Acer netbook gets 1080p HD upgrade with Broadcom BCM70012 mod

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jul 27th 2009 No Comments

Netbooks generally fall flat when it comes to high-definition video playback, with Intel’s GMA 950 graphics chipset struggling even with 720p clips.  Broadcom’s BCM70012 video accelerator changes all that, though; a mini PCI-e card, it can handle up to 1080p video with minimal CPU strain on the host system.  So far it’s tough finding a netbook with the Broadcom card as an option – HP offer it as an option for their Mini 110 XP – but that didn’t stop Terracode from upgrading their 8.9-inch Acer Aspire One with the HD accelerator.

HP Mini 110 XP Edition now available in pink and white

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jul 8th 2009 1 Comment

If you’ve been holding off on picking up one of HP’s Mini 110 series netbooks because you’ve wanted it in pink or white (what, really?) then today is the day to flex your credit-card.  HP have unleashed the two new color versions of their 110 XP Edition, meaning you can have the 10.1-inch Atom N270/N280 netbook in sober black, coquettish pink or lost-in-a-snowstorm white.

Update: HP have also added the Broadcom HD Video Accelerator option to the Mini 110, priced at $30 (Thanks Peter!)

HP Mini 110 reviewed: their best netbook yet

By Chris Davies on Thursday, May 28th 2009 No Comments

HP’s new Mini 110 has been rocking the test bench of our friends over at LaptopMag, and the 10-inch netbook has not disappointed.  Described as “the company’s best netbook for consumers yet”, the Mini 110 scores points for its excellent keyboard and extra ports over the previous-gen Mini 1000, but loses love for the awkward mouse buttons.

HP Mini 1101, 110 XP and 110 Mi netbooks announced

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, May 27th 2009 No Comments

HP have announced three new models in their Mini netbook range, in the shape of the 1101, 110 XP and 110 Mi.  Based around a 10.1-inch LED-backlit LCD and either Intel’s Atom N270 or N280 processors, the new netbooks have GMA 950 graphics while the Mini 110 XP throws in a Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerator good, apparently, for 1080p video.
