MSI has finally announced the specs on their new Wind U115 netbook. MSI have billed the device as a hybrid storage notebook, as it uses both a SSD and an internal HDD. The Solid State Device is used for the operating system, files and other fast booting date. The standard Hard Disk is used for storage of files and documents.

MSI promises that the battery life will be super long on the Wind U115 netbook, this is thanks to ECO mode which helps to extend the runtime. The new netbook will ship with a 3-cell battery, but there will be a 6-cell battery option.
