Devastated that you won’t be able to nab an HP Slate 500 in time for the holidays ? How about a brand new HP business netbook as a consolation? The Mini 1103 looks a lot like the consumer Mini 210 but drops the colorful lid options as it’s more for Suits in search of an affordable mini-laptop. Starting at $299, the 10.1-inch netbook is available with Intel Atom N455 and N475 processor options, 1GB of RAM, three- and six-cell batteries, and your choice of Windows 7 Starter, SUSE Linux, or FreeDOS OS. Obviously, if you’re looking for a higher-end netbook with an HD display, touchscreen, dual-core processor, and more durable aluminum lid, there’s still the $399 Mini 5103 , but the Mini 1103 does have HP’s business applications, including QuickSync and QuickWeb.
