I spent weeks looking at different net books trying to decide which would be best for me and to be honest there’s not a massive difference in the models. i’ve been a HP owner for years now so i stuck with what i know and went for the mini which at this price point is certainly one of the best in terms of value on a windows 7 machine. it’s fast to boot, lovely and light and the graphics on the lid are very sleek. the keyboard, although not full size is still perfectly functional to use and pretty comfy too =] battery life exceeds stated, in my case anyway, i’ve had 9hours out of it word processing even with the screen brightness at normal levels which thoroughly impressed. All in all a brilliant little companion!

I bought this to take on holiday to download photos from cameras. Its much better value than some similar photo storage devices, and can do so much more!
The web cam is not brilliant resolution but works Ok. Skpe runs fine.
I am very pleased with the general build and feel of it, nice keyboard to use.
The battery is a bit big , and heavy, but is easily removed so if I am a bit tight on handluggage weight I could put the battery in the suitcase, I guess.
The only problem I had is that the canon codec for raw pics, adobe lightroom and the canon photo editing software -none would install becasue they need a slightly bigger screen resolution (heaven knows why they have restricted that), but I found some freeware (Ifranview) which does the job fine and allows me to view and even edit RAW pictures. The screen brightness and colours are excelent for a small screen.
So if you are buying this for a special use -check the software you want to use will install ok on it first.
Many of the netbooks are XP – I chose this one as best value with Windows 7, and so far I am very pleased with that!
It comes with Windows 7 starter, which I am not sure if it is a cutdown version – cant find out much about it.
maybe I am still learning but I could not find features like being able to choose your own wallpaper which suggest they have removed some non essentail features?

Works just as well as my big laptop, fine for Internet and Microsoft Office. Very small, light and portable. Keyboard slightly cheap looking. Make sure you realise how small it is, I was (pleasantly) surprised when I took it out of the box, but the screen is perfectly readable. Boots in 1 minute 40 seconds. No disc drive!

I am extremely pleased with my new HP netbook. This was by far the cheapest Windows 7 netbook I could find, and the very reasonable price by no means forces a compromise on features and functionality.
Physically, this netbook is compact, comfortable to use, robust and attractive. I have previously owned Dell laptops, and I am extremely pleased with HP features, particularly HP Instant Web, which allows for instant start-up with access to essential programs. The system is quick, surprisingly so by comparison to my full-sized lap-top’s dual core. Frivolously, the cover design is pleasing in a minimalistic manner!
I use my netbook for basic web-browsing and production of documents; I have also installed Power DVD (as there was no pre-installed DVD decoding software). Consequently, I am both productive and entertained on long journeys. The netbook has excellent battery life (I’ve had upwards of eight hours’ utility from mine, and this is on the HP recommended rather than the energy saving setting). The 3 USB ports and the Micro-SD socket are helpful features, ample for my needs on the go. The netbook is also extremely light and functions quietly.
In short, this netbook and I are inseparable, and I belive it represents excellent value for money. I had considered buying a Dell Mini, but free Amazon Delivery and the reduced price mean that this netbook was comparably a bargain.

As with the previous 2 star reviewer, I also purchased this in the 250gb version from another retailer (when it was their todays special value) with all the extras, but unlike them I was very impressed with it. It is light weight, but sturdy. The button size is good (95%) and the response of it is fantastic. I spent a lot of time looking at cheaper models, and only went for this because of the good deal at the time, but am glad I did. I have recently added some software to a friends cheaper model (the one I was looking at originally) and the difference was quite obvious. It was smaller, less reponsive and slower.
All in all, I am very glad I purchased this, and would recommend it to anyone.
