Aside from bearing the same Wind branding, the U110 and U115 will also feature a 10.2-inch screen, Atom Z530 processor and SCH US15W chipset. The fact that their CPUs will still be Atom makes these two notebooks worthy of the MSI Wind branding.

Setting it apart from the MSI Wind netbook is the fact that these two notebooks will offer lower power consumption and longer battery life. In additino, these two notebooks will also be priced higher than the MSI netbooks due to the expensive cost of the Menlow platform.

The MSI U115 will sell for around $685.28 to $744.89 while the U110 will have a price tag of $565-$595. So, it looks like MSI might have a hard time selling these products as it offers not too many differences with their MSI netbooks.

Other features of the MSI Wind U115 includes, a 10.2-inch LED-backlit LCD panel, 1-2GB RAM and Hybrid Storage which could either be an 8GB, 16GB or 35GB SSDs and 80GB, 120GB or 160GB HD. The MSI Wind U110 will have the same specs except for the hybrid storage since it will only have either a 120GB, 160GB or 250GB HD.
