HP Home & Home Office has now made available the 11.6” Mini 311 notebook and 10.1” HP Mini 110 netbooks with Windows 7.
For the HP Mini 311, upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium from XP Home is a $50 upgrade. For the HP Mini 110 series, the upgrade from XP Home to Windows 7 Starter costs $30. You can also upgrade to a 250GB HDD if you choose Windows 7 Starter.
There’s also the HP Mini 110 Tord Boontje Edition which only ships with Windows 7 Starter.
There’s also a whole other bunch of HP products with Windows 7. No sign of the 11.6” HP Pavilion DM1 though…
Thanks Sey Hee!

Multiple monitors: No
Desktop Wallpaper Changeable: No
Various other limitations
$30 for an OS thats is crippled so badly & worse than XP Home? Hmmm, I dunno, this is quite the tough choice indeed…. </sarcasm>
Hah, the corporations have set us up in a bit of a trap:
Get a netbook with Windows 7 Starter to get rid of the hardware limitations but suffer through the software limitations, or the other way around. I’ll just be waiting for the other ION based netbooks to release, and probably install my own license of Win7 on it.
