MSI recently unveiled its hybrid netbook, the U115 a little over a week ago. This is great news for people who want more elbow room for their netbooks because of large files.
A hybrid netbook refers to the gadget’s feature of containing both a solid state hard drive as well as a conventional platter-based hard drive.
Although MSI has not given any information yet on when it will be released the specs for the machine have been given to the press. The U115 will sport a 10 inch display and will sport Intel’s 1.6Ghz Z530 Atom processor as well as the Menlow chipset platform. It will also have 1Gb of RAM, Wireless B and G, Bluetooth EDR, and a choice between a 1.3Mp and 2.0Mp webcam. It will also have a 4 in 1 card reader.
Of course, the center of attention will be on the HD space. The U115 will come with either an 8 or 16gb SSD that will work alongside a 120GB or 160GB conventional HD.
No price has been set as of yet.
