With all the recent talk about Earth Hour and energy conservation, this new netbook from MSI couldn't have arrived at a better time. Called the U110 ECO, this 10-incher comes with all the bells and whistles that any other netbook would - an Intel Atom Z530 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB HDD, a 1.3 mega pixel webcam, and 802.11b/g/n wireless connectivity - but the real kicker on this one is it's reported 9 hour battery life. Of course there are asterisks all over the press release stating that 9 hours is only obtainable with the correct settings (we're guessing low backlight, WiFi off, etc), but there's no denying that the prospect of that kind of battery life is simply amazing.
