MSI Wind U110 ECO goes on sale

MSI has rolled its new Wind U110 ECO netbook today and split everyone into two groups with it. First say that Wind U110 ECO hasn't earned their attention largely because its Intel GMA500 GPU. Fair enough, especially if we look back at overly enthusiastic articles that indicate that MSI U110 is going to have ATI graphics. Others reply that the toughest graphic gig it will do on everyday basis is Windows Aero Theme, so they are happy with saving money on graphics. Anyway, MSI Wind ECO netbook has more upsides to consider.

Long battery life in a netbook is sure an upside. MSI U110 sports a 9 cell battery that will last 15 hours from plug to plug. Enough for a whole day out, but it comes to price: its up to you whether 3.2 lbs is easy to carry around or not, so choose wisely here. Price (399 USD) and the rest of specs hasn't been changed and left the same as we knew it since Wind U110 ECO was announced:
