Netbook India

HP’s couple of designer netbooks based on the HP Mini 110: “Studio Tord Boontje” edition and “Vivienne Tam designer” edition was made public couple of months back. As published here, “We have come to the ‘Studio Tord Boontje’ edition is now available with Windows 7 Starter edition”. Also quoting the words, published on the website which says, “Frankly speaking, if you ask us, we won’t recommend you to buy this netbook as it runs Atom N270 which is, by no means, the most advanced and power-sipping processor. Secondly, the machine is over-priced for what it offers. 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM coupled with N270 makes the overall deal look awful.”

Priced at Rs 21,000

So here is the good news for all you people out there. Now manufactures can install any of the Windows 7 version. Earlier they were forced to cut down version of windows 7, but now no prohibition of such kind will be enforced on the netbook manufactures. Earlier, 3 application limit was removed from the Windows 7 Starter and with this big news, we are very sure that most of the netbook manufactures as-well-as buyers will show sign of relief.

To keep the cost as minimum as possible, the netbook manufactures for sure stand with the Windows 7 starter or Windows 7 Basic version.
