MSI U115 Hybrid Netbook comes with HDD, SSD Inside

| 11 Comments
Without a doubt, 2008 has been a break-out year for netbooks and it seems that MSI wants to set a new trend in 2009 with the announcement of the world's first hybrid netbook, the U115.

MSI U115 Hybrid Netbook

Instead of offering either an SSD or HDD variant, they’ve decided to combine both in a single device offering you a taste and the best of both worlds. There’s an ECO mode feature which when turned on will shut down the HDD to extend battery life in extreme situations wherein an external power source cannot be found. The U115 comes with an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 10-inch display, 1GB DDR2 522MHz RAM, Bluetooth, Windows XP Home, 1.3- or 2.0-megapixel camera, 3- or 6-cell battery, 802.11 b/g/n or b/g WiFi connectivity and 120GB HDD with 8GB SSD or 160GB with 16GB SSD options. No word yet as to when, where and how much the U115 netbook will cost, but taking into consideration that it will feature two storage devices, expect it to cost a bit more than you’re average Wind netbook.

Its not a bit, consider it more. if the netbook is priced around 35K in traditional standards it would project maybe 40-45K with the SSD.

but the drive is ambigous, is it a really a SSD or a internal Traditional SD Flash or some type of Flash memory.

SSD are very expensive. if normal flash well it won't matter much since they are dirt cheap.

The MSI Wind 120 usually costs around 20-22k Pesos as of writing, depending on the specs. Average netbook price as of writing, I'd estimate to be around /- 25k.
If Wind would then include SSD (DRAM based, or even FLASH) I'd estimate the price to go upto /- 30-22k Pesos.

anyone knows the price of u120H in the Philippines and where can i buy it? thanks in advance!!

@Solidad: 35k by traditional standards? Where do you shop your netbooks? They're priced way high! I wouldn't buy an msi netbook for 45k. Never! Now if apple released a netbook for 40k, that would be a different story since you're paying also for OS X which I truly love. :D

The U115 starts with Intel's newest netbook-friendly processor, the 1.6GHz Atom Z530. It consumes half the power of the ubiquitous Atom N270, which helps account for the U115's battery-friendly nature. It also sports 1GB of RAM, a 10-inch LED screen that's gloriously bright, and a dynamic storage duo: a 160GB Serial ATA drive and an 8GB SSD.
