HP has announced several new computers today including the Mini 210 series. This machine comes in a variety of colors and has the size and performance that mobile types want when on the go for general computing tasks.

The little netbook has a 10.1-inch screen that is LED backlit and supports 720p resolution. The machine can be optioned with the new Intel dual core N550 Atom processor or the older N455 processor. The machine runs Windows 7 Starter or Home Premium.

The upcoming 250GB Xbox 360 hard drive is now being offered for sale at GameStop for its $130 price. Oddly this comes ahead of any official announcement from Microsoft. The drive is an upgrade for the new, slim Xbox Arcade, which includes only 4GB of built-in storage.

To refresh your memory, the drive ships preloaded with the Hexic HD game as well as with demos of A Kingdom for Kefflings, Peggle and Pinball FX. It is said to be shipping within 24 hours of you placing the order.

We are pretty sure Microsoft isn’t happy about this, but a video has surfaced which claims to have successfully patched the DVD drive to play burned discs on the new Xbox 360. The issue isn’t just about piracy though. Many Xbox users like to burn a backup copy of their game CDs in case the original disc gets damaged.

Even so, I’m sure microsoft will be on this quickly, trying to figure out a way to prevent the hack. The group behind the video(It can be found below) claims that the patch will be available soon, which is good news if you want to backup games for your new Xbox 360.

Gateway just launched the LT22 netbook, which is pretty similar to the LT32, but this one is packing a 10.1-inch display instead of the 11.6-inch display on the LT32.

There’s no price or launch date for the LT22 in the US yet, though in Canada it will cost you CAD350 (or $337).

Looks like we can expect another Xbox 360 bundle soon. The bundle has not yet been announced, but a 250GB Xbox 360/Kinect bundle can be seen on Microsoft’s Australian packaging for the 4GB Xbox 360 / Kinect box.

The 250GB bundle looks similar to the 4GB bundle, with a larger capacity hard drive, a glossy finish, and it includes a headset. We aren’t sure what game comes with the bundle, but it’s most likely Kinect Adventures.

The new Xbox 360 is much quieter and more efficient, but there are still reasons to buy the old model. Like the fact that Best Buy is kicking off August by lowering the prices for the Splinter Cell: Conviction and Final Fantasy XIII previous-gen Xbox 360 bundles.

For only $299 (That’s $50 off the current price) you get the game title, a 250GB HDD, and two wireless controllers. You better hurry. Not sure how long it will last.

If you are looking for a new notebook, you may want to look into the UL20FT from Asus. The 12.1″ notebook is not only thin and lightweight, but it also has an Intel Core i3-330UM processor, making it much faster than the Japanese version, which has a Celeron U3400 processor.

So we in the US have the faster version, which can be had for $579. It should be released on August 6th. Some other specs include 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, a VGA webcam, HDMI out and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

LA Dodgers fans can now get their favorite team branded on their computer. MSI and the Dodgers have teamed up to announce these exclusive Dodgers computers.

These machines will feature the Dodgers logo and digital Dodgers content. They include the limited edition MSI Wind Top AE2220 and the Wind U135DX netbook. The Wind Top features a Core 2 Duo T6600 CPU, NVIDIA Ion graphics, a 21.5-inch screen, and 4GB of RAM.

Hitachi has unveiled a new line of external storage solutions called the LifeStudio line. The line comes in several different modes with different features and capabilities. The line offers a slick 3D navigation interface and content aggregation capability.

The line can back up data locally and to cloud-based storage options. The LifeStudio Plus drive has a built-in flash drive for syncing content for on the go use. Content can be pulled together from local sources, the web, and social media.

Sony saw the sales of its PS3 increase significantly, when the price was cut and the PS3 Slim hit the market. The console is still selling decently and fans in Japan will have a new color with a couple new features to choose from soon.

The new PS3 console will be offered in the existing black color and can be had in white as well. The console is replacing the current 120GB and 250GB HDDs with new 160GB and 320GB HDDs.

We have already heard a bit about the Asus Eee PC 1215N netbook before. The machine has now went official with Asus offering up the full specs on Facebook.

The machine gets the Intel Atom D525 CPU and graphics are via an NVIDIA Ion GPU. The machine also has USB 3.0 and Bluetooth 3.0. Optimus tech is features to allow the machine to change between the discrete and integrated GPUs as needed.

Having a hard time deciding on which tablet device or netbook to buy? Well, you can have the best of both worlds with the Gigabyte T1000P. This 10.1″ touchscreen tablet/netbook hybrid features a 1,366 x 768 resolution which is higher than other displays on devices this size.

It’s available for pre-order from Amazon at $699. Some other features include an Intel Atom N470 1.83GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive with Windows 7 Starter Edition as the operating system.

3D laptops just keep rolling in. Lenovo’s latest is the IdeaPad Y560d notebook. It sports a Core i7, a 15.6-inch (1366×768) display, and starts at just $1200 for the basic version. You’ll need to upgrade if you want that Core i7, ATI Radeon HD5730 1GB graphics, or 750GB hard drive.

The starting price gets you with a Core i3 processor, Intel’s integrated graphics, and a 250GB hard drive. The 3D panel, software, and glasses are all extra options, so it will cost you more to get the full 3D experience.

Meet the new Xbox 360. It will launch today for $299. The old Elite will be $249 and the Arcade will drop to $149. The new console looks like a stealth Xbox in glossy black with touch-sensitive buttons. According to Microsoft it’s “whisper quiet,” with one large fan instead of two.

It has integrated 802.11n WiFi, five USB ports, and 250GB of storage on a removable hard drive, though it’s not the same drive as the old console, and older Memory Units won’t work, either. To upgrade you can use a USB-to-Xbox hard drive connector cable to migrate to the new box. What do you think?

An “industry source” speaking with games site CVG, says that Sony will release two new PS3 bundles this year, both including the PlayStation Move motion controller, and one of them featuring a huge 500 GB hard drive. One of the bundles will include a 250GB PlayStation 3 and the Move motion controller.

The other bundle will include a 500GB PlayStation 3 and the Move. That may be overkill. Then again, maybe Sony knows something we don’t. Maybe they have plans that take up a lot of space.
