HP Mini

If you're a pink person, you're going to really dig the latest news coming from HP. Announced today, HP will be wrapping its Mini 210 in a few new shades this Summer — Preppy Pink (which is using HP's 3D cover print technology to give the shell a 3D effect) and White Crystal. Coming stocked with all the tech specs of the previous 210 model, you can now choose to play up your girlie side with a bright pink hue (which is splashed on the keyboard as well) or dare to sport white all year round.

While the 210s get a boost in color, the entry-level HP Mini 110 is getting a bit of help in the power department with an upgrade from its previous three-cell battery to a six-cell, which should power you through eight hours of work and play. All Mini models will be hitting shelves June 15, with the Mini 210s priced at $354, while the powerlicious 110 will set you back $280. Being an HP Mini girl myself, I'm pretty excited about the battery upgrade, but I don't think these new cover colors can stack up to the designer Vivienne Tam edition, which has been on my wish list all year. Can't complain though — a girl can't have too many options.

Let's face it: it's hard enough trying to stick to those resolutions without the threat of big heart-shaped boxes of chocolates throwing us off track in February. Banish the cocoa this Valentine's Day and give your sweetheart a luscious red HP Mini 210 instead ($280).

Coming packed with Windows 7, 1GB of RAM, and up to 250GB hard drive, the netbook will allow your significant other to view tons of pictures, watch videos, and work on the go, all while enjoying the crisp 10.1 LED anti-glare widescreen display. There's even a webcam, so if you're far away from your loved one this Feb. 14, you can chat it up all night despite your distance. I've been a big fan of the HP Mini for a while (it even took home the award for your favorite netbook in 2009), and this love-tinted hue is just the icing on the cake.

A year ago, I wasn't sure how I felt about netbooks, but after reading more about them and actually getting my hands on one, I'm a converted fan. This year, the HP Mini 110 took top honors as your favorite netbook, barely edging out the Toshiba Mini.

I'm almost ready to pick one up, though I'm a little bummed the rumors of an Apple mini are sadly just rumors. Though I must admit I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that 2010 will be the year of the Apple netbook.
