The MSI Wind U115 isn’t making the rounds in the US yet, but it looks like some European tech sites are getting their hands on pre-release versions of the netbook. Yesterday we got a battery life report from Germany. And it looks like Polish tech site nvision got some hands on time with a U115 earlier this month.
The MSI Wind U115 has a few things that set it apart from other netbooks. First, it uses the Intel Atom Z530 CPU, which is more energy efficient than the Intel Atom N270 chip found in most netbooks. Second, it has a unique storage system involving an 8GB SSD and a 160GB hard drive. The operating system sits on the SSD, along with any programs or files you can fit on the solid state disk. This allows the computer to turn off the hard drive when it’s not in use, which conserves energy and prolongs battery life.
