MSI Wind PC Dissection and Power Consumption Test
VR-Zone brings you some pictures of the Wind PC taken apart and power consumption figures!
We've managed to do some power consumption tests using our trusty Power Meter.
| Power Consumption Figures without battery | Idle | Load |
| Minimum Brightness (0%) | 9.8W | 17W |
| Medium Brightness (50%) | 11W | 18W |
| Maximum Brightness (100%) | 12.6W | 19.4W |
Maximum power draw occurs during full load with maximum brightness and battery charging, where 32W of power is drawn.
The review unit that was delivered to us came with a 3-cell 2200mAh battery which the initial batch of Wind will be equipped with. Subsequently, MSI will be rolling out a 6-cell battery (4400mAh) which promises up to 5.5 hours of battery life. From our tests, the Wind will last an approximate 1 hour 15 minutes at constant full load an and approximate 2 hours and 15 minutes under normal usage conditions.
Meanwhile, you guys can ogle at the Wind while our mouth stays shut on performance figures, while we're under NDA. =X Enjoy!
