HP Mini-Note bargains: Cleaning house to prep for new models?

It’s either a great time or a horrible time to pick up an HP Mini-Note. Amid speculation that HP could launch an updated model sporting a shiny new VIA Nano CPU by the end of the year, Amazon is offering rebates for up to $100 off selected Mini-Note models.

All of the models below have 8.9 inch, 1280 x 768 pixel displays and excellent keyboards.

$403.49 after rebate – HP 2133 Mini-Note with 1.2GHz VIA C7-M CPU, 1GB RAM, 120GB hard drive, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

$432.58 after rebate – HP 2133 Mini-Note with 1GHz VIA C7-M CPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB Flash storage, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

$529.99 after rebate – HP 2133 Mini-Note with 1.2GHz VIA C7-M CPU, 1GB RAM, 120GB Hard Drive, Windows Vista Home Basic

$643.99 after rebate – HP 2133 Mini-Note with 1.6GHz VIA C7-M CPU, 2GB RAM, 120GB Hard Drive, Windows Vista Business

Of course, if you wait a little while longer, you might be able to pick up a virtually identical machine with a significantly faster CPU. But there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to get it for a price like this.

Virtually identical? Why don't they add a 10-inch screen to go with their 1280 x 768 resolution? It's always struck me as ironic that only 9-inch netbooks come with higher resolution. Am I the only one who doesn't know that there aren't any 1280 x 768 10-inch screens and no one wants to make any If they cause extra battery drain, I could live with it.

Also, I've only used intel processors for the last 20 years and am nervous about switching to VIA

Put in a faster processor than the current POS Via and this could easily be the best netbook on the market. Unfortunately I would be willing to bet that it will sell for more than the $650 1.6GHx Via C7 model listed above. A bit rich for a netbook IMO. Will be interesting to see what HP comes out with.

Yes, it will probably be high end price wise, but I hope it stays in the practical netbook arena and away from the shiny, glitzy, fashionable trend.

While I'm dreaming, maybe a cheap, fast 16/32/64GB SSD would not be too much to ask…. but, with the hard drive option available, there would probably be no passive cooling.

IT always seems that just when you get a computer, it is instantly outdated. They always come out with something cheaper and much more powerful!
