The display graphics performance is double that of the previous generation platform. You can watch movies or hook it up to an HDTV without compromising picture quality.

MSI TDE overclocking technoloy: The MSI Wind U180 comes with MSI's own epoch making TDE overclocking technology to speed up the processor clock, instantly throttling up performance.

Unique Chiclet keyboard: The MSI Wind U180 has a stylish Chiclet keyboard with independent key design for quieter, more solid action. With each strike of the keyboard, you will understand that MSI truly does insist on the best in each and every detail.

Attention to detail

Swirl design touchpad: The Wind U180 employs MSI's own swirl design touchpad which gives the keyboard area a stylishly minimalist look and enhances touch detection for smoother cursor movement.

Super thin 10-inch LED screen: The MSI Wind U180 sports a power-saving 10.1" LED backlit display with a response time of just 8 milliseconds-more than twice as fast as traditional notebooks, to give you a smooth, crisp picture with greater detail and brighter colors when watching movies and animation. This netbook offers the visual quality of a cinema.

Ultimate mobility, extended battery power

MSI's ECO power saving technology: MSI's exclusive ECO engine power saving technology allows you to select from among five power management levels-Video Game, Film, Presentation, Word Processing, and Turbo Battery, with the touch of a finger, so you can effectively extend battery power time 33% over the previous generation.
