This is my first netbook. It's very portable, does everything I need and has worked great so far. Very user friendly.

I must say I was a bit disappointed with my HP mini purchase.

Cons:
1.) Skype installation defaulted to external mic, and it was frustrating to figure out.

Pros:
1.) great keyboard, easy to type.
2.) Easy memory upgrade to 2gb. It made my mini super-fast!
3.) Nice/compact design

I am happy with it now after initial installation hiccups and memory upgrade. It's a good little machine.

...Since the iPad hasn't been released yet, I bought one of these to show my design portfolio to clients. And I must say, I'm impressed. Gorgeous, minimal design, bright, beautiful screen, effortless set-up (it connected to my wireless network without a hiccup, unlike an Asus EEE I bought, then returned, a little while back). But best of all, this thing is ZIPPY! Videos load and play super-fast. Great little machine.

I can't say anything about how this product functions, because I bought it from HP and it came in a non-working condition. It took numerous phone calls, hassles with customer service, not to mention speaking with a supervisor regarding the service I had received before I could even return the thing. I've had this happen once before, trying to exchange a computer with HP, but I figured one bad experience doesn't override the fact that generally they have good products. But when you order a brand new product and it doesn't even turn on... and then the service rep says well, we test all our computers before they leave... just left such a sour taste. I will no longer purchase, nor recommend HP. Be aware if you need service from them.

QUICK SUMMARY: This HP netbook is n-network ready and has good style, functionality and features for its price-point. A somewhat troubled installation process and a few design complaints make it an almost 5-star product. Recommended!

lightweight & sturdy
good protection for your netbook.
should come in a waterproof fabric.

......................................................

jsemmett ( Salem, OR USA )

Amazon keeps asking me to review this little sleeve
case for my hp Mini 311, so...

The sleeve fits the 311 very well. Both the main
compartment for the 311 and the accessory pocket are
lined with plastic and will presumably protect the
contents from water.

The accessory pocket holds the ac adapter and cords,
plus a full-size wireless mouse. One can also fit in
the carry strap, but an external dvd drive must be
squeezed into the main pocket with the 311, probably
not a good idea.

The adjustable strap at full length positions the
sleeve at my waist (5'6"). The 'suede' exterior of
the sleeve is satisfactory, almost attractive, and
the workmanship is good. There is a Casecrown logo,
not hp.

Though I have yet to use the sleeve for travel, I
expect it to work well and am pleased with it.

This "New" HP Mini 110-1031 that is advertised is not what you will get. I ordered it and received a Refurbished HP Mini 110-1031cl. I see Amazon just recently changed the description to say "Refurbished." I have to say it is a nice little netbook and even being refurbished, I think it was a good deal at $265.00. It looked and acted like new. The only problem was that it was supposed to have a 6 cell battery and came with a 3 cell battery. Amazon customer service was great and told me to send it back even though I used it already and they would send the correct netbook. Well, it was still a Refurbished 1033cl but again it looked and performed new and this one had the 6 cell battery.

Just a word of caution. I tried changing some monitor settings and decided to do a system restore to default settings. The netbook comes with Roxio Backup and Windows System restore is turned off. I didn't register Roxio but did the restore anyway. I guess because I didn't register Roxio and Windows Restore was turned off, when the system restarted, I got a Windows Boot Manager error message. Windows wouldn't boot because it said components were missing.

The good news is that once you get past the fact that HP Support staff is difficult to understand with the thick accents, they do take care of you. They tried to help fix the problem and when they couldn't, they sent me a set of recovery disks for free which arrived the next day. Oh yea, no disks were included with the netbook. I ordered an external DVD drive and will do the recovery tomorrow. Roxio Backup comes pre-installed but this was my first and last time using it. It will be deleted on my netbook.

Overall I would recommend this netbook. The speed is pretty good and if you upgrade the memory to 2GB, which is inexpensive and easy to do even for a novice, it's even better. It connects to wireless quickly and is just what I was looking for.

M. Pavan ( Bellingham, WA, USA )

I just wanted to warn others about a major drawback of the Windows 7 Starter Operating System that this netbook comes with. I wasn't aware of it when I made my purchase, and I wish I had been. Windows 7 Starter is a very scaled back version of Windows 7 that is only available pre-installed on netbooks. It it does not have full-featured functionality. It does not, for example, allow a user to change their desktop background. The stock blue Windows background it comes with is what you're stuck with, unless you use third-party workarounds. You also cannot change window colors or sound schemes. Additionally, it does not offer DVD playback. So, if you had planned on attaching a portable drive to watch movies--think again. I highly recommend doing your own research into the limitations of Windows 7 Starter before you buy, if you plan to use it as your primary operating system.

Sorry but I can only give this mini laptop a one-star review. There are two things wrong with it. The second day I owned it I went to plug it in to recharge the battery only to find that the connection was loose and I had to wiggle the cord and actually prop the cord up on a stack of papers in order for it to stay in the computer. The second problem was the same thing with the ethernet cord. The ethernet cord would not plug in properly to the computer. I actually went to a store that carries the same laptop. He tried plugging in the ethernet cord for me only to find out that it would not snap in. He tried the HP mini they had in the store and the same thing happened. He was a little confused also. Then he took the cord and plugged it into an Acer, a Dell and a Toshiba and the cord snapped right into place but on this model of the HP mini the cords fell right out of the computer. I highly suggest just going to your local Best Buy, Staples or some place that carries the HP minis and trying it out for yourself before making the purchase on Amazon. If I had done that I could have saved myself a trip to purchase a different brand of computer while away from home. I have an HP 16" laptop and it works great that is why I thought the mini would be a perfect purchase.

Trying to buy a netbook after their explosion in popularity is proving to be difficult, as manufacturers pump out far too many variations.

In addition to the listed specifications for each model of the HP Mini 210 (cpu, memory, disk, exterior color/finish), there are other physical variations depending on model number.

Depending on which HP Mini 210 model you get, some differences are:
- A different keyboard ("island" keyboard or traditional keyboard)
- A matte or glossy screen
- A different physical size of battery
- Different wireless support (802.11b/g vs 802.11b/g/n vs 802.11b/g+bluetooth)

At the time of writing, existing reviews and photos make it difficult to tell what you'll end up with. According to the HP website, there are a dizzying one hundred ninety different HP Mini 210 models.

Some of the popular models that I saw had these attributes:
210-1010NR: Matte screen, traditional keyboard
210-1030NR: Matte screen, traditional keyboard
210-1040NR: Glossy screen, island keyboard

I ended up with a 210-1040NR. I prefer the island keyboard, it seemed to have less flex than the traditional keyboard. Touch typing on either keyboard was not an issue, punctuation is in the correct place, and both the shift keys and the spacebar are nice and large. The multitouch touchpad works better than the competition. I installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition 9.10 and everything works out of the box. (Although the internal fan appears to be on regardless of temperature)

For me, knowing the limitations of the cpu, keyboard, and build quality, the 1024x600 resolution of the display is the weak point. I see there's also a HP Mini 210 HD lineup with a higher resolution display, which may be worth considering.

As far as 10.1" netbooks on the market as of February 2010, after handling and typing on competing models from Acer, Asus, Toshiba, and Sony, for me the HP Mini 210 is the winner.

P. Gray ( Austin, Tx )

I purchased this netbook because of the small size, excellent price, long battery life, and great customer service that HP is known for.

As far as the computer goes...
The computer itself is very light weight and easy to tote around. Not too heavy in a purse or bag and the size it great for concealing what you're carrying, say on a city bus or train.
I'm not a big Winblows fan so I changed the OS to Linux Mint 8 and that gave me back around 8 or 10GB of space that the old OS was eating up. There is plenty of room on the hard drive for a mid-sized music collection, lots of files, and plenty of pictures with room to spare.
The keyboard is great, but lacks a home key, page up, and page down. The touch pad gives you the ability to double click or single click by touch and there is a button on the keyboard for a right-click action.
The AC adapter is plenty long for most tasks and the battery life is excellent.
The webcam is fairly low quality but for basic things, such as using Skype or other conferencing methods, it will do the job. Speakers and mic are great and produce good quality sound for a netbook.

Customer Service...
After having the 210-1030nr for only two weeks, my hard drive went bad. No drops, no spills, no crazy room mates, just went bad. I called HP customer service and they were excellent! They're sending me the shipping materials to send the computer back and are footing the repair bill for me. Great customer service, just like I expected.

The 210-1030nr would have earned that fifth star had the hard drive not gone bad on me. I know, however, that this is a rare occasion for a netbook and sometimes things are not made properly or other issues occur that are beyond my, or any one else's, control.
This HP has performed very well up until the hiccup with the hard drive. My boyfriend was very impressed with the machine, despite his initial aversion to it's small size; he was worried it would be fragile or flimsy. He will be purchasing one for himself very soon.

I do not mean to be negative but I tried this netbook out at a local RadioShack store. They carry the HP 210 Netbook. The overall feel of the netbook was "plasticky" and "very plain." As far as specifications, it seems to be competitive with other available N450 processor netbook in the market.

......................................................

Reviewer ( Chicago, IL USA )

Okay, I'm just going to write a short, straight to the point review on this netbook. I first purchased this netbook here on Amazon when I received a $300 Amazon Gift-Card for completing online surveys. I originally owned an Acer Aspire and mostly IBM ThinkPads. So this was pretty much my first netbook I've ever owned. When I first opened it, I was surprised how small and lightweight this laptop was. It obviously has a 10.1" screen and weighs less than 3 pounds so you can easily fit this laptop in a small backpack or even a larger purse! What you get out of the box are power cables, 3-cell battery, cleaning cloth, manuals, and the netbook. The netbook itself does a have a decent keyboard and a very sleek design compared to most other netbooks. Unlike most HP laptops, this one does not have any imprint finishes or designs on the cover. If you are getting this HP Mini or any netbook out there for the first time, it'll take some time to get used to it since the screen is considerably much smaller and the computer runs slower. A few things I didn't like about this netbook is that the cover of the laptop gets fingerprints very easily and the touchpad isn't that good. Also, you'll get only about 2 hours at most of batter life when fully charged. The main problem I have with the touchpad is that the clicking buttons are also part of the pad and you can move the mouse even by touching the clicking buttons. What happens is that your cursor may move all over the screen. Also, the screen it has is not one of those shinny, glossy ones, it's a matte finish. This is a great laptop to buy if all you'll need to do is listen to music, browse internet, do homework, or to check emails. If you're like me, that creates websites and does video editing, this laptop is definitely not for you since this laptop will keep freezing. Netbooks are just for basic things and can only runs like 2-3 programs smoothly. I would definitely recommend this laptop and it runs at a very good price ($298.95) when I brought it.

......................................................

Nicholas DiMucci ( New York )

The HP Mini 210 is a great netbook overall. It features a Intel GMA 3150 which is capable of streaming video over sites such as youtube, hulu, etc; it doesn't stream any type of HD that great, however. I was even able to play older games such as Deus Ex, Aliens vs. Predator and even Unreal Tournament just fine. If you can't afford to pay the extra $100 for the HP 311 which sports a Nvidia ION, this netbook will serve you well.

The keyboard is 93% full size and is great to type on. I'm a computer science student and I was delightfully surprised to see how comfortable it was to program on this netbook. If you plan to do any type of creative writing or programming, this netbook is ideal for that.

I admit, it's taking me awhile to get use to the slower execution speeds and limits of multitasking with a netbook, but this HP seems to be faster then other netbooks I've tried. As long as you aren't trying to perform more then 2-3 tasks at a time, all is well and speedy.

My major grip is with the touchpad. The left and right buttons aren't independent of the touchpad itself; you can move the mouse if you move your finger within either click buttons. I like to keep my finger on the left button as a I navigate the touchpad with my other finger, but on this netbook it causes the pointer to jump around the screen. It's just going to take a bit to change my style, but I would have preferred two buttons that were separate from the actual touchpad.

Battery is life is advertised at 4 hours, but I've seen around 3 thus far. As soon as a replacement 6-cell battery is released, I will be purchasing and that should satisfy my needs.

4 out of 5 stars for this netbook due to the touchpad and inability to stream HD videos properly.

I like to keep your finger on the button to the left as you navigate the touchpad with your finger to others, but this netbook is the pointer to jump around the screen. It only going to have a little to change my style, but I would prefer two buttons that have been separated from the actual touchpad.

Battery life is advertised in 4 hours, but I've seen about 3 so far. As soon as a replacement 6-cell battery is released, I will be buying and that meets my needs. 4 of 5 stars for this HP netbook because of touchpad and the type HD video properly.
