MSI shows off their netbooks

MSI seriously brought its A-game to CES. This here is the MSI Wind U115 Hybrid. According to MSI, it's the first netbook that can run both a HDD and SDD simultaneously. You can get it in 8GB/80GB, 16GB/120GB, or 32GB/160GB configurations. It also has a special ECO mode that shuts the HDD off to save battery life. MSI reps told us that when paired with a 6-cell battery, it should give you up to 12 hours of battery life. Personally, I was impressed with its wide (comfortable keyboard) and its price tag. It'll start at $349 (depending on your config) when it comes out at the end of Q1. Yeah, $349 is kinda up there, but factor in the deals and this could be the "it" netbook if you're on a budget, but want something that you can actually type on.
