NY Times article on the HP netbook which uses the Intel Atom:

Netbook market heats up as HP jumps into the fray

********************************EXCERPT*******************

HP Wednesday introduced three new ultra-portable systems, including two that carry price tags of less than US$400. All three new Minis run Intel Corp.'s Atom processor.

And HP is trying a trendy look, teaming up with fashion house Vivienne Tam to design the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition. Dubbed the first "digital clutch," the netbook was first shown on the runway of Tam's Fall 2009 Fashion Week show in Battery Park, N.Y. The model comes in vibrant red with a peony-flower inspired design.

All three new HP netbooks are less than 1-inch thick, have a starting weight of a little more than 2 pounds and a keyboard that is 92% the size of a standard laptop keyboard.

Article also discusses other offerings.
