It turns out that I was wrong on both counts. The MSI Wind U115 netbook has to hard drives. One to improve performance and the other to store data. This world’s first is a pretty neat concept as it also improves battery life. Today, it has been made official by MSI.

Jay Bika — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:34:47 +0000

http://www.eeepcnews.de does something so fun. It took a Dell 12″ laptop and then stacked a bunch of netbooks on top of it for size comparisons. It really is something to see how tiny netbooks are and still they do get the job done as well as laptops.

“Just a size comparison between a Dell Inspiron 700M 12.1 inch subnotebook and the (ASUS) Eee PC 1000H, Medion Akoya Mini E1210 [Jay's note: a rebadged MSI WInd really], HP 2133 Mini-Note, Acer Aspire One, [ASUS] Eee PC 900 and [ASUS] Eee PC 701 netbooks”

“Our first look at the MSI Wind U120 has us excited for what MSI is promising in the final production unit. Until recently the MSI Wind was our favoriate netbook, but then the Samsung NC10 arrived on the scene with a stronger battery life and an even sleeker chassis. Will the Wind U120 rival our current category favorite?” asks Laptop Mag in Hands-On With the MSI Wind U120.

Earlier on today, we showed pics of the MSI Wind U120 netbook that were snapped by Engadget China.

Review: The LG X110 Netbook (aka The MSI Wind U100 Remixed)

Jay Bika — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:45:40 +0000

Thanks to Mobile Computer Mag for a review of the LG X110 Netbook which apparently is a rebranded MSI Wind U100. If you read Notebook Era’s shopping guide on what the best brand of notebooks is, you will remember that I said that almost all netbooks are the same under the hood but it’s only on the surface that they seem to differ.
