With Computex around the corner, MSI let some information slip about the Wind U160DX netbook. Since it is the next step up, the netbook seems more than ready to assume the role of successor to the Wind U160. The U160 showed up at this year's CES and its appearance will live on in its sibling. The insides, however, are another story.
The U160DX runs on a N455 Atom CPU, and has one major improvement - DDR3 memory instead of just DDR2. It is not exactly clear how much DDR3 the model has, but its speeds will definitely make more than just a little difference.
Another vital detail that was disclosed. With the MSI power management system called "Turbo Drive Engine," the netbook will supposedly be able to work up to 15 hours on a single battery charge. That's as long as most people will stay awake during a day.
Unfortunately, little other information is available on the hardware, which means that we will have to wait a bit longer before learning about graphics and connectivity, not to mention pricing and availability.
