Eye-catching colors that are chic and unique, simply irressistable
Glittering with a pearl-like radiance, the U160 offers you a choice of two colors: Fancy Gold or Jet Black. There is a rich variation in color tone depending on the light source that is being reflected off the surface, giving the U160 a charming elegance that will never go out of fashion.

Unique Scrath-free
Color Film Print Technology, the sparkling, scratch-resistant enamel provides a high degree of rigidity. Under different light sources, this finish will emit a multitude of color variations that create sparkling visual effects and evoke a minimalist undertone of taste and style.

Ultra Chic and More Fun

msi’s chiclet keyboard design – more stylish, and more comfortable for you

The stylish chiclet keyboard design expands the area of contact between fingers and keys when compared to regular keyboards, reducing typing errors and increasing comfort.

In addition, the chiclet keyboard is designed to damp key-press sounds. Whether typing or gaming, the chiclet keyboard means you no longer have to fret about disturbing those around you with keyboard clicks and clatter.

A touchpad that merges seamlessly into the palm-rest, making the U160 more enjoyable to use

The extra-wide touchpad built into the U160 merges seamlessly into the surrounding area of the chassis, allowing your fingers to move around more freely. The touchpad comprises a grid of raised dots that enhance both the tactile effect and aesthetic attraction, and make it both fun and easy to use.

A dazzlingly attractive logo on the netbook lid, with a special power switch light on the end of the display hinge

The design of the U160 embodies painstaking attention to detail. The msi logo on the upper lid emits a glorious white radiance, which combines with the blue LED power switch light on the end of the display hinge to create a beautiful, calming effect even in the dark.
