Construction & Design

MSI Wind U135 closely resembles the other models in the Wind series, but is distinguished by its black colour below the keyboard. The computer is grey against black and comes in a very simple design that makes it easy to handle, with things like nicely rounded edges. Fingerprints also seem to be well hidden, something yours truly greatly appreciates!

The lid

(Click on the picture)

The lid is grey with a minor striped pattern. MSI’s logo is imprinted in the middle – quite mandatory from MSI.

The front

(Click on the picture)

There is little of interest at the front, except for the barely discernable diodes.

The rear

(Click on the picture)

At the rear we have only the 6-celled battery, and you can see that the computer actually rests on it. This is why the computer is a bit taller at the rear, but it is not something you tend to notice during general use.

The bottom

(Click on the picture)

The only thing that appears to be easily accessible is the battery. You can see the speakers located in the two bottom corners.

The right side

(Click on the picture)

On the right side we have a USB port, card reader, audio jack-in, audio jack-out, VGA port and an RJ-45 port for Ethernet LAN.

The left side

On the left we have the Kensington lock slot, DC-in for the charger, a vent and two USB ports.

Buttons/Diodes

(Click on the picture)

The only button of interest in power button, located just above the keyboard to the right. It lights blue when the computer is turned on.

The diodes indicate the status of Bluetooth, WiFi, power, battery, capslock, numlock, scroll lock and hard drive activity. All diodes glow with a dull, green light, except Bluetooth which glows blue.
