HP unleashed its highly hyped nettop PC, the mini-Q 2030. Dubbed by a few tech enthusiasts as the next big think in small computing, the mini-Q has specifications a little advanced than mini workstations

The mini-Q is run by Intel’s 1.6GHz dual-core Atom 330 processor and 2GB of DDR2 RAM. While most small laptops have a hard drive of 80GB, this one packs 160GB 7,200 rpm.

The mini-Q laptop also has a dual-layer DVD burner, four USB 2.0 ports and two PS/2 ports. It comes preloaded with Windows Vista.

One of the things that separate mini-Q from its counterpart is its weight. The mini-Q weighs around 4.4 pounds without the monitor and its peripherals.

Alongside the unveiling of the mini-Q 2030 is the mini-Q 2020. Another new computer that runs on single-core Atom 230 rated at the same 1.6GHz, half the RAM at 1GB. It uses Windows XP.

HP’s mino-Q 2030 will be available in Taiwan for $386. The lesser edgy mini-Q 2020 is tagged at $296.
