ImageAs expected, Verizon has launched its first subsidized netbook in the HP Mini.

The netbook itself features Qualcomm’s GOBI tri-mode EVDO/UMTS/GSM/EDGE 3G modem with dual-band EVDO Rev. A, quadband GSM/EDGE and triband HSPA access with US 3G support.

Major hardware specifications consist of a 10.1 inch display, 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB RAM expandable to 2GB, 80 GB Hard drive with Windows XP SP3 installed, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, SD/MMC card reader, and Wi-Fi radio.

The HP Mini 1151NR is $519.99 Month-to Month, $349.99 on a 1 year agreement and $249.99 on a 2 year agreement before a $50 instant rebate bringing the totals to $299.99 and $199.99 after selecting either the $40/month or the $60/month data plans which are set at 250 MB and 5 GB monthly access respectively.

Humberto,

Googling HP 1151NR 2GB RAM brought up only your article.
HP’s website says 1151NR max RAM is 1GB. There is a you tube item about expanding RAM in HP 1000 but not for HP 1151NR.

Are you sure that HP 1151NR RAM can be expanded to 2GB?

If so, could you provide a link?

If not, I think I will go with ASUS EeePC 1000HE. I think PCs limited to 1GB RAM will be in trouble when Microsoft stops supporting XP.

Thanks, Wes

The HP 1151NR is a rebranded HP 1000 with the built-in GOBI modem, all major hardware design is otherwise identical to the 1000 according to the service manual listed on the support page for the 1151NR.

Hope this helps.
