Though not quite as accomplished as the HP Mini-Note, the keyboard on the Wind is nonetheless very good and a definite improvement over the Eee PC. Keys have a nice crisp response to them and most of the important elements of the layout are very good, though the Fn seems to have been directed to an incorrect location!



If you look closely at each bottom corner you'll see the two integrated speakers. They're not really up to much but then we weren't expecting anything special and these will do just fine for Windows' various chimes. Meanwhile, the battery you see at the back is the standard 3-cell that'll ship with the machine, though there's a 6-cell available separately as well.



Status lights for pretty much everything are on the front edge. Here you can also see the Page Up/Down, Home and End keys have been mapped to the cursor keys, which themselves are quite intelligently placed and shouldn't get in the way.



There's a 1.3 Megapixel, with its own microphone, set into the bezel. Here you can also see the new MSI logo that'll be seen on all its new notebooks.
