How to create a small portable computer that provides very long operating time? -It's simple: you add an Intel Atom processor, Solid State Drive storage and the ECO mode from MSI. But that would mean you'll have to get an MSI-branded computer like the newly introduced MSI Wind laptop, the U115 Hybrid, which is the world's first model capable of operating with both Solid State Drive storage and a Hard Disk Drive simultaneously.
You would need both storage types and set the Solid State Drive as the primary solution for running the operating system, keeping the HDD for mass storage.
SSD benefits are many and include low-power consumption, shock resistance and faster speeds.
With the ECO mode provided exclusively on MSI's computers, you can turn it On and increase battery life considerably.
