It's a small form factor notebook, just like the Asus Eee and the HP 2133. Michael
Dell wouldn't tell Gizmodo what OS it's running, or the pricing, but that it's a low-cost notebook meant for developing countries. From
the pictures posted up you can see three USB ports, a card reader and VGA out. Many in the industry refer to laptops like the HP 2133 and Asus Eee as
"netbooks" aimed at the developing world and general consumers.
Dell has not released pricing or specifications for this new

"HP is working diligently with Microsoft on a software update and will
be proactively distributing a patch this week through HP Update that will prevent this error from occurring," said the computer giant in a statement.
"HP recommends consumers with AMD-based desktops wait until after HP's or Microsoft's updates have been deployed on their systems to install
Service Pack 3."

DisplayPort mini idea from? It seems as if they came up with the idea to design, fabricate and now push the small form factor display port
themselves. It's also astonishing because mini-DisplayPort is following in the foot trails of mini-VGA and mini-DVI which all were wildly

HP has recently come under fire from the Boston Globe, who have reported that Redington Gulf, a third-party based in Dubai has been selling HP
printers in Iran for 11 years, since 1997. HP has partnered with them, but if the partnership began with knowledge that printers will be sold in
Iran by Redington Gulf, HP could face trade sanctions, as the US currently prohibits exports to Iran. HP claims that it fully complies with US export
laws, but further investigation yielded conflicting answers. In the late 1990s, before the partnership began, an HP executive had talked about sales
in Iran and HP's desire to be in the market.
