Conclusion
MSI Wind U135 is yet another netbook among many, with many of the same features as the previous models in the Wind series. Intel’s new platform boosts performance significantly in comparison to older models, but still does not quite deliver the dream of a fast and smooth working environment.
Wind U135 failed to deliver the expected battery life in numerous tests, with Asus’ Eee 1005P lasting almost twice as long. Wind U135 was also slower to go through a number of benchmarks, which was a bit surprising.
Beyond these points, however, the device delivers the required power to run programs like the Office package and such, which is probably something students will focus on. The webcam, 250GB hard drive and the small size might also come in handy in the long term, and the computer can probably fill the needs of most in that segment. However, we recommend that alternatives at the very least be considered, as Asus 1005P for example had certain advantages at only a slightly higher price.
Pros:
Simple design
Cheap
Cons:
Expected battery life
Irritating touchpad
