Another Tiny Laptop
April 8, 2008 at 2:00 pm by Chris
Hewlett Packard has just announced a new laptop (called the 'mini-note' at this point but still officially un-named) that weighs less than 3 pounds with a screen that measures 8.9 inches diagonally. The machines start at under $500 for a Linux-based model. Prices will go up for Windows Vista models with faster processors (clock speeds up to 1.6 gigahertz). The only major feature its Mini-Note lacks is an optical drive for ingesting DVDs and CD-ROMs, which will be able to be bought separately. You can watch a CNet video review here. This is a review from Laptop Magazine: |
