Battle of the breeze: MSI Wind vs. MacBook Air





Usability

If there's one thing that impressed us with the Air, it's its keyboard. It's one of the best we've ever used, on any laptop--ever. Then there's the gesture-sensitive multitouch mouse--all you have to do is stroke it and it'll do your bidding. Why can't everything be so simple? And we can't forget the 13.3-inch screen--it's an absolute joy to look at.

The Wind is smaller, so it was always doomed to be less usable. It's not as bad as most laptops of its size, though. It's easy to touch-type on its keyboard, and although the mouse trackpad is stupidly small and lacks multitouch, it's not too bad.

Verdict

It's got to be the Air, again. The Wind doesn't lose by much, but the Apple machine is the easiest to use on a day-to-day basis.
