HP's current 10.1" Mini 210-4000 series lacks a 1366x768 display option, for example, severely hampering real-world usability. While CPU performance in AMD's Brazos hasn't set things on fire, Intel's N2800 Atom is next to impossible to find. Many manufacturers left the netbook bandwagon this year for good, despite Intel's continued support with Cedar Trail. Unfortunately, the rest of the world isn't so enthusiastic. Indeed, you would need to pry my 10" N570-based HP 210 Mini from my cold dead hands - it is STILL that good. My stellar experience with the 11.6" Nile-based HP dm1z in 2010 further proved the capability available from such a small footprint. It's pretty apparent that I have been impressed with netbooks ever since my review of the 8.9" HP 2133 mini note as far back as 2008.

More relevant, can Intel's much-touted ULV parts deliver the goods and kick AMD to the curb? Read on to get my take on this latest ultra-portable.

The good news is I have finally secured an 11.6" notebook sporting Intel's ULV Sandy Bridge. The HP Pavilion dm1 with Intel processor is expected to be available from early October at a price to be advised.It seems I owe my readers an apology of sorts as I'm not usually this late to the party.
