MSI Wind U115 Price and Date Revealed

MSI has released price details and the launch date of the Wind U115 netbook.

The U115, which will be available for delivery in the UK from May is somewhat unique, as it will have both a hard-drive and a solid state disk built in.

The operating system will be installed on the 8GB SSD (so it will start-up fast), and the 160GB HDD will be there for data and programs. The hard-drive will run only on demand, saving power and extending battery life when it is not.

The Wind U115 is will come with 1GB of DDR2 memory and is built on the Intel Atom Z530 processor and a US15W chipset.  The 10-inch screen resolution is 1024×600. Also included are 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.0, a card reader and three USB ports.

MSI claim that with the SSD turned on and the HDD turned off that the battery will last more than 12 hours. Yes, you read that right. Twelve hours.

The cost will be £499, so it will certainly have to be worth it!
