First Look: MSI Wind

Here we see one of the Wind's most important features. Can't you see it yet? No? That's because it's the F10 key. Nothing exciting about that, of course, however it activates a feature unique to the Wind: hardware over and under-clocking. This, at the touch of a button, will either overclock or underclock the CPU, providing you with extra performance or improved battery life. Indeed, it's something MSI seems particularly keen on and here we can see it becoming a very useful feature.

Here we can see the MSI Wind set against HP's Mini-Note. It's both taller and deeper than the Mini-Note and this extra size accounts for the larger screen, while also allowing for a touchpad with buttons below it rather than either side.

On the left edge you'll find one USB port, a memory card reader, microphone and headphone jacks, a D-SUB (VGA) video output and an Ethernet port for wired networking.

And, on the right, there are a further two USB ports for a total of three, a lock slot and power input, with the rest of the space taken up by an air vent.
