The MSI Wind U115 is the first netbook from MSI to feature both a solid state disk and a hard drive. The unique combination means you can install the operating system on the smaller SSD and keep your files and data on the larger, more power- hungry hard drive. When you don’t need the hard drive, the Wind U115 will power it down to save electricity, thus extending the netbook’s battery life to around 12 hours.

While the MSI Wind U115 isn’t available in the US yet, Portable Monkey reports that at least one Japanese retailer says it will be available in that country on Friday for 69,800 yen, or about $723. Keep in mind, that’s not a reflection of the US pricing, as computers tend to cost more in Japan.
