, Mar 16th 2009 Discuss [0]

Hot on the heals of the power-frugal MSI Wind U115 Hybrid netbook comes the company's more entry-level version.  The MSI Wind U110 Eco has the same 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor, 10-inch 1024 x 600 display and 1GB of memory, but lacks the U115 Hybrid's clever dual HDD/SDD storage.  Instead it has a single 160GB 2.5-inch SATA hard-drive, but according to MSI the U110 Eco can still hit 9hrs runtime from a single charge.

MSI Wind U115 Hybrid: over 13hrs from single charge

, Mar 12th 2009 Discuss [0]

MSI's dual-storage Wind U115 Hybrid netbook was advertised as not only a speed demon (thanks to the 8GB or 16GB SSD) but a frugal one, with the company predicting runtimes of up to 10.5hrs from a single charge.  However it now looks as though MSI were actually too modest in their claims; Eee PC.de have been running battery tests and the MSI Wind U115 lasted 13 hours and 15 minutes.
