Rumor: 11 and 13" HP Mini-Note netbook coming?

Hewlett-Packard (HP) plans to launch new members in its Mini-note family including the Mini-note 2150 with built-in a 3G module at the beginning of June this year, according to sources at notebook makers.
Before the Mini-note 2150, HP will launch the Mini-note 2140 featuring a 10.1-inch 16:9 aspect ratio panel in the beginning of February priced starting at NT$18,900 (US$567) for the enterprise market.
HP will launch a new 11.6-inch notebook in the second quarter and a 13.3-inch low-cost model in June. Both will be part of the Mini-note family and will possibly use Intel’s Atom Zxx series processors (Menlow).
All the Mini-note notebooks and netbooks will be manufactured by Inventec.

VIA Chrome 9 HC3 graphics
a multicard reader
Ethernet / USB 2.0 ports
optional WiFi / Bluetooth

What we can comment at the moment is the graphics: Chrome 9 is similar to the graphics chip content in HP Mini Note 2133, and therefore almost equivalentead Intel GMA 950. The VX800 chipset was officially launched in April 2008 and you can find the technical characteristics of this article. Compared with Netbook NC10, NC20 maintain the same touchpad, but the card reader changes its position and move from side to sinitro front, under the status indicators.

New Eee PC 1004DN has an Intel Atom N280 1.66Ghz

Wait, another Eee PC? Oh yes. But look at the processor: it’s an Intel Atom N280, which is currently not out yet.
Anyways, here’s what we know about the new processor so far (according to liliputing ): 

The Intel Atom N280 features a 1.66GHz clock speed, compared to the 1.6GHz speed of the N270. And the N280 has a 667MHz bus, compared with the 533MHz bus on the N270.
Will users notice a major difference in performance or battery life? It’s not likely, but anything’s possible. An Asus spokesperson tells me that a handful of new Eee PC models will feature the new Intel Atom N280 CPU, while most older models will keep the N270.
Oh, and I noticed two other things when I went and took another look at this netbook for this post. It also features an ExpresCard slot and an 8-in-1 card reader instead of the usual SDHC/MMC card slot that Asus uses for Eee PC netbooks.
CNet reports the N280 also features the new GM40 chipset which will offer better graphics performance, particularly with HD video playback.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HE unveiled


A even bigger keyboard from the Eee PC 1000H – The shift has been moved to the right of the arrow keys, giving the keyboard more room. The “E” in 1000HE means “Extended”, for your information. The keyboard is also a chicklet style (like the MacBook Air) and  comes with a six-cell pack full of 2.9 amp batteries (versus 2.7 amps in the 1000H). This also comes with 8011.2n and Bluetooth, while a cheaper model, 1000HAE, won’t have these two functions.
