HP Mininote 2 - When Where and with What?

[R3MF]

Is there any news of a new HP mininote to replace the 2133?

I love the design and ruggedness, but the hardware inside is terrible, however it would seem they have a chance to leapfrog the performance of every single other netbook in existence.

Use the Via Nano CPU, better than the Atom for most purposes.

Use the ULV version of the new nVidia MCP79 GPU which is rumoured to also be used in the new MBA.

This would result in a netbook that is actually useful, which would be a nice change.

Oddly enough, i found a petition that asks for exactly that:

What do you think?

We have one of the mininotes at work and it suffers with the 1.2GHz chip, if only they would release the1.6GHz version over here it would easily be one of the better netbooks due to its build and being able to use it for hours on end. The 1.2GHz we have here we stuck XP on and in most cases its perfect but once you start playing large video files it slows down and stutters.

Misco sell the 1.6Ghz version
