HP mulling lower cost Mini-Note laptop {Engadget}
Jul 24th 2008 6:32PM Obviously, it's not going to have a pretty aluminum case anymore. They're switching to plastic, which they think people will see as less durable. Personally, I think the plastic is probably more durable, but definitely less attractive.
The only reason I didn't buy one of these is that stinky Via CPU. If it used a faster CPU, I would already have one. Instead, I have an Eee 900. Sure, make it cheaper without the aluminum, but put a decent CPU in it this time around and you'll sell a lot more Mr. HP.

Anyone know if somebody has hacked this to put an Isaiah in it yet? It is supposed to be pin-compatible, but do the drivers and bios support it?
Also, I've heard you can't video chat using Skype because the CPU sucks so bad. Does this change if you use XP Pro?
Ask Engadget HD: Which HD DVD player upconverts the best? {Engadget HD}
Apr 10th 2008 10:53PM I own both an upscaling DVD player (Panasonic) and a Toshiba HD A35. I can tell you for certain that the upscaled DVD picture quality coming out of the Toshiba HD unit is far superior to the upscaling Panasonic DVD player. Both were connected to Sony 52" LCD. Both played the same source DVDs. In fact, I was surprised there was such a big difference in the quality.
Cox adds five HD channels to Las Vegas lineup {Engadget HD}
Dec 14th 2007 1:37PM Quick correction - I meant Direct TV, not Dish. *sigh* so annoyed by Cox atm that I'm mis-speaking.
Cox adds five HD channels to Las Vegas lineup {Engadget HD}
Dec 14th 2007 1:29PM Yes, the new channels went live with a HUGE catch. I'm one of the few who watch ONLY the HD channels (minus movie channels). So as a result, I don't pay for extended basic cable. I pay for digital + HD figuring that's really all I want is HD. Well, I used to get Discovery HD Theatre and now I get Discovery Destination in its place. Plus, I don't get most of the newly added HD channels, including Discovery HD Theatre. It appears that Cox pulled a fast one on us long-time HD subscribers. Those new channels pop up a dialog telling me to contact Cox to purchase them. I'm assuming this means they want me to buy extended basic in order to get these few new "extended(?!)" HD stations. To me this is just wrong considering how far behind Cox has always been on HD content. I've patiently waited for the long-promised HD content to show up on Cox and when it does they bend me over to get it. I'm strongly considering switching to Dish as a result. From what I see, when you buy HD on Dish, you get a lot more HD channels (even if some of the HD they provide is only pseudo-HD).
