 2010
Amy Brown
I love this net-book. I researched many and what makes this one unique is the internal hard drive. This feature makes it more of a small laptop in my opinion. It is a fast little machine and does all the hard work a computer twice it's size can handle.
Great for a low-cost 2nd or 3rd computer! January 8, 2010

This is my favorite small-factor computer to date. I have used several netbooks, and am thrilled with my purchase of the Sylvania Magni G Elite!
The Pros:
*Keyboard is small, but provides good tactile feedback, and has the arrow keys and shift keys in the right places
*Upgradable memory to 2GB (an absolute necessity, thankfully the memory is cheap)
*Good quality webcam
*Bright non-glossy screen that doesn't show smudges
The Cons:
*Sentelic touchpads (included in most models) are terrible - there were no drivers for side scroll before, so I replace it with a synaptics touchpad. (Online instructions can be found - fairly straight forward, but not for the faint of heart). Oh, and it probably voids any warranty
*Function key is in the wrong place - so many other places would have worked, not sure why they got this wrong
*Expected better battery life - fortunately the power adapter is pretty light-weight
I knew purchasing this, that I merely wanted it to take with me to meetings rather than a bulkier full-sized laptop. I use online apps (Google docs, Outlook Web Access, etc) with it exclusively - how netbooks were intended to be used. And expected to upgrade the touchpad and memory at the time of purchase, so those were not big surprises. Couldn't be happier with this choice!
Great Value Netbook! December 30, 2009

As other reviews here have stated, this is a re-branded MSI Wind U100 netbook. I have opened the netbook and even compared the internals to posted picture of the internals of the MSI Wind U100.
I also bought the additional 1GB of RAM and installed it myself.
This was a Mothers Day present for my wife and it has been just what she was looking for. She uses it for Internet, email, letters, and online cookbooks mostly.
It has worked great with the exception of a problem with the touchpad. After installing some Microsoft Updates the touchpad stopped working correctly. After trying upgrading and downgrading Synaptics drivers and several other things, I found that this netbook has a Sentelic touchpad and not a Synaptics touchpad. So I un-installed the Synaptics software and rebooted, when Windows XP loaded again, it installed a generic Microsoft driver for the touchpad. I rebooted the netbook again and it has worked fine ever since.
I would rate this netbook 5 stars, if it hadn't been for the hours I spent trying to figure out the touchpad problem.
Can't believe more people don't know about this one! November 26, 2009

First of all, I spent a significant amount of time researching just about every manufacturer and type of netbook available prior to this purchase.
The Sylvania is simply the best deal out there when you make any comparison, and it works beautifully. It feels solid and well built. Probably because it is the exact machine as the MSI Wind U100, only 100 dollars less. I bought this from Amazon for 249.99.
Here's the breakdown:
10 inch screen
1GB memory expandable to 2G
160GB HD
Windows XP
3 USB ports
multicard reader
6 cell battery (and yes, I get over 6 hours with heavy internet surfing and video)
Lastly, there is a 3 year warranty - unheard of among any manufacturer!!!!
Nothing out there compares, even with any Black Friday specials.

Bought this laptop about 3 months ago. out of the package the screen had a slight dark fade in one spot as if someone had pressed the back of it with their finger, (the casing is flimsy on top of the screen anyway, so be careful). figured it was minor and didnt need immediate attention. Upgraded the OS to windows vista, it didnt recognise the webcam and had no driver support for it. Used it for work on the go, last week the screen went out completely. Have looked for parts all over and there are none unless you send it directly to sylvania under warranty, which I can not do because I need it in time for my job. Spend your money on a better brand.
