You might have already seen pictures of HP’s new Mini 210 netbook when it was first spotted in an online store, but you know nothing beats the real thing, right? Which makes the fact that a random passerby has seen and photographed this said netbook sitting nonchalantly in a Costco in Hillsboro, Oregon all the more exciting. And not only that, it’s also a bit confusing, because a sign near the HP Mini 210 pictured above lists specs and a price that doesn’t quite match what we first saw online. It’s a fair bit more expensive and comes with a slightly less spacious hard drive. It might be Costco’s profit margin, but who knows? Maybe the prices will settle down a bit in a matter of days when this model becomes available in other stores all across the world.

So we’ve read the specs of the upcoming netbook/CULV notebook from HP and we’ve seen the machine in action handling Call of Duty 4 smoothly, now it’s time to see it up close and personal. The lucky folks at Blogeee have got hold of the upcoming HP Mini 311 and have taken many photos of it.

Firstly, while it is noted as the HP Mini 311, the actual branding on the netbook is that of Compaq who HP took over. In the photos, Blogeee have captured each side of the netbook, along with a look at under the battery. Also thrown in are a couple of photos showing it with the Samsung NC10.

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.

As it is already available in Asia, I was able to sit down with a live unit of the Acer Aspire One D250 today to see how different it is from the model that it replaces. As you may already know, it serves to phase out Acer’s first 10-inch netbook, which was released not more than three months ago, the Acer Aspire One D150. What’s so special about the Aspire One D250 that Acer had to introduce it even though it’s essentially just the same model as the D150 but with a better processor and slimmer profile? We’ll have the answer to that shortly.

Finding it hard to decide between the Asus Eee PC 1000H and the Samsung N120? You may already have an Eee PC 1000H lying around, and you’re looking forward to getting your hands on an N120 to see if it’s worth “upgrading” to it, but in case you just can’t wait anymore, Liliputing has posted several photos comparing the two 10-inch netbooks side-by-side. From this, we learn that while the Samsung N120 is a bit wider (and therefore bigger) than the Asus Eee PC 1000H, it’s actually quite lighter, which makes it better for carrying around. We’ll let you be the judge of which one is the best–check out the rest of the photos at the post linked to below.

Back in March, it became public knowledge that a US 3G compatible version of the UMID M1 wasn’t ready for production yet. Fast forward to today, and full working models of the said mobile Internet device are already on their way to stores. Australia-based Justek will be among those who will sell the UMID mbook M1 first in stores, and a non-HSDPA version of the said machine was recently given to Pocketables for review by them. While we’re waiting for their full review, it would be a good idea to check out the outer appearance in full, as it is exposed nicely in a lot of unboxing photos. The packaging looks pretty neat and it contains just about every accessory/plug a UMID mbook M1 user would need. A crystal case is not included, though. To see the whole set of photos, navigate to the Pocketables unboxing post with the link below.

I’ve long waited for a chance to handle the 10-inch Acer Aspire D150. Today, I just had my chance, and for the course of the next few weeks I’m going to be all about it, this post being the first in a series that showcases the device in terms of both hardware and software. I’ve been a satisfied owner of the original Acer Aspire One, the 9-inch model, so I have somewhat high hopes for this one. Hit the jump to see our little gallery of unboxing photos and read my first impressions on the hardware.

Back in July of last year, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch proposed that a “dead simple Web tablet” be built for about $200 so he can surf the Web and do other lightweight tasks like send instant messages and make quick calls with Skype on the go. Fast forward to April 2009 and this concept for a cheap mobile Internet device looks like it’s closer to becoming a reality than most people are willing to think. While some might say that the TechCrunch Tablet (a.k.a. the “CrunchPad”) is nothing but vaporware that will never see the light of day, these photos (along with several others) prove otherwise.

Pictured above is a new prototype of the CrunchPad that touts a 12-inch capacitive screen, Intel Atom processor, a custom WebKit-based browser and pretty much all of the specs that were first considered at the product’s conception. Michael Arrington is careful to note that they are still not ready to launch this device and they can’t put the pin on a price point, but whenever they’re ready, I think we just might see another revolution in the computer industry. Or maybe not. Either way, this seems like an interesting product, and I can’t wait to try it out.

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.

One of the most highly-awaited netbooks from MSI’s stable of 10-inch Winds is the MSI Wind U115 Hybrid. The word Hybrid in its name comes from the fact that it will have both an SSD and a hard drive for storage (though the SSD will be used primarily for the netbook’s OS). And besides which, the MSI Wind U115 also boasts remarkable battery life. A recent test even showed us that it can run up to 14 hours — on a single charge. That’s something you don’t see on netbooks everyday. UMPCFever just got their hands on one, and as expected they’ve done a first round of unboxing shots before the real review begins. See the full set of photos via the link to their site below.
