A whole lot of notebooks and netbooks are becoming available to pre-order with Windows 7 pre-installed - since the launch is this Thursday, October 22. So far you can check out HP's desktops here, notebooks here, and their Envy line-up here. If only I had around $2,000 USD to spend on the Envy 15.

The Dell Mini 10v netbook is available here and the Windows 7 Starter Edition costs an extra $30 USD. The Dell Inspiron 11z netbook is available here and the upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium costs an extra $30 USD and it's $130 USD for Windows 7 Professional.

On Amazon Germany's website here, they are now taking pre-orders for the Asus Eee PC T91 tablet netbook for €506 ($754 USD).

On Amazon US' website you can check out the Toshiba Satellite T115, the Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810T, and the AS1810TZ notebooks here, here, and here, respectively. They are also going for $479.99 USD, $599.99 USD, and $549.99 USD, respectively. All three of these notebooks come equipped with Intel ULV CPUs.

At IDF yesterday, Dell showed off their Inspiron Mini 10v netbook running Moblin. The good news is that it will be available sometime today - so I'll update this post with a direct Dell link when I get the chance to. We're also hearing that it'll be available for $299 - for the base model of course - so if you're really interested then just wait for it. Keep in mind that this will be running the first Moblin and not Moblin v2.

On Dell Europe's official website, the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 is now nowhere to be found. This leaves only the Mini 10v which has an Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270 CPU. Maybe we'll see the Mini 10 again, but for now you'll have to just get the Mini 10v. While the Mini 10v has the faster CPU, the Mini 10 was extremely customizable.

An updated version of the Dell Inspiron Mini 10, the Mini 10v, has just been found on Dell's official website. It isn't a complete shocker that Dell has upgraded one of their products because they do it all the time. The 10v will have an Atom N270 CPU (which is an upgrade compared to the old Z-Series Atom that it was bundled with before) and also the same old: 120GB HDD, 1GB of RAM, a 1.3MP webcam, and Windows XP. You can swap out its HDD with your choice of a 32 or a 64GB SSD for $75 and $125 USD, respectively. Dell has also decided to drop the base price of the Mini 10x to just $299 USD, so it could be a steal at that low of a price - that's up to you.
