14 DAY TRIAL // HP presented several mobile computing devices today, all of them of the highly mobile variety, but only one can really classify as a netbook, that being the Mini 210 that will only arrive next month.
The EliteBook and ProBook models that were officially revealed not long ago are definitely not the only products that HP will unleash.
In fact, it appears that the world-leading supplier of systems has also prepared a sort of update to a certain other series of highly mobile laptops.
While the EliteBook and ProBook fit into the ultraportable/ultrathin notebook category, the new HP Mini 210 is a netbook through and through.
Verily, this line is not really a new one, but HP does plan to provide users with a new such netbook starting on June 15, 2011.
As some may be aware, the base Mini 210 model has an Intel Atom N455 central processing unit, with a clock of 1.66 GHz.
The new machine will have the option of a dual-core, 1.5 GHz Atom N550, as well as a better screen than the standard unit (also optional).
More specifically, instead of a native resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels, the better LCD will support HD (1,366 x 768 pixels).
What's more, HP threw in the Beats audio system, giving the Mini 210 a sound quality higher than most netbooks usually deliver.
The other asset is the QuickWeb 3.0 software, which allows one to connect to the Internet almost as soon as they start the netbook itself.
The folks over at Engadget managed to get their hands on the upcoming device for a short while, finding that the variety of color options was a nice treat, as was the tactile feedback on the keyboard.
Once sales commence next month, prospective buyers will have to be willing to part with at least $299.99.
