I have a MSI Wind, model U123, and I'm quite happy with it. It's not totally top-of-the-line or anything, but thus far it's done everything I want it to quite nicely, the battery life is good, it's nice and compact, and seems just generally well-behaved.
Also, not sure if this is relevant to your needs, but installing Ubuntu Linux (specifically the Netbook Remix of it) on it was totally easy, once I figured out the trick of how to (a) make a bootable USB drive from the Windows side (it came with Windows XP), and (b) convince it to actually boot from said drive (which came down to timing). Ever since then, all has been good. I kept the original Windows install on a small partition, mainly for testing web sites in IE, but I use Ubuntu as my primary OS on the netbook.
