Laptop Magazine Goes Hands On with the MSI Wind

The MSI Wind ultra-portable is now official and Laptop Magazine has given it the once over. In a posted review that gives it 4 and 1/2 stars out of five, Laptop Mag things that the MSI Wind is more than a worthy competitor to all of the other ultra-portables now competing for our attention. According to the review several things stand out.

• A full sized keyboard
• The 10 inch screen
• 5 plus hours of battery life
• Price point ($499 for the XP version, the Linux version will come in at $399)
• One touch overclocking

And some things not so positive:

• A single bar mouse button
• Below average wireless throughput
• Limited non-toll free tech support

We’ve been hearing about the Wind for quite some time now and this is the first hands on review we’ve seen. Now we’ll hopefully get a chance to see how this fares in the hands of users soon. Check out the full review and specs here.
