Good review for the HP Mini 110 and 311 models – http://hpminireview.com/

Also a good place if you are looking to buy as they have some solid deals.

My HP Mini runs Ubuntu 8.04, as does my other netbook (Asus 901). My HP Mini has only two USB ports, most netbooks have three. My HP’s video output is non-standard, thus an extra jack is needed. The keyboard keys seem somewhat too large. I prefer the feel and size of the Acer keyboard. My HP’s control key is so large that it can be held down (not perfectly centered on the key) and the key doesn’t always connect. The Ethernet port’s cover seems gimpy and likely to break, probably then leaving a stub of rubber in the way, thus the task of removing what will be the broken stub. The HP’s on switch seems poorly designed, and I wonder how long it will last. The screen has a tilt limit, with result that tipping the laptop for better hand angle is limited by the screen’s tilt-limit. Most Acer Aspire One models have bigger HD. All in all, my HP Mini is usable, but has the aforementioned factors that prevent enthusiastic endorsement.

Interesting comment on the HP, Teresa and curious to know why or what led you to this opinion.
I’ve been on the verge, for several months of buying a net book but can’t make up my mind which. All makes seem to have the same ‘stufrf’ with the only dif possibly being the key board.
Would you mind elaborating?

Thanks,

john

I’ve had my HP Mini for several months, use it daily. Were I to choose again or buy another netbook tomorrow, I’d purchase an Acer Aspire One, would not get another HP Mini.

Would I be able to hook this up to a video projector (using a monitor cable port) to use in a classroom?

Based on what you know and have seen in the various models you’ve tested Jim, which would you buy? In that all the critical ‘stuff’ is the same for all makes, what can and should be the determining functional factor?
