Review MSI Wind U115 Hybrid Luxury Netbook

 

The Long-Distance Runner. The Wind U115 Luxury is a netbook alter

Good case quality; Good display, ideal for outdoor missions; WLAN draft-n; Extremely long runtimes; Quiet system noise; Low heat development; Complete configuration, except for UMTS

Strongly flapping display lid, depending on the working area; Adverse positioned USB ports; Small SSD memory; Partially small keys

are scarce. Lenovo has a S10e variant with SSD and HDD combination, but doesn't reach by far such a long runtime. The Samsung N120 or the Acer Aspire One 751 can boast with long runtimes of about 10 hours. On the other hand, both have reflective displays.

MSI Wind U115 Hybrid

 

The Wind is still one of the better 10-inch laptops in the mix, although due to its substandard trackpad and high price, we'd suggest the HP Mini 2140 or Asus Eee PC 1000HE would be a better choice.

Excellent keyboard, More efficient Atom processor, Good screen size, Relatively quiet, Hybrid storage offers the best of both worlds, No useless trial software

USB Ethernet implementation can be confusing, Sentelic touch pad falls short of other offerings

MSI Wind U115 netbook

 

In our battery tests the MSI Wind U115 lasted longer than any other netbook we've reviewed

Excellent battery life, SSD and conventional hard drive, 802.11n wireless networking

Poor balance, some keys are too small, touchpad buttons are not well defined

For travellers — or anyone who wants to work for long periods of time away from a power outlet — the MSI Wind U115 is perfect. Its battery life is the longest we've seen in an Intel Atom-based netbook, lasting well over five hours. We also like the...

MSI Wind U115 Hybrid review

 

MSI Wind U115 Hybrid brings both speed and size to netbook storage

Fantastic battery life ; Two storage options ; Bright screen

Tiny trackpad ; A little expensive

Despite its slight flaws, the hybrid storage options and amazing battery life make this a hell of a netbook

MSI Wind U115 Hybrid notebook

 

MSI's latest netbook comes along boasting a long battery life and large storage with a quirky exclusive edge over the competition. Do all the specifications on paper match up with real life use, or do the claims of the manufacturer fall short in...

Both an SSD and HDD based netbook, 10-inch screen, good keyboard

Loses power saving settings easily, not a unique looking device: too close to the HP netbook for comfort, price

On paper, MSI claimed the battery life was 12 hours of use whilst in Eco mode, where the U115 relies solely on the SSD. In reality, we managed to get a good 8 hours of life out of the latest Wind netbook, with Wi-Fi on and many applications running at...

MSI Wind U115 review

 

It has a very long battery life, 802.11n wireless networking (Ralink 1t2r), Intel GMA 500 graphics, and two storage devices: a solid-state drive and a conventional spinning hard drive. As far as netbooks go, the MSI Wind U115 is a very interesting...
