[CoLoCo] New HP Mini-Note enters the Ultra Mobile PC Market

[siblog]

I don't even know why they offer Vista on these machines, they can barely
run it. Why not make it optional for SUSE or XP since these computers should
be able to handle them with ease. I bet the performance is fine with SUSE
running but I would also like to see a review of it.

No word as to when or if it will hit local stores. I personally think I am
going to wait to see what the Dell model looks like before I make a
decision. I am guessing (and hoping) that Dell offers Ubuntu on their model.
