MSI Launches U115 Hybrid Mini Notebook with SSD/HDD Storage

Micro-Star Int’l has announced the MSI U115 Hybrid, a 10-inch mini laptop with Hybrid Storage technology that combines solid state drive and hard drive storage.

“The U115 Hybrid functions primarily with the SSD system, offering a reliable, shock-absorbent, and speedy operating environment. You have the option of choosing the SSD system while operating with Windows, and selecting the HDD hard drive for file storage,” MSI explains.

The MSI U115 is based on Intel’s Menlow UMPC platform with the Atom Z530 processor at 1.6GHz and Poulsbo US15W chipset. The Windows XP Home-powered notebook features 1GB of DDR2 memory and a 8GB or 16GB SSD combined with a 120GB or 160GB HDD, depending on model. The display has a resolution of 1024-by-600 pixels.

There are also a 1.3- or 2-megapixel web camera, stereo speakers, 802.11b/g/n wireless and Bluetooth connections, Ethernet LAN, three USB ports, and a 4-in-1 media card reader.

The U115 Hybrid weighs 2.2 pounds with a 3-cell battery. The laptop will be also available with a 6-cell unit, according to the product specifications.

Images of the laptops show that it has the same chassis shape as the currently available MSI Wind U100.
