Default [Engadget] MSI Wind U110 Eco rocks ATI graphics, 9-hour battery life
Quote:

Looks like MSI's trying some new things with its next generation of netbooks -- instead of the expected Atom N280 or the NVIDIA Ion platform, the new Wind U110 ECO pairs a 1.6GHz Atom Z530 and Intel's traditionally MID-oriented Menlow chipset with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 to achieve nine hours of battery life. Of course, it remains to be seen what that number translates to in the real world and we've got questions about performance, but it's an interesting mashup of laptop, netbook, and MID parts -- let's hope pricing stays firmly in netbook territory.

I'd take it for 400$

But yeah, being made by MSI is a big...NO! in my book.

To many bad experiences with MSI.

The Atom doesn't OC well, as the cooling is crappy (and installing a new cooler is more trouble than it's worth in a netbook)
