The MSI Wind U115 promises up to 12 hours of battery life (using a 6-cell battery), supports up to 2GB of RAM, comes with Wi-Fi built-in, and will use Intel’s Atom Z530 processor.

According to Ars Technica, the U115 will run on Windows XP Home and will use the Intel Poulsbo US15W chipset that combined with the new Atom CPU will result to ‘less power consumption than previous Wind models.’

In addition, two versions of the device will be offered: one version will have an 8GB SSD and a 120GB HDD while the second will get a 16GB SSD and a 160GB HDD.

The pricing and availability are not available at this time.
