January 1, 2009


The use of the term hybrid in reference to laptops doesnt mean that its going to be powered by a miniature cold fusion plant thus making batteries extinct. Rather its a way of attracting more customers by focussing on the key advantages of the two different types of hard disk drives that we have today - SSDs and the traditional HDDs. As we know, HDDs are cheaper but slower and more susceptible to crashing. SSDs meanwhile are still expensive when you calculate the cost per MB.

The solution is notebook computer in the world that is capable of operating both SSD and HDD hard drives simultaneously. Presenting the MSI U115. The U115 Hybrid functions primarily with the SSD system, offering a reliable, shock-absorbent, and speedy operating environment.

You have the option of choosing the SSD system while operating with Windows, and selecting the HDD hard drive for file storage. The SSD system if much faster than HDD when retrieving files and it takes up less power. It is also much more shock-absorbent while riding on the train or the MRT.

Since the SSD has no moving parts, it prolongs the battery life of the laptop and the user is able to switch off the HDD at will so as to be able to go on for a longer time before having to recharge.
