Hewlett Packard HP Mini 1000 Notebook, Intel Atom Processor N270 1.60GHz, 8.9" LED BrightView Widescreen Display, 51... (883585978731) Review

The Hewlett Packard Mini Notebook isn't a bad little computer. It's nice and small, easy and lightweight to carry. My biggest problem with the computer is the space button, and the slow internet speed. We have another old laptop that is used in our house, and I prefer it over the new HP Mini for sure. The space button doesn't work most of the time; you have to practically punch it to space between words, or hit it dead straight in the middle. Also, we have high speed internet, so we figured this being a brand new computer, it would be fast, but instead, it lags, and every page takes forever to load, if it even does. Maybe it's just our computer. Since we bought ours at Circuit City's closeouts, we couldn't take it back, so for all I know, we just got a defective one. It was fairly cheap, under $500. It's hard for me to type on, since the keyboard is a bit small. I guess I'm just used to my bigger laptop with it's bigger computer. The screen is really nice, and graphics look great when they DO show up, even though it's small. I have to greatly minimize web pages in order to actually read them, and that can be a pain at times. I don't really care for the fact that there's no CD drive, so we had to buy one separate.
