MSI Releases Wind U160DX Netbook with incredible 15 hour battery life

Netbooks are well known for having exceptional battery life, with many topping the 8 hour mark, but with the new MSI Wind U160DX, MSI have pushed the boundaries even more with a battery life of 15 hours!

The U160 DX is an updated model of the popular U160 and Whilst it's outer appearance remains mostly the same, the netbook's internals have been upgraded across the board, including a new Atom N455 processor, some DDR3 memory, MSI's own "Turbo Drive Engine" and, last but not least, a 15-hour battery.

The 15 hour battery is a result of partly being assisted by by MSI's ECO power management system which helps to reduce power usage throughout the netbook.

Still no word on pricing or availability for this netbook just yet, but we should be hearing more about it soon, so keep an eye on your news or Twitter feed for updates!
