HP Mini 110 Windows 7 Netbook Leads Bestseller Charts

Topic:

Windows 7 netbooks have been on sale since Thursday when Microsoft officially launched Windows 7. Amazon has one of the broadest selections of netbooks on sale. My initial tip that the Asus Eee PC 1005HA with Windows 7 Starter would be the bestselling Windows 7 netbook was wrong. The new HP Mini 110 is currently #1 followed by three Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbooks (two XP and one running Win7).

Features of the HP Mini 110 include 1.6Ghz N270 Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, 10.1" LED Anti-glare display, 160GB HDD, 802.11g Wifi, 92% of full-size keyboard, 6-cell battery and Windows 7 Starter. Read more

Verizon HP Mini 1151NR Netbook Review

Topic:

Verizon Wireless announced the $199.99 HP Mini 1151NR 3G netbook offering a week ago. Our review partner Digital Trends took the HP 1151NR netbook to the test and published a review.
As expected the review is not that positive as the HP Mini 1151NR is simply not a top of the line netbook
Quote from the review: "Mobile computing is tough for international travelers. You may have a mobile wireless card from a U.S. phone carrier, but if it's a CDMA card you won't be able to use it in Europe, and if it's a GSM card, you won't be able to use it in much of Asia. Read more

First Verizon Netbook HP Mini 1151NR rumored for May 17th

Topic:

Subsidized netbooks are about to arrive in the United States. We already reported about AT&T offering 3G netbooks in selected markets. BoyGeniusReport has a rumor up that Verizon will offer the HP Mini 1151NR starting May 17th.

Apparently Verizon is charging $199 with a 2-year contract for the data service for the HP Mini 1151NR. It is funny how U.S. carriers still get away with charging $99 or $199, where in Europe you get these 1 Euro deals on the iPhone and on netbooks of course as well. Read more

HP Mini 1100 Specs Unveiled on HP Site

Topic:

We have been hearing a bit about the new models HP will add this year to its Mini line of netbook computers. This week new specification pages for the 1133CL, 1135NR, 1140NR, and 1141NR have shown up on the HP website.

One of the rumored specs that have turned out to be accurate was the addition of an Expresscard/54 slot. Update: Apparently there is no Expresscard slot according to Liliputing citing HP. Engadget says that the 1141NR is the fancy and girly Vivienne Tam edition. There is little to set the four models apart though. Read more
