The OmniBook 3100, 4100 and 7100 lines will be based on Intel Corp.'s forthcoming 233MHz and 266MHz mobile Pentium II processors. In addition, HP will debut an ultrathin notebook based on Mitsubishi Electronic Corp.'s Pedion, sources close to HP said. All are slated to ship before the PC Expo trade show in June, sources said. The first notebooks to ship, the 3100 series, will refresh HP's current, top-of-the-line OmniBook 3000 family, which offers 233MHz and 266MHz Intel Pentium Processors with MMX Technology and 13.3-inch displays. HP will announce the new OmniBook 3100 series in April, sources said, at the same time that Intel, of Santa Clara, Calif., rolls out the mobile versions of its Pentium II processors. The 233MHz and 266MHz chips are expected then, and a 300MHz version is anticipated by the end of the year. Usurping the OmniBook 3000 line as HP's high-end series will be the OmniBook 7100, sources said. The 7100 will feature either a 13.3- or 14.1-inch screen. Configured with 32MB of RAM and an 8GB hard drive, the notebook will be priced at less than $7,000, sources said. Filling in HP's midrange will be the OmniBook 4100. The new notebook will be 1.5 inches thick and weigh about 5 pounds. The 4100, priced at less than $5,500, will be configured with a 13.3-inch display, sources said. HP's new ultrathin OmniBook is based on Mitsubishi's Pedion notebook, which is 0.7 inch thick and weighs 3.1 pounds. It comes with a 233MHz Pentium MMX processor and a 12.1-inch display. HP, of Palo Alto, Calif., plans to position the notebook as an E-mail machine for traveling executives and complement it with a special service program that provides a dedicated number that users can call for on-the-road service, sources said. Other notebook vendors, including Dell Computer Corp., IBM and NEC Computer Systems Division, are also gearing up to ship Pentium II systems this spring. HP officials declined to comment on unannounced products.

Paul...I agree with the scenerio, but what I don't understand is, I thought Intel got the Alpha Chip in the DEC deal ["settlement"], so wouldn't Intel be getting revenues from the chip even if COMPAQ wanted to go wild with it?? The whole thing appears to be a win/win for Intel since it would be making both the Alpha and the Mercede.[They didn't say they would make the Alpha for DEC for free, did they? A bit confused...M
