HP Mini 210-1150NR 10.1-Inch Netbook (Silver) Review

HP Mini 210-1150NR 10.1-Inch Netbook (Silver)
My granddaughter purchased this, although not from Amazon. This is her first computer. She made choices based on how she plans to use it (internet and light word processing, plus photo storage and viewing), and because even though she’s a child, she travels a lot.

I make my review to this model HP Mini-210 1190, although her model is the HP Mini-210 1199, which at the time of this review, Amazon doesn’t sell. Still, they have the same processor and hard drive, and the same Windows Starter operating system. The case on her model (and the tipping point when looking at netbooks in the store) is pink plaid, a stand out for most little girls.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago, and I must say I’m very happy I did. Overall performance is fully acceptable (which is better than any other netbook I’ve tried), and the gaming performance is amazing for what you pay.

I had a Radio Shack Modle 100 for several years and carried it with me everywhere. It was a great for basic word processing, check book balancing and scheduling. For my purposes laptops only went downhill after that. They were too klunky, heavy and expensive.

Not only is this a very good looking device, it has a great keyboard for a machine this size. I had nearly no difficulty switching from my full-size keyboard.

In case you’re wondering about Linux support: I swapped my drive from my laptop with Ubuntu 9.10 (64bit) in the mini 210 and it just worked. No installation, no configuration. The only two minor issues are that you have to enable a restricted driver for the Broadcom wireless device and need a small hack to make the touchpad work. This minor annoyance will likely be resolved in the distributions quickly enough.

I bought this unit to use for travel. I have a lap top w/ 19 inch screen and full key pad. Its taken some getting used to the smaller size. It fits my jeep and I have been able to adapt so I can comfotably use the computer.

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)

I really like this little guy. It is light, the battery works well, it has all of the necessary programs pre-loaded (except MS Office). Seems to be very durable. I haven’t had any problems (unless you’re throwing it down a stairwell I don’t think you will either). The only thing I miss is my CD/DVD Drive. Don’t get this to replace your home computer, but absolutely get it for traveling, or being mobile throughout the home and workplace! Fabulous. One other thing I do not like is how tiny the keyboard and screen are, but this is what you will have to deal with if you want space-saving, mobile, convenience.

I just love this little guy. My old laptop had issues with its motherboard, and I wanted to get something as a backup while it was being repaired so I bought this particular machine.

I must say I really love it. The quality of materials is excellent, and I personally feel that they are better than my dell xps laptop.

For my purposes such as internet surfing, and watching netflix movies, and talking on Skype with video it works awesome. The camera is particularly good, the microphone is good too.

I purchased this mini computer for my adolescent in elementary school. She is extremely pleased with it and so am I. It’s just the right size comes with the web cam and easy to manipulate. Believe it or not I purchased it from the local Toy R Us, in the electronic game section, at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this lap top for young children as well as those who are tired of carrying around the regular laptop. However, it doesn’t come with a CD slot. But services the needs we wanted. Right color, right size, right price!
