[Dunhamzzz]

HP have announced that a massive update for their Mini range of netbooks. The HP Mini 210 is getting a major refresh with a new Intel Atom N550 dual-core CPU as well as a major redesign in the trunk. Don't fret though, the beautiful chiclet-style keyboard, modern design and also Broadcom Crystal accelerator options are all still there.

The new HP Mini 210 will be available in both single-core and dual core options starting from $330.

The business-orientated Mini 5103 is also getting a similar upgrade to the Atom N550, as well as now coming with HPs instant-on OS, "Day Starter", although chances are you will stick with a vanilla OS install. These updates will bring the HP Mini line up with competitors such as Asus and Lenovo.

Hey, maybe they'll even fix their keyboard on the Mini 210 so that the Fn+Arrow keys will give you Home, PageUp, PageDown and End, like the rest of the keyboards in the netbook world do. Until then, stay away.
