Customer Reviews

best gadget ever !
Unpack, get rid off Vista (immediately).. and Use Xp ( some nlite edition )

Full XP support at HP website ( all drivers )

There are a couple of forums arround the web , with great info …

This Mini-note (1.6ghz) leaves behind and beats in all performance benchmarks the actual Asus Eee’s ( 701 / 900 ) on the market ..

I can tell , cause I had an Asus Eee 701 4G ( sold it a couple of weeks ago )

Perfect for what it is
I’ve had the computer for about a month now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Here’s how I would address the complaints:

Performance: Use Linux or XP. Vista is usable, but this machine sings with XP. If you don’t have a spare XP license or don’t feel like spending $50 for one, go ahead and load SUSE Desktop.

CPU: I’m not sure what people mean by “underpowered”. Sure, the intel chips are faster at similar clock speeds, but the user experience (on XP) is almost identical between the Eee PC (at 900MHz) and the 2133 (at 1.2 GHz)… the Eee pc would buckle under Vista, too. (though I realize putting Vista on there in the first place is a huge mistake by HP).

Heat: It does get warm. So does my Powerbook

I’m running OpenOffice 2.0 on it, and it’s great. Youtube, Pandora, Skype webcam, and other web tasks are fine. DivX movies run great.

I wanted a small computer for my daughter, and the Eee PC was a little too “toy-like”. I didn’t want her learning to type on a dinky keyboard, so she’ll have to relearn on a full size keyboard later. The screen is gorgeous. The hard drive has plenty of room, and I store lots of DivX video on there. The speakers are better than most laptop speakers (of any size) I’ve heard.

Other kid-safe features: the 3D Driveguard, and a spill-proof keyboard.

So in short, this is one heck of a computer for $549. If you really need a desktop replacement, Sony will be happy to sell you their version for $2000
sleek and capable notebook at a great price
I am a Linux zealot, so I immediately turned my Mini-Note into a dual-boot system by running Linux Mint’s installation from a USB drive. Most people have gripes about how slow this machine is; however, they are using Vista primarily, which is a notorious resource hog. If you run Linux on this machine and, like me, use Windows only to run Windows-only aps, then the Mini-Note can blaze through almost anything that you throw at it: you can boot into the OS in just under 2 minutes, run Compiz desktop effects, and experience few, if any, lags when opening and running programs.

The keyboard is the main draw of this machine. I can type comfortably and quickly thanks to the near-full-sized keyboard, which really benefits a student like myself. Also, the 6-cell battery elevates the notebook slightly to provide an ergonomic position. The screen is clear and crisp, which further improves usability, but prepare to read tiny fonts by default. The touchpad buttons flank the touchpad, which is awkward, but this arrangement is not so weird that you won’t get used to it.

I never understood why reviewers would criticize the Mini-Note for the faults of its software; one mustn’t confound hardware performance with OS capability. If you know which operating system to run, then the Mini-Note will be a pleasure to use. Because this machine is built so well, I can find no glaring flaw to deter anyone from buying this and enjoying it for a very long time.
