Confirmed: Asus Eee PC T91 coming in July, MSI Wind U115 ending in July

Brad Linder — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:16:33 +0000

[/caption] There was a rumor going around yesterday that the Asus Eee PC T91 would begin shipping immediately. But as I mentioned yesterday, I've received confirmation that the much-anticipated convertible tablet style netbook won't be available in the US until late July. Asus has also posted a note on Twitter saying the same thing. It's still possible that the netbook...

MSI Wind U115 could be phased out almost as soon as it’s introduced

Brad Linder — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:28:46 +0000

MSI is just starting to sell the Wind U115 netbook in some parts of the world, but it looks like the company is preparing to phase this model out soon. In fact, if you want to get your hands on this netbook with excellent battery life and a combo hard drive/solid state disk storage system, you'll probably want to snatch...

MSI to continue selling Wind U115 despite Microsoft’s new policy

Brad Linder — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:01:52 +0000

Microsoft has apparently told computer makers that machines with hybrid SSD and hard drive based storage don't qualify for low cost Windows XP licenses. But MSI says that's not going to affect its decision to sell the MSI Wind U115, which happens to be the only netbook on the market fitting that description right now. The Wind U115 has just...

MSI Wind U115 now shipping in US for $499

Brad Linder — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:45:51 +0000

There may be a rumor going around that Microsoft doesn't want to sell cheap Windows XP licenses for netbooks that offer a dual SSD/HDD storage system. But that doesn't appear to be stopping MSI from moving ahead with its first hybrid storage netbook, the Wind U115. The company is now taking orders for the netbook on its web page. The...

Rumor: No Windows XP for netbooks with hybrid storage

Brad Linder — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:50:03 +0000

Microsoft extended the life of Windows XP in order to give netbook makers a low cost operating system that wasn't too heavy on resources to run on netbooks. But the company has set some restrictions on the systems that qualify for a cheap Windows XP license, because it wants to keep selling Windows Vista licenses for more powerful machines (and...

MSI Wind U115 due out in Japan this week

Brad Linder — Tue, 19 May 2009 13:53:14 +0000

The MSI Wind U115 is the first netbook from MSI to feature both a solid state disk and a hard drive. The unique combination means you can install the operating system on the smaller SSD and keep your files and data on the larger, more power- hungry hard drive. When you don't need the hard drive, the Wind U115 will...

You want all day computing? MSI Wind U115 + 9 cell battery = 25 hours

Brad Linder — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:36:49 +0000

We already knew that the MSI Wind U115 netbook was capable of getting over 13 hours of battery life with a 6 cell battery? But what happens when you plug in a 9 cell battery and try to stretch the battery life as long as possible? Johannes from Eee PC.de happened to have a U115, a 9 cell battery, and...

MSI Wind U115 gets a UK launch date and price

Brad Linder — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:04:04 +0000

MSI may have announced the Wind U115 netbook with a combination hard drive and solid state disk back in January. But while we've seen the netbook unboxed, tested, and dissected some details have been hard to come by. Like the price and release date. Now Hexus is reporting that MSI will begin shipping the Wind U115 in the UK in...

MSI Wind U115 unboxed, dissected again

Brad Linder — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:13:38 +0000

The MSI Wind U115 netbook isn't available in the US yet -- not even to reviewers. But the folks at UMPC Fever aren't in the US. And they got their hands on MSI's latest mini-laptop with a hybrid SSD/hard disk storage solution. They've posted a few unboxing photos, some close ups of the netbook and the requisite dissection gallery. This...

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...

MSI Wind U115 appears to provide ridiculously long battery life

Brad Linder — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:22:38 +0000

When MSI showed off the upcoming Wind U115 netbook at CES in January with a placard promising 10.5 hours of battery life, I was a bit skeptical. But according to preliminary tests at Eee PC.de, MSI might actually have been modest. Johannes at Eee PC.de is in the process of running a battery test. Around 4 hours in, the battery...

Brad Linder — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:24:07 +0000

MSI may have already spilled the details about its latest netbook offerings long before the start of CES, but that doesn't mean the company is all out of surprises. I stopped by the MSI booth at CES Unveiled this evening and spotted this MSI Wind U115 netbook with a 9 cell battery which should provide 10.5 hours of battery life. ...

New MSI U115 features “hybrid storage”

Lee — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:21:20 +0000

MSI has officially introduced the new U115 "Hybrid Storage" netbook, a unique netbook which was first unveiled in Europe earlier this month. The company claims this will be the first notebook capable of using both an SSD and HDD simultaneously. While that claim is technically not true (any dual-bay notebook can run 2.5" SATA SSD and HDD drives in combination),...
