I finally got my MSI Wind on Thursday. Since then, I have been busy setting it up and installing all the necessary software. I’m not going to do a full review on this, as it has been done before by millions of other MSI Wind users. But I’m going to share some fun facts of the MSI Wind:

  • MSI Wind is very light. Much lighter than any notebooks.
  • It runs cool and quiet.
  • The LCD screen is very bright, brighter than my old Sony Vaio laptop.
  • Screen size is adequate for watching videos, browsing the internet, photos editing, and doing some work.
  • It is not as underpowered as many has claimed.
  • It runs Visual Studio 2008 express and SQL Server 2008 Express with no performance issue.
  • 1 GB of ram it comes with is sufficient. You can upgrade to 2 GB, but upgrading will void your warranty.
  • The keyboard size (92% of the standard size) is good. Have no problem typing with the keyboard.
  • One complain with the keyboard, they shouldn’t have switched the left Ctrl key with the Fn key, it’s annoying.
  • Track pad area is too small, and the button feels cheap.
  • The speakers suck. Get yourself a good pair of earphones. 
  • Battery will last around 3 hours and 30 minutes on full brightness. On acceptable brightness it will run for 4 hours 30 minutes.
  • Last fun fact: This little thing is AWESOME. :)
