AT&T Debuts HP Mini 110 Netbook with 3G Connectivity

HP Mini 110

The idea of buying a subsidized netbook PC with built-in 3G mobile access might seem like a nifty way to stay in touch with colleagues and friends on the go…and AT&T is hoping consumers will act on that initial feeling when it offers up an HP Mini 110 netbook PC for $199 beginning next week. AT&T is subsidizing a bit of the cost of the netbook to make it more appealing to consumers, but it’s important to bear in mind that the netbook pricing only applies with a new two-year service plan, and those run at least $35 per month.  Read more...

HP TouchSmart 300 Review

touchsmart-300-front

Introduction

HP’s third-generation TouchSmart PC lineup, represented here by the TouchSmart 300, is the best family-friendly computer we’ve laid our fingers on. The company’s TouchSmart interface is better than ever and its engineers have begun to expand the computer’s repertoire to include voice commands.

We don’t think that will be an issue with this machine.  Read more...
