MSI is developing itself a proud history of netbook computers, but whilst the Taiwanese manufacturer’s original 2008 foray – the Wind U100 – took the concept of cheap and cheerful all too literally, its 2010 successors hope to introduce an added sense of sophistication.
Take for example the MSI Wind U160, a modern netbook that aesthetically, at least, doesn’t reflect a relatively paltry 330 asking price.
First unveiled at January’s Consumer Electronics Show, the system abandons the Wind’s traditional clamshell design in favour of something more sleek and refined.
Measuring under 20mm at its thickest point, it’s MSI’s thinnest-ever netbook and our review sample – equipped with a useful six-cell battery – weighs just 1.2kg, making it small, ultra-thin, ultra-light and suitably portable in every sense.Design
