MSI has released full specs for the new Wind U160. In the press release they confirmed that the Wind U160 which has already been awarded the iF Product Design Award 2010, will be available in a choice of Jet Black or Fancy Gold.

With its incredibly stunning looks, the U160 is extremely slimline at less than 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick and weighs in at only 1 Kg (2.2 lb). The case is coated with Colour Film Print Technology scratch resistant enamel which not only protects the netbook, but makes it sparkle in the lights.

When the lid is opened, a super quiet and super comfortable ‘chiclet’ style keyboard awaits, as well a seamlessly integrated touchpad (consisting of a grid of raised dots) built into the case itself.

Battery life is claimed to be up to 15 hours, but in normal use (with the wifi on for example) don’t expect to get all of them. None the less, with it’s power saving LED backlit screen it certainly should last the best part of that.

The full specification of the MSI Wind U160 is as follows:
