MSI Wind U120
Weighing 2.4 pounds, this black-and-white mini-note turned in the second-best results in our benchmarks. But its teeny trackpad is not suitable for grown-ups. Battery life was decent — a skosh over 3 hours — although others in the roundup did considerably better.
WIRED The Wind's roomy, comfortable keyboard should keep carpal tunnel at bay — as long as you hook up an external mouse. Nifty webcam uses facial recognition to log you in even on bad hair days.
TIRED Question mark keycap is oddly small, stifling curiosity. Cheap speakers make music sound like a band of ants performing in an aluminum can.
