The "Wind" range is the latest ultra-portable laptop design from MSI. Weighing just 1kg and only 19mm thick it’s the perfect mobile PC for the road.
Armed with the Intel Atom processor it make light work of your everyday tasks providing performance that you might expect from fully fledged laptops.
What’s more, the 80GB Hard Drive gives you enough room for your important files and plenty more besides. So, if you want to store your music and photos too … no problem.
Two stand out features of this solidly-built little machine are the vibrant 10" display and the excellent keyboard. The screen has impressive viewing angles, and is perfectly clear in bright daylight, while the keyboard is one of the best you can get on a notebook of this size. There is also an "underclock" feature which can be activated to give extended battery life.
On top of all this you also get additional features that you’d normally struggle to find on such a lightweight model. The HD stereo speakers provide amazing sound quality. While the integrated webcam makes keeping in touch with your friends quick and easy wherever you are.
Pc Pro summarised the Wind as;
"the breath of fresh air we’d hoped for all along. It looks good, feels good and its ergonomics are by far the best of the mini-laptop bunch. For less than a quarter of the Sony VGN-TZ31’s cost, you simply cannot buy a better ultraportable."
With all this at such a fantastic price, it’s no mystery why the Wind comes so highly recommended.
