Intel as usual, were being dicks about this and just said in so many words, "We don't make the laptops, just the chips, so AMD should shut up. *raspberry*." Intel really cares about its customers.]]>Mar 16th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/
My Asus 1000He also gets over 7 hours of battery life (battery saver mode) while being on wifi with internet explorer and aim.

I've used other laptops in the past before with long lasting battery claims, and none of them had ever performed significantly worse than advertised. However, my gaming laptops and others with rated 2-3 hours battery life can never even achieve 1.5 hours, and that's without playing any games.

So it seems like if the manufacturer emphasizes good battery life, that's what you'll get. If battery life is an afterthought, even the crappy 2 hour life in their specs is optimistic.]]>Mar 16th 2009 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/]]>Mar 16th 2009 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/]]>Mar 16th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/]]>Mar 16th 2009 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/
Good, now we can move on to actual comments about the hardware.]]>Mar 16th 2009 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/ looks. If this is $450 or less it will be a fantastic deal, and my tax return may go to it! L2 would probably run great on that, Quake Live, maybe even Fear Combat on low. ]]>Mar 16th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/
no details on whether it also nudges ahead of the line with dual channel 802.11n]]>Mar 16th 2009 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/
I'm getting quite impressed with the Wind with this model having dedicated ATI graphics and the U115 model having SSD/HDD hybrid with up to 15 hours of battery life and 5 hours battery life minimum. ]]>Mar 16th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/
Awesome Price + Awesome Screen + Awesome Battery + Great Keyboard + Horrible Trackpad = Crappy Netbook

Sorry, MSI. Fix that sucker!]]>Mar 16th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/
I'm searching for a cheap netbook that can be docked in my home theater to act as the front-end of my media solution whenever I'm at home.

I know I'm not alone...make it a touchscreen tablet as well, and I think many here would consider it the modern Holy Grail of gadgets. :)]]>Mar 16th 2009 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/]]>Mar 16th 2009 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/
If the benchies support that fact, then this just might become my first netbook purchase... :)]]>Mar 16th 2009 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/Mar 16th 2009 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/msi-wind-u110-eco-rocks-ati-graphics-9-hour-battery-life/
