There is one thing that makes MSI Wind U115-025UK is different from most of the netbooks on the market. MSI calls this netbook netbook netbook hybrid, which means it uses two kinds of media store: SSD (Solid State Drive) and conventional hard disk. Unfortunately, this interesting feature should be redeemed at a price that is quite expensive.

MSI Wind U115-025UK is using 8GB SSD capacity is used only for operating systems, in this case Windows XP. The second store media is supplied 160GB hard disk capacity for storing data. The solution is quite clever because the hard disk that in fact requires greater electrical power will only be accessible if you’re working with your personal files just so that battery life was wasted.

On the other hand, SSDs have faster access and require less electrical power is used for the operating system a more intense use. If you only use this netbook for browsing the Internet the six cell battery used here can hold up to ten hours. That number could rise even more if you do not mind reducing the screen brightness level.

LCD screen size is 10 inches, too, has a satisfactory appearance. With a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, the display is covered with anti-glare is quite clear and readable text that clearly reduce the brightness level does not seem to be too much affects the quality of this screen. About the value of ergonomics, the keyboard was still following the standard MSI Wind already provides comfort when typing though not too big in size.

The strange thing is the touchpad instead of his square-shaped instead of rectangular screen in accordance with the format. This will be a bit annoying when you have to shift the cursor from the lower left corner of the screen toward the top right corner of the screen. Worse yet, this touchpad scroll not support this feature and the button at the bottom was not very good quality.

As a netbook, offal configuration will clearly not too far different from the other netbooks. This netbook processor uses Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom Z530 with 1GB of RAM. Connectivity at-handle by the Draft-N Wi-Fi and Bluetooth while on the top of the screen is 1.3-megapixel webcam. This configuration is not far different from the other netbooks on the market today.
