In mid-October Verizon announced that it was adding the HP Mini 110 netbook to its line of subsidized netbooks. Today AT&T has announced that it is also adding the Mini 110 to its own line of subsidized netbooks. The two machines are identical and the only thing that separates them is the network they run on.

If you have the money, a recession is the time to buy all sorts of things. Prices on homes are lower, cars are often cheaper, and stock prices on businesses tend to be at lower prices than years with a strong economy.

HP’s Envy range promises MacBook style at mainstream prices, but is there a gap in-between the 13.1-inch Envy 13 and the 15-inch Envy 15? HP seem to think so; according to a support page on the company’s site there’s an Envy 14 on the horizon, which we’d presume would offer a 14-inch display.
NVIDIA’s Ion LE promises to deliver the same 1080p HD playback as its regular Ion sibling, but at a cheaper price; to do that, it drops DirectX 10 support in favor of solely accommodating DX9. It turns out that the limitation is, in fact, an arbitrary one and that the Ion LE seems to have been artificially crippled by NVIDIA themselves; MyHPMini forum member runawayprisoner found that by slightly modifying HP’s own Ion drivers he could get them to install for the Ion LE.

Looks like Dell’s SX2200T won’t have the whole multitouch monitor playground to itself. HP have announced a new, Windows 7 compatible touchscreen display, the HP Compaq L2105tm, a Full HD 1920 x 1080 LCD with an optical touchscreen supporting one- and two-finger control. There’s also, for those old-school moments, a plastic stylus hidden in a nook round back.
HP unveiled its new Mini 311 and Mini 110 netbooks back in September to the delight of netbook fans everywhere. Today Verizon wireless has announced that it is going to be offering both netbooks at a subsidized price with its 3G mobile broadband service. The Mini 311 won’t land until Windows 7 launches in a few days though.
HP is the largest computer maker in the world and as such, it is always offering new and updated products for its customers. HP has gone official with the announcement of the dv8 multimedia notebook in the UK along with updates to its dv7 and dv6 notebooks. We already know about the dv8 from its September unveiling here in the US.
HP’s leaked consumer device catalog at the end of September warned us that the company had a new, 11.6-inch CULV notebook in the works, and sure enough HP Japan have just announced the new machine. The HP Pavilion DM1 gets a dual-core 1.2GHz Intel Celeron SU2300 processor along with 2GB of RAM (5GB supported), a 250GB 5,400rpm hard-drive and Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics chipset.
