HP has introduced a new model to its Mini series of netbooks with the launch of the HP Mini 100e Education Edition netbook. This is the first product targeted at students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
The netbook features a sturdy plastic chassis with steel pins, a spill-resistant keyboard (mylar beneath the keys), and an LED light on the back of the lid so teachers can see when there’s network activity. This mini laptop also comes with a carrying handle and an integrated modem, making it suitable for use in developing or remote areas where broadband may not be available. The handle is not user-removable because HP wants as few removable parts as possible to prevent children from messing with the netbook. Therefore, RAM and hard drive are also not easily accessible.
The back panel is customizable, allowing schools or governments to customize their netbook order. Customers can also add patterns or colors to the keyboard or other case elements.
The HP Mini 100e will come with Microsoft Office 2010 Starter and Microsoft Math.
In terms of configuration, the netbook is equipped with a 10.1-inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor, GMA 3150 graphics card, 160GB hard drive, and 1GB DDR3 memory. It will work with Windows XP Home, Windows 7 Starter, or SUSE Linux 11. 802.11b/g WiFi is standard, along with 2 USB ports, a VGA output, and microphone and headphone jacks.

HP Mini 110e (with HP Mini 100e Laptop Battery weighs 3.19 pounds. It has a 92% full-size keyboard. The netbook measures 10.9″ x 9.9″ x 1.6″ HP plans to launch the HP Mini 110e, with a starting price of less than $300 for a model running Windows 7 Starter Edition. It is expected to be available worldwide in the first week of July.
While the HP Mini 110e is very similar to the Intel Classmate PC reference design, this laptop was actually designed in-house by HP. It includes many similar features, but that’s to be expected when you’re trying to develop a semi-rugged machine for educational purposes. HP also points out that the sub-$300 price is significantly lower than the $399 starting price of most Classmate PC systems.
virtually, a pre-release version of this netbook was on display at the Novell booth at Computex earlier this month. At the time, I thought it was a Classmate PC, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that its design was similar but not identical to a computer based on Intel’s reference design.
