I have read somewhere that when MSI’s Wind U110 ECO was released in January, it was a perfect good netbook and all were quite satisfied with it. But it looked outdated when the newer HP Mini 5101 and Toshiba NB205 entered into the market and gave it a tuff competition. So, now an updated MSI’s Wind U110 ECO has come with a 15-hour and 9-cell battery. But I think this is not sufficient to know. So, let’s talk about its other features also.
MSI’s Wind U110 netbook has almost same features as the older one like:
• Same 1.6GHz Atom Z530 CPU
• Same lack of dedicated GMA500 graphics (it has got an integrated chip rather than the newer ATI Radeon HD3200 card)
• Same 160GB hard drive
• Same 1GB of DDR2 RAM
• 802.11n WiFi
• Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
• A 1.3 megapixel camera
• Gigabit Ethernet
• A trio of USB 2.0 ports
• A 4-in-1 card reader
• Windows XP Home
The good thing is that the notebook also offered a choice of operating system and versions can ship with either Windows XP or Vista. Now, let me tell you the difference which is that the giant 9-cell battery that supposedly gives a 15-hour run and the “Eco” name, which does not refer to any particular environmental update.
So, officially in its single configuration, the system ships for $430, though a NewEgg listing already has the same system which is available for $400.
