HP Mini Note 1000 Spotted Comments

i still see a windows key

You forgot to mention its available in black and starts at $399.99.

Fantastic. Been holding on for this update. The netbook with the best keyboard and screen, now with an Atom perhaps?

I'll never buy another HP after their absolutely terrible service following a serious hardware failure on the dv2000 series, amongst others.

I definitely hope they'll go the VIA route for added variety. I suggest they use VIA Nano U2400 (1.3 GHz) + VX800 + 2 GB RAM + Optional S3 ULP discrete GPU.

Greg, what you reference is not a HP problem per se - its the Nvidia chip issue. HP is covering the faulty nvidia product even if nvidia will not, and the problem is with nvidia products in all types of machines - Dell, IBM, etc.

Google "nvidia chip problem" for more information.

tedj - I'm not doubting that it is an Nvidia problem. However, whilst HP is making a blanket claim against Nvidia, they are only undertaking a product recall for models where there is a certain threshold of complaints. If there are not enough complaints they do not recal that model number and will happily pocked the Nvidia compensation whilst not paying out to their customers.

Greg - Every manufacturer is doing that... if you level those complaints against HP you would also have to against every other major notebook manufacturer including Dell, Apple etc. And who can blame them? If it isn't broken don't fix it and for the majority of people these nvidia cards will keep working without fault, so why spend time and resources replacing something that may potentially never be a problem?

You're missing the point. It isn't a potential problem - it is a real problem. Hardware has failed. It IS broken, so FIX IT.

How a company can recall one product and not another when they have identical components, software and BIOS but were just manufactured in a different month is beyond me. A month around which recalls HAVE been made for other months, both before and after.
