Compaq Presario’s new 4.41- x 10.71- x 9.69-inch box is another nettop for your consideration, and it goes by CQ2009F. Of course, those in Taiwan probably know it as the mini-Q , but that name was too cool before it arrived in America. The so-called nettop has an Intel Atom 230 CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, GMA 950 graphics set, a 160GB 7,200RPM hard drive, Ethernet, integrated audio, a 6-in-1 card reader, a few USB 2.0 ports, VGA output running WIndows XP.

HP Compaq’s Mini 700 now on sale in Europe
To our knowledge, neither HP nor Compaq (nor HP Compaq, for the record) have uttered a single word about the clearly real Mini 700. After going a few months without hearing an update, we now have reports that it is widely available overseas. According to NotebookItalia, said netbook will boast a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, GMA950 integrated graphics, 10.2-inch display (1,204 x 600), 1GB of DDR2 RAM, webcam / microphone, an integrated card reader, audio in / out, Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports and a pair of Altec Lansing speakers. Additionally, the Italian version (at least) includes a 3-cell battery and Windows XP Home while providing optional WiFi, Bluetooth and HSDPA. Curiously, the quoted price for the now-shipping unit is up one hundred quid to £399 ($594), though it’s difficult to tell if that’s a baseline rig or a fully loaded machine. Anyone across the pond care to chime in? Read
