80% MSI Wind U210-075UK review
Source: PC Advisor
MSI has kept the ‘Wind' moniker for its new U210-075UK netbook but, besides the familiar curvy body, almost everything has changed. MSI fits the Wind U210-075UK with a slightly more powerful processor and graphics than most netbooks, although this reduces battery life. Nor did we like the touchpad. Even so, this is an attractive, speedy model that earns a Recommended badge.
