READ THIS DESCRIPTION FOR FUL REVIEW! This is a review of the HP Mini 210 series of Netbook Computers (the 210-1070NR in this review). What it includes: * 10.1″ 1024×600 display * Intel Atom N450 CPU @ 1.67GHz * 250GB HDD (Same size, speeds vary by model) * 1GB DR2 SDRAM (1 Dimm, type varies by model) * 6-Cell Lithium-Oin Battery (6 to 10 hours lifespan) * Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (SHARED memory) * Webcam * Multicard memory card/stick reader * 32-Bit Windows 7 Starter, 32-Bit First is the netbook itself. It is tiny, at 11″ wide, 7″ deep, and 1″ thick. Pop on the battery, and the depth and thickness is .5″ more. It also adds signifigant weight to the very like computer. This netbook WILL need a case. The plastic used for the body collects fingerprints, and scratches, very easilly. Mine already have deep scratches, and some came from removing the protective plastic from unneded applications (like the hinges, WHY?!) Since this is a computer intended for internet use, it primarilly was designed with enough horsepower to do just that, as well as smaller videos (dimension-wise). There are 3 USB ports, for your electronics, as well as a VGA OUT port, to use this on another monitor, or projector. If you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection available, there is a Ethernet Port for a broadband modem connection. One thing to get used to, are the tiny keys on the keyboard, especially the arrows for games. You’ll likely overshoot until you get used to that. Another control issue …
www.blightytraveller.com – As always Im looking for great travel gadgets and for me the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook is a great item for taking on the road. The days are long gone since you had to have the hassle of a 15 inch thick laptop to lug around, now you can nicely fit this beautiful 10.1 inch netbook into your day sack and take it wherever you go! Even though this little black beauty is very small, it doesnt feel delicate or flimsy. It feels tight and solid, almost like if you were to drop it then it wouldnt do to much damage, I havent tried this though and dont recommend you do either. Looking around the laptop you immediately notice there is no CD Rom however this is not that important as you can buy an external CD Rom and of course you can transfer data on to the netbook via a memory stick. On the left hand side you have a connection for the power supply, a USB port and a card reader slot. On the right hand side is an Ethernet slot, Two more USB ports as well as a HDMI port and finally Two slots for a microphone and headphones. Just above the 10.1 inch screen is a built in webcam and microphone which is great for the talking over the internet on Skype and MSN etc. One concern of mine was the size of the keyboard and the difficulties this may cause for typing but the keyboard is a great size and I have had no problems typing except for the normal mistakes that I make whilst spelling. The specs are not that bad either, 1.33GHz, 1GB Memory, 160GB Hard Drive …
