A look inside the MSI Wind

Taking apart an excellent ultraportable

At 10in, the MSI Wind is perhaps the perfect low-cost ultraportable laptop on the market. It possesses good speed for Web browsing and office applications and plenty of storage, and it's very comfortable to use. Because we're naturally curious about the way these types of laptops are put together, we opened the Wind and took a peek inside. The biggest surprise was the 2.5in SATA hard drive, which takes up the majority of the space.
This is what the MSI Wind looks like after the bottom part of the shell is removed. It's held together by nine screws and it comes off fairly easily if a thin flat-head screwdriver is used to prise apart the clips that hold the top and bottom parts of the shell in place.
