Better Late Than Never: HP releases Mini Netbooks
HP has just now realized what a cash cow netbooks can be these days, and they’ve finally gotten off the horse and released a few of their own, and they sound pretty solid.
HP released three new netbooks in its HP Mini line: the 1101, 110 XP, and 110 Mi.
All of these feature a 10.1-inch widescreen display, autosync stuff built in to sync files with your primary PC easily, and a fairly solid 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 / 1.66GHz N280 processor with GMA 950 graphics, 3 or 6 cell batteries (6 cell recommended, believe us), and Wi-Fi built in too.
The Mini 110 XP model comes with 1GB RAM, an important choice of 160GB HDD or 32GB SSD, and a Broadcom HD Enhanced Video Accelerator, which is good for 1080p video playback, if you’re into that sort of thing on a laptop.
You can also choose the interesting Linux-powered Mini 110 Mi that comes with a very solid 250GB HDD and 2GB memory (more memory for Linux, not known as a system hog, is a rather curious decision).
We know: you’re waiting for the prices. The 1101 will for $329 in simple gloss black, and the “black swirl” design Mini 110 XP and Mini 110 Mi will retail for $329.99 and $279.99, respectively and be released in mid-June. The HP Mini 110 XP will be released in pink chic or white swirl designs (they’re late to the “design” parade as well, but now they’re trying) will be released in early July.
