5.0 out of 5 stars
***AWESOME!***, October 19, 2009
This review is from: HP Mini 110-1050NR 10.1-Inch Netbook (Personal Computers)
Don't let the previous review scare you. Yes, the battery protrudes, but it provides a convenient support for the keyboard. I always use the "feet" on my keyboard to give me a more favorable typing angle, and that's exactly what the placement of the battery does. As for the battery being "heavy", this is a light-weight (<2.9 lbs) netbook; if you've been lugging around a 5-7 lb laptop, it's a dream. I looked at every netbook on the market, and this one had all the features that pushed my buttons. I am totally sat-is-fied. If I just could have gotten it for the price it's being offered for now, I'd have no regrets.

Battery Issues/Super Heavy!, September 7, 2009
This review is from: HP Mini 110-1050NR 10.1-Inch Netbook (Personal Computers)
This is near perfection. So many positive features.
There is a 6-cell battery that protudes out on a extensive basis. So much so that it BLOCKS your ability to fully open the screen as the battery blocks the screen from fully opening.
If you are short, this is not an issue. I'm 6-foot and this netbook only opens so far and then I have to push its 10" tiny screen way out so I can get a clear and bright screen. Thus, I can no longer see the screen.
I was so impresed with its GOBI ability to connect anywhere via its internal chip.
The keyboard is a solid rated-10! Excellent.
The weight with this really inferior and heavy battery makes for a netbook that weighs-in at more than my Sony Vaio standard laptop.
I'm so letdown as there are so many positive things about this netbook except for its weight and it's terrible 6-cell large and heavy battery.

Great for a second computer, October 30, 2009
This review is from: HP Mini 110-1050NR 10.1-Inch Netbook (Personal Computers)
I've only had my Mini for one day so far, but have found it to be one slick machine. We bought it to take with us on trips to keep up to date on emails and follow the market, etc. It is going to be perfect for that. For heavy use I will still use my desk top. Battery pack is not a problem. Don't let that keep you from buying one. The Mini does take a while to set up. The directions could be a little more clear and the operating system required extensive updating but that is covered in the instruction booklet and not a big problem...just takes some time.
I could have waited for the 7 to come out, but at this price and since this is the system I have been using for years, why wait. Somebody said it was heavy...I don't think less than 3 lbs should be a problem for most people. After some practice I now no longer reach for the mouse and am getting used to the slightly smaller key board and the mouse pad. It just takes a little practice. Overall the coumpeter is well made, very solid, keyboard has a nice touch, in general a well made machine. Not like some of those I looked at while shopping at the local computer mega-store. So, so far so good. Hope I feel the same after 6 months.
