If you're looking to bring the office with you or go on vacation and have access to great entertainment then HP Mini's are a fantastic choice. The Mini 110 is small enough to throw in a bag but packs a big punch with the Atom 270 processor, plus a massive array of hardware that brings business and pleasure together.
Now, enough of my rambling, lets talk about some of the HP Mini 110 Stats.
Processor: Ok, as I mentioned earlier the HP Mini 110 has the 270 version of the Atom processor. At the time of this writing the 280 is out, but a bit expensive. You'll be able to save a lot without sacrificing performance if you pick the 270. Atom processors deliver performance but use about 1/10th the electrical power that a CORE 2 Duo would consume. Hence, this Netbook has a very long battery life (as do all netbooks with the Atom processor).
RAM: The HP Mini 110 comes with 1 GB of RAM, however it's not upgradable to 2 GB (like other Netbooks). That's slightly disappointing, especially if you're going to be using this Netbook for more that browsing the web and working on documents. On the flip-side if you're going to just use this Netbook to browse the internet and Skype then 1 GB is plenty.
Screen: This Mini comes with a very bright, NON reflective (no glare) 10.1 inch screen. Some people do love those shiny screens until they take them out in the light! You won't have to worry about that with this Mini. The screen is also engineered to use as little electricity as possible.

Be very careful in ordering this product. I have an HP desktop and have never had issues with it. This laptop was ordered as a Christmas present for my son to use in his high school class. It was fine from Dec. 25th until mid February. By this time, the 30 day Amazon return policy was over. The starboard had burned out in it. I spent DAYS on the phone with HP technical support, since the laptop is covered by a one-year warranty. Each time I called (about 6 all total, and the laptop still has not been fixed), I spent at least an hour on the phone. Every agent I spoke with gave me a different story, including that the HP service center in my area could not take care of this problem, since the laptop is considered a consumer product. They would not let their own service agent order the part to fix it. Now I am waiting for a box to send the laptop to HP for repair. I have very real concerns that I may never see it again. If I had this to do over again, I would have gone into a store to purchase it. Warranty is much longer there--usually 90 days.
The shipping was fast and the product was as described. I would buy again and recommend this seller.
I received the hp mini 110-1022 as a gift for Christmas, it had been initially purchased in July. In January, the keyboard quit working and after 1.5 hours on the phone with a service technician it was determined to need a system recovery. So they mailed me the disk (after trying to force the external drive down my throat). I bought the external CD drive at a third location, attempted to use the disk to recover the software, only to find it didn't work, the "hardware" needs repair, and they would be glad to send me a box for shipping back for the low cost of about $20. For a BRAND NEW NETBOOK that was rendered UNSUABLE by a faulty keyboard. According th hp tech support, it really isn't a shipping fee, it's "insurance and priority to get it repaired". The fact that it is under warranty (and did I mention BROKEN?!?) should be enough to warrant me receiving these services. This computer is BRAND NEW, and DOESN'T WORK. Why should I pay MORE to have the BROKEN computer fixed? So my options are to suck it up, give hp MORE of my hard earned money, or to use it as a cute little doorstop? Seriously? Can they refund me the money I spent on the external drive that I wasn't going to buy except that I needed it to "fix" the computer? Can they refund me the monry I spent upgrading the crappy factory battery? Needless to say that this is not the computer I would have bought for myself, for many reasons: price, battery life highest among them. Now I can add the "shipping, er priority repair/insurance" charges. Thanks for nothing hp.
I purcased tis notebook as a replacement to te 2133. Te screen was a bit too small for mey visual acuity and te moter board went in about nine monts or so after I purcased it. Tis time te 110-1030NR ad dissapointed me in tat te kepyboard started ivine trouble about five monts after buyin it. te g and h keys ave stopped workin as well as te backspace button. I am very dissapointed because I am currently doin an online deree and ave to travel a lot so I need to ave an ultra portable option.
I absolutely love this netbook! Very compact and easy to travel with, but has a nearly full size keyboard. Screen has very good resolution. I downloaded iTunes and can watch movies, podcasts, listen to music, etc. I did purchase an external DVD/CDRW drive ($39.00) so that I could watch DVD's and install previously purchased software, as the netbook does not have an internal drive. Love the 3 2.O USB ports. I especially like the external WI-FI on/off switch for air travel.
