Hewlett-Packard has announced the launch of their Mini-Notebook PC. Mini-Notebooks are hot at present and selling well in Amazon.com. These tiny notebook PC’s are commonly known as Eee PC’s and they compete with bigger names like Sony VAIO’s and Apple MacBooks. The Eee PC’s cost is around 300 + US $ while the big branded notebooks sell for 1000 US $ +.While HP may be new to the Eee PC segment and it’s pricing around $500 for a mini-notebook, its brand value may keep it ahead of others. Many other pc manufacturers will start venturing into the Eee PC type mini notebooks in the forthcoming days.
The mini-note from HP weighs 2.6 pounds (1.1 kilograms). It has an 8.9 inch screen with a resolution of 1280×768. An optional webcam would be there. It could work as a primary computer with either SUSE Linux or Win XP or Vista with its 160 GB disk space.
The keyboard for the HP’s mini-note is just 8 percent smaller than the ordinary typing area which would make it comfortable for fingers.
HP is targeting school students and business travelers for their mini-note. It is hoped that HP’s high end technology expertise would give a leading edge to its mini-note in the Eee PC segment.
