HP Mini 1101 gets optional upgrades

Users have an option to add a 6-cell battery and a 32GB SSD

HP Mini 1101 netbook

HP started taking orders for the HP Mini 1101 netbook way back in May. At that time users did not have any major configuration options but, now when a user orders the Mini 1101 from HP’s website he/she can either choose one from 2 pre-configured models or can customize his/her own netbook.

The first pre-configured model comes with a 10.1-inch (1,024x576 pixel) display, 1GB RAM, Windows XP operating system, and a 160GB hard disk. The price of this model is $329. The second pre-configured model has the same specs as the first one but comes with an internal 3G module capable of connecting to wireless broadband networks like AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.

The customizable versions start from $427 and the prices go beyond $600 if one adds a 6-cell battery, 32GB SSD, and a 3G module. Still, there is no option for a higher resolution screen and the Durakey finish. HP might add other options to this netbook soon as it doesn’t make sense to pay a hefty amount for such minor configuration changes.
