MSI's Wind U100 PLUS Atom N280 Netbook Is Claimed To Have 7 Hours Battery

If the U100 wasn’t enough, MSI tosses another netbook to the lineup, this time with a 1.66GHz Atom N280 processor inside, replacing the common N270 that we’re all familiar with. Other than that, the new Wind U100 PLUS packs a 10-inch 1,024 x 600 display, 160GB hard drive, up to 2GB of RAM, 945GMS chipset, three USB 2.0 sockets, VGA output, 4-in-1 multicard reader, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR,  a 1.3 megapixel webcam and a 3-cell battery (optional 6-cell). But that’s not all folks  – we’re just getting to the most interesting part of this revelation, as MSI vigorously states that users will be able to achieve up to 7 hours of continuous work (!) with the standard 3-cell battery, which means up to 14 hours of work if you choose to integrate the 6-cell alternative (?). Obviously, it should be tested in the coming weeks before the winner is announced, and we sure hope to bring you the results, together with some fresh details about price and availability.
