MSI has quietly announced that this September they
will be releasing a new model of their critically acclaimed netbook, the MSI Wind. The new addition to the Wind family will have the model numbers U100-036 (white model) and U100-053 (black model) and will sport a refreshingly long lasting 6 cell battery!
The double sized battery should boost the netbook's run time from ~2 hr to a more satisfying ~4-6 hr with Wifi on and the screen at full brightness. As of yet there is no word on if the battery will stick out of the back or the bottom of the laptop, however the dimensions of the 6 cell netbook on the product page are the same as the 3 cell ones.
Hopefully this major improvement will increase the netbook's popularity and will pave the way for future improvements like stronger Wifi, a more robust processor and a larger trackpad like the one on the OLPC.
