HP announced three new netbooks in the Mini line today: The 210 (consumer), 5102 (business) and 2102 (both?). They're pretty standard next-gen netbooks, except for the 5102's odd touchscreen option.
Those looking for new Windows 7 hardware might want to head to Best Buy tomorrow—according to our source, they're set to debut an HP package with a desktop, monitor, laptop, netbook, and router, ridiculously priced at $1200.
If the first Vivienne Tam branded HP Mini wasn't flashy enough for you, there is always this season's digital clutch that was unveiled last night at NYC's Fashion Week. If butterflies and gold are your thang you will love it.
It's safe to say we've hit the third generation of netbooks. They're nice now. The HP Mini 5105 strikes at Asus Eee Seashell's fancily contoured plastic with aluminum and magnesium. Oh yeah, and 95-percent chiclet keyboard that feels fantastic.
HP revealed a couple of new 10.1" screened netbooks for its Mini line. They'll be offered in both Windows and Linux versions, and one model, the 110, even has an optional graphics accelerator which HP claims can produce seamless 1080p playback.
All the details leaked out a few days ago, and now Verizon's officially announced the 10.1" netbook and its sorta-pricey plan. It'll be available online and in stores May 17th. [Boy Genius Report]
Boy Genius Report has it on very good faith that Verizon will be bringing out the HP Mini 1151NR netbook on May 17th, which not-so-coincidentally is the same date Verizon is releasing the MiFi.
Verizon spokesperson Brenda Raney confirmed that Verizon will begin selling 3G-enabled netbooks by June, a statement no doubt encouraged by the leak of a possible Verizon sales sheet featuring an HP Mini netbook.
