HP's new 10.1-inch Mini 110 mini-notebook comes in three colors with options for storage (solid state or 2.5" HDD), OS (Win XP or HP's Mobile Internet), resolution and battery.

SHOWCASE: The HWM Malaysia and Singapore team were flown to Beijing last week to cover HP’s Touching the Future product unveiling by the Personal Systems Group (PSG) from HP Asia Pacific and Japan.

According to HP, consumer habits and usage of the Web have changed so much, that products today need to integrate these activities into their functionality to satisfy the need of the current Web generation.

Anticipating this shift, HP unveiled mini-notebooks, laptops, all-in-one PCs to regular desktops at the event. The star of the show was naturally the new HP Mini 110, which comes in three color options, two storage options and two resolution options on a standard 10.1-inch screen.

What’s impressive this time though is the option of two battery packs - the standard 3-cell Lithium-ion battery keeps the weight at 1.06kg but the 6-cell battery option lets the user use it two times longer than usual.

The HP Mini 110 is expected to cost US$299 and up and will be available from 28 May 2009 (Black Swirl version). The Pink Chic and White Swirl versions will be due 30 June 2009. (more…)
