We've waited a long time with bated breath for news of an Atom-packing HP 2133 Mini Note for a while and, lo and behold, that's exactly what HP has just gone and announced. Not that the announcement is a surprise; we predicted this after spotting the HP Mini 1000 advertised on HP's site earlier in the week.

We didn't, however, expect there to be two systems, not that we're complaining. The HP Mini 1000 (above) and the Compaq Mini 700 (below), as the systems are called, are pretty much the same netbook under the surface, but the 700 goes that step further, offering integrated HSDPA.

Otherwise the systems line-up as follows:

1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU
10.2in screen
8GB or 16GB or SSD storage
Bluetooth, wireless
1.1Kg, 25.55mm thin chassis

The all-important figures?
HP Mini 1000 - £399 inc. VAT, from mid-February 2009
HP Mini 700 - £299 inc. VAT, mid-December

Tempted, anyone?

Update - 29/10/08 @ 17:03: Mini 700 price is sans HSDPA. HSDPA version to be sold by network operators.

My head is full of Nehalem, I can't cope with this netbook stuff as well.

Yeah I'm confused by that as well...seems there must be some mistake with the pricing.

However I am still tempted to go for the 700, any idea what networks it w... more
