What’s your definition of a netbook?

by Brad Linder02/01/201102/01/2011 42 Comments on What’s your definition of a netbook?

When the first Asus Eee PC hit the streets in 2007, nobody called it a netbook. The term didn’t really pick up steam until 2008 after Intel and some PC makers started using it to describe products that had previously been known as mini-notes, or just cheap tiny laptops. Over the years, the definitions have […]

HP unveils HP 2140 Mini-Note

by Brad Linder01/06/200907/07/2011 10 Comments on HP unveils HP 2140 Mini-Note

HP has announced the sucessor to the HP 2133 Mini-Note. What, you thought they’d already done that? Nope, the HP Mini 1000 is something completely different. The new HP 2140 Mini-Note looks exactly like the original HP netbook, with a sleek aluminum case and excellent keyboard (and not so excellent touchpad). But looks can be […]

HP to launch 10 inch Mini-Note with Intel Atom CPU?

by Brad Linder08/07/200807/10/2015 1 Comment on HP to launch 10 inch Mini-Note with Intel Atom CPU?

DigiTimes is reporting that HP has tapped Inventec to build a 10 inch laptop using an Intel Atom CPU. The report says the PC will sport a 1024 x 576 pixel display which honestly sounds a bit… crazy. HP’s current Mini-Note lineup uses an 8.9 inch, 1280 x 768 display. I’d be surprised if HP […]

What to expect from Computex

by Brad Linder05/31/200807/10/2015 5 Comments on What to expect from Computex

The Computex technology trade show starts on Tuesday, and while there will be over 1700 exhibitors, there are some companies and products that are worth keeping a closer eye on than others. AsusAsus will probably introducing a few dozen devices at Computext. OK, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but over the past […]

Handmade HP Mini-Note case

by Brad Linder05/26/200807/10/2015 6 Comments on Handmade HP Mini-Note case

HP doesn’t ship a case or even a slipcover with the HP 2133 Mini-Note. The computer comes with very little packaging, which I appreciate. But when you open the box, all you’ll find a computer, battery, power cord, and a disc or two. That’s it. Since the Mini-Note is smaller than most laptops, if you […]

Installing MinBuntu 8.04 with a USB stick

by Brad Linder05/17/200807/10/2015 1 Comment on Installing MinBuntu 8.04 with a USB stick

As I reported earlier today, Lee over at the MiniNote User forums has posted a custom version of Ubuntu 8.04 that includes out of the box support for the HP Mini-Note’s WiFI and video hardware. The MinBuntu download link is pretty slow, but after a few hours of waiting (im)patiently, I managed to get a […]

MinBuntu: Ubuntu 8.04 custom built for the HP Mini-Note

by Brad Linder05/17/200807/10/2015 4 Comments on MinBuntu: Ubuntu 8.04 custom built for the HP Mini-Note

Installing Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on an HP Mini-Note is about as easy as downloading the ISO, burning it to a CD and hitting the install button from Windows or booting from the LiveCD. But getting the WiFi, sound, and graphics drivers working properly is another story. Lee over at the MiniNote User forums has […]

by Brad Linder05/16/200807/10/2015 1 Comment on Eee PC 901 available June 3rd, for under $650

The Asus Eee PC 900 has only been available for a few weeks, but Asus is already planning to launch its next, next generation Eee PC on June 3rd. DigiTimes reports that’s when the company will launch the Eee PC 901, which we caught a first glimpse of just a few days ago. The Eee […]

Suspicion confirmed: The Mini-Note is hot — too hot

by Brad Linder05/15/200807/10/2015 6 Comments on Suspicion confirmed: The Mini-Note is hot — too hot

A few weeks ago I remarked that the HP Mini-Note, like most laptops, gets rather warm when you place it on your lap. In fact, I think the Mini-Note gets hotter than pretty much any other computer I’ve used. Joanna Stern of Laptop Magazine agreed that the Mini-Note at least feels hotter than most laptops. […]

HP uploads Mini-Note SuSE Linux restore disc images

by Brad Linder05/14/200807/10/2015 3 Comments on HP uploads Mini-Note SuSE Linux restore disc images

Update: Upon closer inspection, this is not a restore disc image. Rather, it’s a disc image that contains the software HP added to SuSE Enterprise Linux for the Mini-Note. Theoretically you could download and install SuSE on your own and then use this disc to restore your system to the state it was in when […]

Asus Eee PC 900 and HP Mini-Note Linux boot comparison

by Brad Linder05/12/200809/07/2021 2 Comments on Asus Eee PC 900 and HP Mini-Note Linux boot comparison

Most of the HP Mini-Note reviews and writeups have focused on its performance with Windows Vista or XP. And while I ordered the version running SUSE, I installed Windows XP within a few hours of opening the box. So I never got the chance to compare the out of the box Linux experience on the […]

HP offers new Mini-Note configurations, customization options

by Brad Linder05/12/200807/10/2015 5 Comments on HP offers new Mini-Note configurations, customization options

HP has three new options for anyone who wants to order a pre-configured Mini-Note. The low end machines are pretty much the same, but once you’re willing to spend $729 or more you get the option to “downgrade” from Windows Vista Business to Windows XP Pro. I won’t get into all the specs, but the […]
