A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

You seriously complain because HP will only sell this in a whopping THREE days? Crybaby much?
well at least its not pink anymore, but i must say im a bit pissed off. i´ve been waiting for word to drop on hp´s 10"er for months and after all this time they are just gona chuck an atom processor and the standard 1024x600 screen in there. dissapointing. very dissapointing.
Everybody wants more for less money, don't they.
I'm SOOOO stoked about this product, i've been waiting. Here we goooo! Will this be able to run OSX now? Due to the atom processor? Hit me on the PM or email me with some answers por favor [ timwmedia@gmail.com ]
Graci
Why can't Apple make something like this? I waited months for their new laptops, hoping for a sub £500 (yes, sub £500!) machine running OS X in the form factor of an EEE PC 1000 or this new HP. But they launch something larger at over twice the price! If HP can make a credible machine for £250 ($400) why can't Apple take the technology in the amazing iPod Touch v2 and create a nice take it anywhere WiFi, Bluetooth and SSD equipped chuck it in your backpack mini laptop?
We live in an era of cloud computing, where the web browser is king, not the all powerful desktop app. If Apple don't realise this soon, their current (deserved) 7 year reign of glory will fall to Microsoft Surface powered devices.
It has happened before...
Relevancy FAIL.
Considering how Microsoft Surface is a large table, I don't think that will happen anytime soon.
Just get a Wind and Hackintosh it. I think OS X runs on the IBM IdeaPad as well
I love my Dell Mini 9... but I must say when I was testing all the different netbooks, HP's One Note did have the best keyboard of all, but the VIA Processor pushed me away from it. But it's little too late for HP... I've got my Dell Mini 9, and I love it.
10-inch Mini.
I swear. Any chick that says that has got to be one major whore.
you are an utter failure as a man and a human being
"you are an utter failure as a man and a human being"
- that's what she said.
@ iKurt: Thank you for having a sense of humor.
@ Uncontrol: Being a knight in shining armor from the basement is not going to show the ladies how noble you are.
It's nice to see another option, but I think I am going to stick with the Lenovo S10, just because of the buttons, build quality (though I hear the HP is very well-built), and less bezel. It might actually fit into a stocking!
I don't see why it has to be a clamshell design. I want a mobile browser with a slideout keyboard that I can maybe slide in some deep pockets. Sick of this inbetween phone and laptop size that doesn't make it more convienent to carry but does lack in power, lose-lose product for me.
Yeah, I sort of wondered the same thing. I saw a video of that new Intel form factor, the UrbanMax Mobile PC, and it seemed pretty cool. Most tablets fail because they're just too big and heavy. Basing one on a netbook design, and going for ultralight seems like a way to maybe solve this problem. Course almost immediately I wondered what you need the physical keyboard for since you can just use a virual one for typing in web pages addresses and filling in forms, so if its really a netbook, maybe you don't even need a keyboard... either way it would be nice to see some more innovation in this space, even if it means some of these things will be FAIL.
With all the freakin' Eee PC models ASUS is introducing, they couldn't try a touchscreen tablet form factor?
[Yes I know they're supposedly coming out with something, bet its just a touchscreen laptop though, which will be FAIL].
I like how they put it up on the front page, but don't link to anything. No information, no pricing, nothing in the search either. Just that picture on the front page.
I think $399 qualifies as a price.
But only if you count "starts at" as substantial pricing.
Well, I just ordered an Eee 1000 for $449. 6 cell battery... 40G SSD... 1gb ram... yeah, I'm sure that'll do just fine.

So at the base price of $400 we're probably looking at 1.3 ghz and 3 cell right?
Other than the resolution, does this provide a step up from the 1000ha which is priced similarly with higher specs?
If its the typical Atom N series CPU, its 1.6GHz. If they went with the Z series, then both 1.3 and 1.6GHz CPUs are on offer, at least from Dell in the Mini 12. If its a Via Nano, I have no idea.
upgrade?
I'm hoping for a VIA Nano over an Atom. While the higher-end Nanos do have a higher reported TDP than the Atoms, Intel doesn't report max TDP like VIA and AMD do, they report average TDP, which is why AMD may report higher numbers but actually consume less power. Anyway, the Nano has higher performance per watt and could make this netbook stand out from the pack.
There's so many of these netbooks out now that are interchangeable. Granted, this HP has the sexiness that Dell's Mini Inspiron does for a tad smaller price. I just wish there was a clear, easy decision to make about which one to purchase. All the manufacturers seem like they're just throwing their product out on the market to ride this wave of ultra-mobile laptops instead of distinguishing their entries.
Ahh, the netbook competition is becoming interesting (Read: starting to focus and deliver machine specs I want).
Now, companies, fight to the death!
