HP Taiwan launches limited edition Mini 110 in pink
July 31, 2009
I think this is one for the ladies, although I’m sure there are a few lads out there that are into pink as well, but HP’s new special edition of the Mini 110 actually comes in a rather stylish pink and black combo.
The lid features an intricate pattern of flowers, while the keyboard, touchpad and wrist rest comes in a matching pink colour. The screen bezel and bottom remains black, unlike most previous pink netbooks that we’ve seen that have been a combination of pink and white.
On the hardware side of things there’s nothing much to get excited about here, it has an Atom N280 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, Windows XP, 802.11b/g WiFi and a 1,024×576 resolution 10.1-inch display. The price is farly steep, as it’s retailing for €429/$606, but remember that this really is a limited edition as HP has only made 1,000 units and they’re to be sold exclusivlely in Taiwan.
The pink edition of the Mini 110 went on pre-order yesterday and customers purchasing it at the AP show (a consumer IT show in Taipei) will also get a complimentary €35/$49 worth of Dior makeup. Now that’s a deal if I’ve ever heard of one…

Asus finally launches the Eee PC 1004DN
July 24, 2009
It was almost as if Asus was hoping that world+dog was going to forget about its Eee PC 1004DN, but the company has now finally gone and launched the 1004DN, at least in Taiwan. To freshen up your memory if you’ve forgotten what’s so special about the 1004DN, it’s the first netbook with a built in optical drive and it’s also so far the only netbook to use the Intel GN40 chipset.
Other features include an Atom N280 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 120GB 1.8-inch hard drive that uses a ZIF interface, a finger print scanner for biometric securtiy, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, a 1.3Megapixel webcam, an ExpressCard 34 slot, a multi-touch touchpad and three USB 2.0 ports. It also has a 10.2-inch display with 1,024×600 resoluton.
The supplied 6-cell battery is rated at 5.9h of usage and it makes the 1004DN quite heavy at 1.45kg. Pricing in Taiwan for the 1004DN is €429/$608, which makes it a fairly expensive netbook and we have a feeling that the 1.8-inch hard drive will hamper its performance. Besides, do you really use an optical drive these days?
