Ultra and Sub Notebooks Which one?

I'm in the market for a sub-notebook computer. Rumors are circulating that Apple is coming out with a 12" screen MacBook. I like the HP sub-notebook. Has a beefy hard drive and nice keyboard. Overall nice system for the price.

Me and my wife already have a Mac and 3 Windows systems. My main Dell system a Latitude D610 is getting old, the drive is small and it is starting to slow down.

I am leaning towards the HP. I thought I read that Dell was coming out with a sub-notebook, but on their site there is nothing there, maybe it hasn't come out yet.

After I do some research I will post some updates on my quest.

BMG Sale to Sony

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117990075.html?categoryid=19&cs=1

"Sony Corp. became the sole owner of the world's second largest music
company in the world Tuesday, putting the company in a position to integrate
music with electronics and possibly begin to offer shared rights deals with
artists.
Sony agreed to buy the 50% stake in Sony BMG held by German media giant
Bertelsmann in a deal valued at $1.2 billion.
Sony BMG will initially pay Bertelsmann about $600 million in cash. Sony
Corp. of America will then purchase the remaining interest for about $600
million. As a result, Bertelsmann will receive approximately $900 million in
value for its 50% stake plus $300 million of its share of cash on Sony BMG's
balance sheet. Sony views this arrangement as a net cash cost of about $600
million as it does not consolidate Sony BMG's cash.
The music company, to be called Sony Music Entertainment, will be a wholly
owned subsidiary of Sony Corp. of America."

Blue-ray Format Wins!

The Blue-Ray format has won, now that Toshiba has bowed out with their HD format.

I'm sure there will be more on this development, but for now it appears that Blue-Ray which is backed by Sony and the studios is the winner.

The good news is that you shouldn't have any troubles finding movies in the Blue-Ray format.
