Coffee Break- first Mini-Note in the wild
So I’m sitting in Starbucks working on the HP Mini-Note and look what I saw walk in the door:
It’s already started with the Mini in the wild. :) BTW, his is the $749 model same as the one I’m using on the left.
Funny thing is when I was snapping this picture of the two Minis and my friend and I were talking all about it another guy watching came up and asked us if the Via processor was stout enough to handle the Mini. After a minute he introduced himself as an employee of Via, who I didn’t even know had an office in town, and he was excited about the Via being chosen by HP. Isaiah will be available in limited quantities in June he said.

In one of your previous writings, you said that you’re located near an HP office. Is this guy an employee, or a regular, non-HP, Joe?
This guy is the regular guy that I mentioned a while back who ordered a Mini-Note right in SBUX here. He’s gotten it and loves it. :) He does not work with HP nor is affiliated, just a regular guy.
Cool.
I have yet to see a twin for my Eee in public.
did he just say Isaiah will be available in limited quantities in June or that it will be available in the HP?
Available in June in the HP Mini-note or generally? I doubt it will be in the Mini-note by June because the shipment of the VIA C7 Mininote has just started and we are only one month before June.
Amazing! I am still getting head turns when I bring mine to Starbucks here in NYC. What OS was he running?
I usually fight for a power socket with another 2 HTC Shift uers in local Statbucks.
Its great seeing less Macs with UMPC news flying around bring attention to general public
I must be doing something wrong. I took my Mini out to the local Starbucks on Monday and no one even looked twice at it! Even sitting on my desk at work in a software development company and no one stops to admire it.
My Mini’s getting a complex…where are all the admirers?
Don’t worry Pam, I envy you for your Mini… but only until Friday.

I was going to ask which Sbux, but then I saw the Joanna Stern signature! Bacon!
Besides, now I am lusting over the Lenovo Little Red Riding Hood computer. But god, that PRICE!!! Can’t Lenovo see their way to giving me a Lust Discount?!!?
