According to this article some intelligent loser said Netbooks are crap.

I bet the reason they are shipping Vista instead of something more appropriate is because they are willfully breaking Microsoft's arbitrary hardware limitations for XP on netbooks. ]]>Jun 24th 2009 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/
So now this, I think I'll buy one since it has the 1366, LED-backlit screen. I have fine eyesight still, so to me a high resolution is the way to go. It will slot right in nicely between my Dell Mini 9 and my 13-inch Macbook (which actually has lower screen res) :)

Will probably replace my Mini 9 actually, if it's as portable as the Dell.

It appears that Adobe Flash doesn't support any meaningful GPU offload, so the GPU is irrelevant right now. We'll see if this changes in the future.

I ASSUME that thin and lights running Intel's CULV processors can handle full screen flash, but am not sure.

No idea if the new Gateway running a 1.2GHz Athlon can handle HD Flash full screen or not.]]>Jun 24th 2009 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/Jun 24th 2009 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/Jun 24th 2009 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/Jun 24th 2009 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/Jun 24th 2009 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/Jun 24th 2009 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/Jun 24th 2009 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/hp-mini-5101-cleans-up-nice-shows-the-serious-side-of-netbooks/

Wow! They finally figured out how to make the trackpad glossy too! Great...

It looks like the keyboard area between the keys is glossy too. And wow, it comes with Vista!

I've been waiting for someone to put one onto a netbook, but even when HP is on it's 2nd 'business' netbook they forget the eraser nub.

I have such wood for an Ion netbook right now, I'm about to break.

Seriously, as soon as I can get a netbook with the free Win7 upgrade coupled with Ion, I'm in. I might even give up on hope for a 330, even though it's been demonstrated in a few lesser-known mfg. configurations on this site already.

One week. One week, Justin. One week.

It has a combo eSATA/USB port, and all the ports appear to be in good locations. Good keyboard. Nice trackpad and buttons, though the lack of multi-touch might be a deal breaker.

Presumably the materials will be impressive, though they just look like plastic in the photos, so we'll have to see. Sounds like the magnesium allow might just be on the inside bottom frame, and all the stuff you see is just plastic...

Can't tell what the upgrade options are... no access from the bottom that I can see, other than that what? business card holder?

Sounds like a Gobi-based flexi-WWAN is going to be an option. A mini-PCI card? Something else?

Doesn't say anything about 802.11n so presumably just the usual 802.11b/g. Big deal.

I guess the speakers are arrayed along the front edge? Hard to tell exactly. Hopefully something half-decent.

The four cell might be a nice option. Doesn't say its lithium polymer. So it probably isn't.]]>Jun 24th 2009 1:17AM
