For our friends in the UK who have been anticipating the release of the MSI Wind U115, it’s going to be sometime in May and for a hefty price of around $726.  If you think that the MSI marketing people are out of their mind releasing the Wind U115 at such a high price, well we got to give credit first to the machine’s features and specs.

Like we reported before the MSI Wind U115 boasts of a whooping 14 hours of battery life. Yeah, that’s the price that you have to pay for longer usage right. In addition, the MSI Wind U115 is the first hybrid MSI netbook. Hybrid being it has both an SSD and HDD storage. To be exact make that 160GB of HDD and 8GB SSD. The good thing about its storage is that you can deactivate the HDD while remaining to use the SDD. That explains why the netbook can max out 12 hours of use.

Other features and specs of the MSI Wind U115 include a 10-inch LCD display, Intel Atom 1.6GHz Z530 processor, US15W chipset, 1GB RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 1.3 MP webcam, USB ports, and 6-cell battery.

So, are you willing to spend $726 for a netbook such as the MSI Wind U115?
