HP Mini 100e netbook targeted at classrooms
June 23, 2010 at 10:28 am
HP has added a new model to its netbook roster, the HP Mini 100e Education Edition. This looks like a classmate PC in design and is targeted at schools rather than the wider market. The palm rest, base and lid can be customised with the school’s logo.
The case and hinges are reinforced and it also comes with an integrated carry handle and spill-proof keyboard. The outer lid also comes with a LED network activity lid so teachers can spot which kids are surfing the net when they’re meant to by working!
The Mini 100e comes with a 1.66-GHz Intel Atom N455 processor, up to 2GB of RAM, a matte 10.1-inch (1024 x 600-pixel) display, and a 5,400-rpm 160GB HDD. You’ll also get two USB ports, VGA, Ethernet, and a modem port for developing countries. The HP Mini 100e Education Edition goes on sale in July with various pricing bundles.

Early impressions of Dell Mini 10 filtering through
March 2, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Electronista has posted its early impressions of the Dell Mini 10 from an early review unit. Some of the main points coming through was the solid build construction, the multi-touch trackpad and an edge-to-edge keypad which proved comfortable to use. In fact, they feel that Apple may have to start eating their words regarding all Netbooks not really ‘working’ given their cramped keyboards.
Some more pics after the jump.
