MSI Wind U160 video hands-on from CES

As expected, the new MSI Wind U160 attracted a couple of eyes at CES 2010. It really is quite a revolution for MSI in terms of looks and design, and the hardware inside is also better, bringing on the new Intel PineTrail platform.

You’ll find below a couple of hands-on videos with the 10 inch netbook. From what i could spot, main first opinions about the MSI Wind U160 are kind of the same:

• looks nice, with a metallic touch finish, but design is ripped off inspired from the Vaios – check out the power button on the side
• it’s thin
• comes with chiclet keyboard with good flex and nice touchpad
• case is very very glossy, so definitely a no no for me

Besides those, it comes with standard features (Atom N450 prcesor, 1 GB of RAM, 250 GB hard-drive, Windows 7 Starter) and will probably have many battery options (perhaps even a 9 Cell – MSI had some previous netbooks with one of these). Prices for this Wind U160 will start from $399 and the device should be available in stores later this month. Stay tuned for more details.
