Innovation can be a double-edged sword. While we've been frank in our criticism of netbooks for their lack of just that, it's as much a reflection of the sector and its demands as the strategy of any manufacturer - when you're trying to make low-cost devices there isn't a great deal of wiggle room! It's a problem that's amply demonstrated by the MSI Wind U115 (U115-025UK), which MSI terms a 'hybrid netbook' due to its use of both solid state storage and a mechanical hard drive.
