 Do not buy the HP Mini netbooks, especially from Amazon January 25, 2010

I bought the HP Mini 110-1050NR 10.1 Netbook and while the product seems to be OK--what I had expected--it failed in one crucial area. Whithin hours after I received the netbook, it would not reboot after it updated the Microsoft software that it came with. It showed a message that the BootMgr is compressed and the computer basically locked up. The user manual that came with the product is essentially useless. No clue about what happened. After hours of frustration, I read in a Consumer's report that there is a serious flow with this product and when you clean the hard disc the computer freezes and you cannot reboot it. Also, I found out that HP has been made aware of this problem for some time and they should have either corrected the problem, or alert the buyers of their product of this flaw, so they would not attempt to EVER clean the hard disc. My frustration turned into anger when--reading the Amazon fine print--I learned that I could not return the netbook to Amazon because it didn't arrive damaged nor "dead-on-arrival". It merely shut down after I turned it on. I wanted to return it but no such luck--Thanks Amazon! Then it was the HP Customer Service ordeal. I call it BTW, Customer Frustration. Spent 3.5 hrs with 4 different agents to conclude that I had to return the product under warranty service to HP and pay a "small shipping fee" for it. I paid $21.54--which for a netbook of $299 is about 7% of the product! It took almost a month before I got the netbook back. Lessons: Don't buy an HP mini and if you do, DON"T buy it from Amazon. Buy from a supplier who accepts returns for flowed products...
 Wonderful product! January 22, 2010

I wanted to purchase a laptop but wasn't sure what I wanted. I bought this item a month ago because the price was a great deal for a quality and name brand product and the reviews seemed pretty decent. So far, I am extremely happy with everything about this netbook. It is a nice size and I don't mind the battery, which sticks out a bit, but not in a bad way. It actually works well sitting on a desktop, kind of tilts at an angle and is easy for me to type. The keyboard is very comfortable to use (I believe I read it's about 93% of normal keyboard). The one thing I did not get with the product was a user manual, but I was able to download one (.pdf format). The only reason I wanted it was because I wasn't sure what some of the symbols on the keys were (ie: the F keys). At first when I tried to set up to wireless internet, I had issues (it could have been a password issue on my end - I'm not sure...) just happy it works now! I love being able to sit and browse online or to bring it to class to take notes. It does not have a CD drive, so I had to purchase one in order to download MS Office products (Word/Excel/Access). I am able to use them all with no problem. It has three USB ports, so I can use a flash drive to save and transfer documents easily. I also downloaded music cds and can listen to music. I think the battery is supposed to be about 6 hrs (?) but not sure. I used it for a 2 1/2 hour class and it only used about half of battery life. I would recommend this product for someone who wants a nice, affordable, quality netbook that is powerful, portable and fun. So far, I love it and am very happy with my purchase!

Everything is slow, slow, slow. Keyboard is difficult to type on. The Microsoft Office operating system is only a 30-day trial (which Amazon does not tell you anywhere in the product description), then you lose all functionality if you don't upgrade. I spent over an hour on the phone with HP about this issue. To upgrade costs almost as much as I paid for this piece of junk. By the time I found this out, the timeframe in which I could have returned it had already passed.
Great netbook and a great price! December 28, 2009

I love this netbook. It does exactly what it promises. And is great for the purpose intended. It wont replace your desktop or more powerful laptop. It is a perfect compliment to your household network! My teen loves it and I'm going to get 2 more for the rest of us.
