MSI today announced the Wind U160 - what they're calling an "exquisitely designed small notebook PC". The U160 has won a German iF product design award. At less than an inch thick the Wind U160 weighs just 1 kg and uses Intel's Pine Trail platform, with the N450 Atom processor.

The laptop casing features MSI's unique color-film-print (CFP) technology with a two-tone colour scheme in gold and black. With its attractive external appearance, slim, lightweight design and painstaking attention to detail, the U160 is sure to appeal to any fashion-conscious consumer.

MSI Notebook Marketing Director Sam Chern explains that the Wind U160 is a hi-tech, high-fashion product of MSI's outstanding craftsmanship. The Wind U160's energy-saving 10-inch LED display boasts a reaction time of just 8 millisecond,  and claims  to be twice as fast as any other comparable product. The U160 also incorporates MSI's unique Chiclet keyboard, like that adopted by Apple for its notebook range., The Wind U160 has a claimed battery run-time in excess of 15 hours, enabling users to keep working all day without having to worry that they may run out of power.
