[...] why Molly wanted it: it’s pretty. It was smaller, thinner, lighter, and more elegant than the Eee PC. And yes it fit in my purse. Or at least the size purse I would be carrying any time I’d be [...]

>>>magnesium alloy support structure

That doesn't necessarily mean the OUTSIDE. “Support structure” sounds like the stuff the casing is *attached* to.

Ouch, lets not make a list of how the Eee 900 kicks the mininote's butt. It would just. never. end.
Hopefully MSI or Acer will bring something better to the table.

Also, the keyboard comes at the cost of a huge footprint, not something I would want to brag about to people looking for UMPC's.
Maybe some people should and get that 17″ laptop they've always actually dreamt about

Interesting. I guess I need to brush up on my metal v. plastic recognition skills! I’ll update the post. to reflect this.

Just fyi, this is from the HP site:
” Built to last:
The simple, refined design and all-aluminum case make it sleek, sturdy and lightweight. Features such as HP DuraKeys, magnesium alloy support structure, and HP 3D DriveGuard make a durable mini-note PC that can go the distance.”

That may just push me over to the Mini-Note in my EeePC 900 vs Mini-Note decision battle.

You know, I’m not 100% certain on this one, but I’m 90% sure it’s plastic. It’s the kind of plastic that’s designed to look like metal.

“Sure, they’re both made of cheap plastic,…” Doesn’t the Mini-Note have an aluminum case?

And I’m really looking forward to a comparison like this between the Mini-Note and the 900. I really can’t make up my mind on which to go with.

I was waiting for someone to do a post like this. Now all I need to do is fondle the Mini for myself when J&R gets it. And the e900 too. And the Lenovo u110.
