Overall the Wind U160 is a sleek and stylish laptop with decent battery life and a comfortable keyboard. Its only problem is that you can get better.

As a netbook, MSI's Wind U160 has almost all of the right ingredients. The system's small, thin, ultra-light, very easy on the eye and comfortable in use. Performance is exactly what you'd expect from an Atom-powered netbook; it's perfectly adequate for basic tasks such as word processing and light web browsing, and battery life - albeit short of MSI's own claims - is excellent.

If there is one particular failing that the MSI Wind U160 has as a netbook, it is that it only comes with 1GB RAM, meaning you'll be wanting to upgrade almost as soon as you get it home (about £30). Otherwise there is little on offer to differentiate the MSI Wind U160 from other netbook rivals. But at the same time the Wind U160 doesn't do anything wrong. There are cheaper netbooks that offer almost identical performance if budget is a concern, but in a category where everything is much of a muchness, the long battery life and interesting design might appeal.

The MSI Wind U160 is essentially a redesigned U135 with a slightly larger battery. System components are nearly identical between the two models, with the U160 having a 7Wh larger battery. While MSI advertises an impressive 15 hours of battery life, in our tests we only managed to see 8 hours and 21 minutes with very light activity.

With a very similar spec to a lot of netbooks floating out of the great netbook yards of Eastern China, this machine is a bit faster, for a bit longer, than many. With the exception of its bulky battery tube, it’s a well-designed traveller with a good software bundle.

The MSI U160-007US's only perk is it ships with a big 65WH battery and it's reasonably priced; other than that there's not much to brag about.

Aside from the chic looks, the Wind U160 can convince with a good workmanship, a good battery life, an adequate connectivity and high-end input devices. The MSI Wind U160 has many strengths, but regrettably also a few weaknesses. If you can cope with these flaws, you'll get a solid, compact and well-manufactured netbook.

Overall, we were very impressed with the MSI Wind U160. The stickers that plaster the palm-rest are unfortunate, and detract from what is otherwise a nice looking machine, but otherwise the features, usability and portability on offer thoroughly impressed us.

The MSI Wind U160 is the best 10-inch MSI Wind netbook till date. It has good looks, decent features, nice keyboard and touchpad, and very good battery life. We recommend the Wind U160 over the Asus Eee PC 1008P because of its lower price point and its extra RAM and hard drive space - unless you don't mind spending extra on the Eee PC 1008P's unique faux-reptilian skin exterior. The MSI Wind U160 is the best looking Wind netbook till date. It offers good performance and a nice feature set, and comes with extra RAM and hard drive space compared to most other netbooks. It also offers over 7 hours of battery life.

The basic-as-it-gets MSI Wind U160-007US is a leader in battery life, but shouldn't cost $80 more than comparable systems.

This gorgeous netbook features a slim build and long battery life, though its price tops the list of Pine Trail netbooks.

This netbook is rather lightweight and lasts almost nine hours on a charge, but its design could use some refinement.
