MSI Wind Nettop 120 XP PC Review

Page 2 – Packaging and contents

Green, simple and reliable is the box in which Wind Netbook resides. The colour in no mere coincidence, except the MSI logos and the one informing us the product relies on Intel's Atom processor, all other blare forth how Eco-friendly and energy efficient computer are you holding in your hands. My word! I've seen Eco-friendly, energy efficient products before, but that one definitely insists on yelling it in my face. It's nice though that despite its recycled (and recyclable) nature, its reliability is not compromised in any way, while at the same time with its minimalism even saves you the trouble of digging through thousand bags containing the components.

The contents are of course more interesting than the box. Though not spoilingly luxurious it is quite decent – the Wind Nettop, its power adapter, stand for placing the computer vertically, driver CD, the inevitable user manual and short recovery manual.
