HP recently refreshed their HP Mini 210 range of netbooks to make way for the dual core Atom CPU. The HP Mini 210 is now available with the dual core processor, or a single core. HP have also updated the design a little bit and Liliputing have got their hands on the latest model.

The lid on the netbook has a matte finish and is available in a choice of five colors: black, red, blue, purple or pink. The design of the track pad and keyboard haven’t changed much, the most obvious difference is the base of the laptop. The new Mini 210 comes with a 6 cell battery, with the 3 cell battery option gone. The base has been redesigned for the bigger battery and now the back and bottom “sits flush” with the battery.

The basic configuration model comes in black with a single core CPU, the Intel Atom N455, along with 1GB of RAM, which will set you back $329.00. Brad Linder notes however, that the HP Mini 210, may come with more configuration options than any other netbook, which seems very likely. You can upgrade the processor, amount of RAM, as well as add a Broadcom Crystal HD Video accelerator, or a HD display, capable of outputting a resolution of 1366×768. Windows can also be upgraded from Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium. Opting to go with the top specs for the netbook however, could take you over the $500 mark.

The new Toshiba NB305 netbook might not differ much from its Pinetrail Atom N450-toting brethren, but it does still have that pizzazz which only a Toshiba netbook has by way of a solid-looking case design and smooth flowing curved edges. Besides Intel’s new Atom processor clocked at 1.66GHz, the Toshiba NB305 boasts 250 GB of storage space, 1 GB of RAM, 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. The bundled 6-cell battery is rated to go up to 11 hours before getting drained while the chiclet keyboard and extra-wide trackpad make it even a sweeter deal. How much of a deal exactly? $350. See some more photos of the NB305 at the link below.

The lucky guys over at Laptop Mag have, as they put it, finally got their hands on the upcoming netbook from Nokia. In previous articles it’s been compared to the MacBook Air and this hands on is no different. It’s noted that while the netbook is slim and sleek at 19.99mm it’s heavier than expected at 2.6 pounds. Like the MacBook Air, the Nokia Booklet is constructed from a single piece of metal which adds the weight to the netbook but, gives it a beautiful aluminium chassis. Also adding to the weight of the netbook is an impressive 16 cell battery designed in the netbook and not sticking out. This gives the netbook up to 12 hours battery life.

Like most netbooks with glossy lids, unfortunately it picks up finger prints very easily. In the video we see the netbook in Aquamarine blue but, it’s also available in white. On the inside it features seamless edge to edge glass display, also found on the MacBook Air. However Laptop Mag feel the display could have been bigger than 10 inches by maker the bezel smaller. It’s also the same case with the keyboard, it feels like it could have been bigger and feels more cramped than other keyboards found on 10 inch netbooks.

You can view the video hands on here as embedding is, unfortunately not available.

Lenovo’s reworked 10-inch IdeaPad S10-2 netbook fell into our hands recently and we were able to do a quick test drive with it, as well as compare it to a couple of other models. If you already have the original IdeaPad S10, it’s hard to say if you should upgrade to this “new” and slightly improved model. It does offer improvements in most of the original problem areas, though. Well, let’s take a look at it.

Did you hear? 11.6-inch is the new 10-inch, and as such, one of Acer’s newest “top-of-the-line” models sports an 11.6-inch screen instead of the usual 10-incher. You’ve seen it unboxed, but in case that’s not enough, we’ve been able to get our hands on one recently and thus, we put it through a quick hands-on test to see how it fares.

The Acer Aspire One 751 moves away from the usual netbook specs of just a few months ago and carries an Atom Z520 processor, Windows Vista, and a very slim and sexy exterior. It has so far proved to be much slimmer than any other netbook I have put against it (except perhaps the 1000HA). It is also quite light considering the size and the 11.6-inch screen really shows a noticeable difference in size compared to other models.

Announced just a little over a month ago, the Acer AspireRevo is going to be one of the hottest nettops around for quite a while, what with it being the world’s first one rocking NVIDIA Ion graphics on board and all. This small nettop is going to be Acer’s bet against the likes of the Asus EeeBOX, offering advanced graphics and multimedia features that make it a great home theater PC. I kept this in mind while testing the Acer AspireRevo earlier at an Acer event, trying to see if it really delivered on what Acer is promising on paper. Well, what I’ve gathered is very positive so far, that I think I can safely say even Asus won’t be able to offer any competition.

Said to be on track for a release in the UK next month, the 9-inch touchscreen-equipped Asus Eee PC T91 has been caught in pictures yet again, this time by UK tech site Electric Pig. Looking at what the Eee PC T91 is now, before its official release, it appears as if Asus has nearly perfected the 9-inch form factor, and considering how good the Eee PC T91 looks as both a netbook and a convertible tablet, the 10-inch Eee PC T101 is bound to be better by leaps. If you are holding off buying any more netbooks before the Eee PC T91 and T101 from Asus, then maybe the latest Eee PC T91 hands-on pictures will be enough to tide you over. See them all at the link below.

Announced recently, the curved and rubbery Samsung N310 has just been put through its very first hands-on session. In press photos, it looks quite toy-like, with its rubberized outer shell and with the huge seemingly-embossed Samsung logo behind the disaplay. In real life, however, it doesn’t look that bad. There’s a decent-sized keyboard paired with its 10-inch screen, although the bright colored chassis still seems somewhat like a distraction. Its thick profile also serves as proof of its 1.23 kg weight. However, that’s also why it manages to tout typical netbook ports and peripherals plus give up to 5 hours of battery life on a single charge. The Samsung N310 is expected to become available in Europe, Asia and the US starting May, and will sell at the $400 mark.
