price

5

  • A good value machine
  • Good value
  • This is the perfect Macbook Mini or Mini Air if you don't want to spend the money on a full fledged Mac notebook this is a great way to go
  • more economical take of HP's Mini 1000 -- a good overall value notebook
  • to pick up a little extra on-the-go gusto
  • for a price
  • And that isn't a bad trade-off when you consider the extras inside the machine--and the lower price
  • plus a little extra beef
 
  • Not worried about saving maximum money on your next netbook
  • but neither it nor the Mini 110 can match the value that the Toshiba NB205-310 offers
  • A little thick compared to the competition

performance

5

  • not quick hot
  • Faster than I thought it would be
  • Overall i am happy with performance
  • Performance 52
 

appearance

5

  • The glossy screens look good if you'll always be indoors but if you want to take it outdoors for some reason forget even hoping to seeing anything
 
 

battery

5

  • excellent battery life
  • The long-life battery also raises the back of the netbook making it very comfortable to type
  • I got the battery to last 5.5 hours by dimming the lcd about half way on the plane.Great for email
  • battery life is pretty much ok..not that its bad
  • 6 cell battery
  • Poor battery life
  • which achieved a mediocre battery life of 2 hours
  • Consider popping an extra 40 bones for the BX06 Mini Battery
  • That's miles hours behind pack leaders such as the Toshiba NB205-310
  • Battery life could be better
 
  • 6-cell battery does not last as long as it should (I don't even want to know how long the 3-cell lasts)
  • kurze Akkulaufzeit
  • mit Akku

energy efficiency

0.5

 
  • Wish the AC adapter connector was on the other side - power and wireless LEDs are very bright and can be bothersome at night - Replacement HDD mounting bracket is fifty dollars
 

glare

5

  • anti-glare screen
  • I would definitely go with the anti-glare screen on any netbook too
  • excellent anti glare screen perfect for outdoors usage
 
 

lcd

3

  • I definitely love the 10.1 screen over the paltry 8.9" screens on the first netbooks
  • Anwendungsleistung,+ Ergonomie,+ Helles Display
  • Leistung,+ Lautstärkenentwicklung,+ Verarbeitung,+ mattes und helles Display
  • replaced by a horrid-sounding speaker mounted beneath the display
  • Occasionally dull screen
  • Would have liked a 1024x600 screen
  • Kontrastschwaches Display,- Geringe Austattung,- Vglw
 

usability

5

  • Also use it for navigation in the car.Streams mpeg-2 perfect
  • Price,free shipping,easy to use
  • HP is following up on the success of its consumer-friendly Mini 1000 and business-centric Mini 2140 netbooks (not to mention its designer-minded Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam
 

memory

3

  • I raised the memory to 2Gb from the factory 1GB
  • It has only 1 DIMMs slot so you have to opt for a 2GB ram stick instead of another 1Gb to add to the already 1GB
  • With an upgrade of the ram it still didn't seem quite right it was sluggish and unresponsive constantly CTRL + ALT + DEL to kill awry apps
  • Does need more memory and you may want to spend time removing the HP bloatware
  • Storage is easy by simply adding a 2.5" drive with more capacity
  • My model can't upgrade to 4GB RAM which would be great
 

connectivity

4.5

  • bluetooth would have done the trick..but thats extra i guess
  • Easy internet connectivity
  • HP swaps out the multimedia dongle port in favor of a built-in VGA port (plus a built-in RJ-45 ethernet jack for good measure
  • Only one 3.5 jack for headphones and mic so you can ether plug one or the other
 

build quality

5

  • These units are solidly built with very good keyboards
  • What do you do when you already have a couple of well-received netbooks
  • Well
  • which is slightly more robust than the usual feeble bloatware
  • feels cheaper than other HP efforts
 

screen

0.5

 
  • Called HP support asking to buy the expansion port cable for external VGA monitor
 

keyboard

5

  • excellent keyboard
  • great keyboard
  • almost full size keyboard
  • The best feature for sure is the 92% size keyboard which is a treat if you're going to be on for more than a few hours
  • Great keyboard (even the Dell Mini uses this one
 
  • best keyboard of any netbook

portability

5

  • Small and portable
 
 

size

5
