HP Keeps the Minis Coming with Mini 1101 and 110 XP/Mi Editions

Hewlett-Packard is serious about the netbook business, and has announced three new additions to its HP Mini line. The HP Mini 1101 will be available with a user’s choice of XP or Vista, the 110 Mi will sport Linux, and the 110 XP will offer Windows XP and be available with an optional video accelerator the company claims can handle 1080p video content.

"With these new HP Minis, we’re enhancing the customer experience by adding compelling features that allow users to interact with their Mini in a fun way," said HP’s VP and general manager for consumer notebooks Kevin Frost, in a statement. "Our broad portfolio of mini companion PCs truly offers customers choices to fit every need and every personality."

All three models will be powered by either a 1.6 Ghz or 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N270 or N280 processor, with the Mini 110 and Mini 1101 offering a number of built-to-order options. All models feature a 5-in0-1 media card reader and VGA output.

The HP Mini 110 XP will support up to 1 GB of memory and will be available with either a 160 GB hard drive or a 32 GB SSD; available options will include WWAN support for mobile connectivity and an optional Broadcomm Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerator HP says enables the Mini 100 XP to handle 1080p video content. Meanwhile, the Mini 1101 will be available with either XP Home, XP Pro, or Windows Vista and will be available with either 3- or 6-cell batteries, along with an HP Mobile Broadband option. The Mini 110 Mi will run a Linux operating system and will support up to 20 GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive.

The Mini 110 XP and Mini 110 Mi should be available in the U.S. on June 10 in a "black swirl" design for $329.99 and $279.99, respectively; pink and white editions of the Mini 110 XP should land in early July, although pricing hasn’t been set. The Mini 1101 will be available in high-gloss black on June 1 for $329.

HP is refreshing its EliteBook and ZBook notebooks, bringing to creators some of the latest silicon and tech features, like Intel's 11th-Gen processors, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and even always-on 4G LTE network access. Consumers and those working from home during this global pandemic will also be happy to know that in addition to the promised performance this refresh brings, HP is also making it easy to sanitize these laptops.

While the laptops down can be wiped down with common household wipes, you can also activate HP's Easy Clean mode with a push of a button. This disables all the inputs on the device -- like the touchscreen, keyboard, and trackpad -- so you can wipe down the EliteBook and ZBook models without having to turn off your system, making these laptops perfect for mobile productivity during the global pandemic.

How to play Fortnite on Mac

A new iMac and Mac Mini are on the way, a noted leaker has suggested in a recent tweet. The CoinX Twitter account posted a cryptic tweet simply reading “iMac/Mac mini,” followed by a “Soon” emoji -- while the tweet was light on detail, there are reasons to believe its veracity.

According to MacRumors, CoinX has a reliable track record when it comes to Apple leaks, sharing information regarding the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR names before they were common knowledge, as well as the “Pro” name for the latest iPhone models. It has also leaked accurate details about the 10.2-inch iPad and 10.5-inch iPad Air, suggesting it has well-placed sources somewhere in the Apple supply chain.
