MSI Launches Wind U110 ECO Boasting Nine Hours of Battery Life
March 16th, 2009 by Joanna Stern 
MSI just keeps breeding that Wind family. Today the Taiwanese company unveiled it Wind U110 ECO, which sports a similar chassis to the Wind U115 but is slated to get 9 hours of battery life.
Using Intel’s Menlow Atom family of processors (the 1.6GHz Atom Z530), which is optimized for battery savings, and a higher capacity battery, MSI is confident that the ECO will be one of the longest running netbooks on the track.
Other than its predicted battery capabilities the 10-inch LED Backlit U110 ECO has the run of the mill netbook specs including an 1GB of RAM and Windows XP. It will have a US15 chipset which uses Intel’s GMA 500 graphics. Early reports indicated that it would have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 graphics card. Andy Tung of MSI confirmed this was a misprint on the company’s Website.
Similar to the U100 it has a 4-in-1 card reader, 3 USB, Ethernet, mic and headphone jacks. It also has a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g/n options. According to MSI U.S. they are undecided at the moment if the U100 ECO will hit domestic shores.

THe U110 is out now! With 15+hours of battery life and HD webcam. I have to say, netbooks are really putting themselves out there. I think if more computer companies start producing and pushing netbooks, it would really help the revenue for them. Good job MSI. Keep the PC/OS Wind family comin’.

Yea, i think its somewhere around the 14-15 hour mark for the battery. pretty impressive little thing running on a 9-cell battery. It should also lift the laptop up a bit and let the air circulate down there. i guess its good battery life and allows the netbook to breathe.
