Can't get enough of this netbook craze? MSI is expanding its "Wind" line of netbooks, so you've got a lot to look forward to According to an interview with company figure Andy Tung, the floodgates will open in January with three new laptops to be released in the United States after Las Vegas' Consumer Electronics Show — the U110, the U115, and the U120, all of which have already been announced.

If you're looking for the standard netbook experience, you'll be happy with the U120H, which is basically the same as the already-out and very popular U100, except that you can install WiMAX or 3G in it to access the internet from outside the home (assuming those services are available in your area). The U110 and U115 both use a processor called the Intel Atom Z530; all you need to know there is that it's more energy efficient, so you'll get better battery life than you do with most current netbooks.

In fact, the U115 takes another step to that end by including two hard drives for storing files — one standard hard drive, and one high-tech solid state drive (SSD) that can't store quite as much as the former, but uses less power. The standard drive can be turned off for maximum battery life; MSI claims that you'll be able to use the computer for 10 straight hours before it runs out of juice. If you're wondering how much it'll cost to have a computer that'll last through your entire Saturday seminar, we're afraid we can't answer you. Pricing hasn't been revealed just yet.

The company is also introducing some more toys at CES, like touchscreen laptops and desktops. The desktops will be available for sale in the U.S. soon, but they're not so sure about the laptops.
