Finally the travel PC I’ve been looking for. I had an Asus Eee PC or eee PC or whatever. I’ll be honest, not a fan. But I recently had to buy some new equipment for travel. I was in (believe it or not) Costco when I found this item. I had read about it and after trying several ultra-mobiles I had all but given up. I snapped up the HP Mini for under $400 to my amazement. With Windows XP included that meant no problems with my Aircard for mobile internet service.
First off the portability is one of the best I’ve seen out of an actual useable ultra-mobile with an 8.9″ monitor, tasteful rounded corners, sleek design, dark color, and weighing in at only 2 and quarter lbs, you can’t go wrong. (Actual dimensions are: 10.3″(L) x 6.56″(W) x .99″(H)
Then on to function after form:
- Windows XP
- Webcam/Microphone for you social networkers
- 1 gig of RAM
- 60 gig hard drive
- Keyboard 92% of normal size! (Bigger than my Fujitsu Lifebook that is my everyday laptop/tablet
- 2 USB ports
- 1.60 GHZ Intel Atom Processor
- 3 Cell Lithiom Polymer Battery
I’ve only taken it a couple places since I just picked it up a few weeks back, but it traveled well. It’s like having an extra book with you. I’m impressed. A couple of attractive flight attendents thought it was cute (that’s worth something).
A few times I forgot it was in my bag just because of its light weight. If you are in the hunt for a new ultra-mobile or a good internet device to travel with, look no further.
