HP Mini 2140 - netbook - highres

[Izi]

Has anyone seen this: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/321957-321957-64295-3841267-306995-3872994.html

To be released the end of this month hopefully. Has all the usual characteristics of a netbook, but also has a higher screen resolution: 1366x768.

The resolution on the NC10 is the main reason I haven't bought one but if this HP Mini 2140 is anywhere near as good as it looks i'll be picking one up.

Price starting from $499, so around £300?

better res in my opinion than the current options but still not exactly hi-res when you compare it with the (admittedly pricey) sony vaio p and its 8" 1600x768 (iirc) display. I'd also guess you can knock the price up by about £150 for the high res screen as well.

Yeah but it costs about £900 and the screen is 2 inches smaller than the HP. It also has a button pointer rather than touchpad which I dont like.

The "HP Compaq Mini 700" is the UK equivalent of the 1000.

It's £300, so I REALLY can't see the 2140 being less than £450.
The Vivienne Tam (red) 1000 is also on sale in the UK at around £400+

i'd pay up to £500 for one of these. I get VAT back as purchasing for business so not so much of a problem. I think the aluminium case, high res, low weight etc all make this worth a little extra than the likes of the NC10.
