HP Mini 1000 Netbook

If you haven’t see them yet they are the small laptops that are light and portable and called netbooks because they are primarily used for surfing the internet. I fell in love with my HP 1000 Mini as it’s called last February. It just was so light and bright and the 10.1 inch screen was easy to read. The keyboard on the HP is almost full size and is easy to touch type documents as well as emails. A gift certificate to Amazon just pushed me to decide to buy one. Mine has a 160 GB hard drive and runs everything I care about having with me when I travel or go to meetings. I can easily use it on any wireless network to get my email or set my calendar. I installed Microsoft Office on it easily and it handles complex spreadsheets and documents with no trouble. I am a dedicated Picasa user for my photos – and I keep over 40,000 of them on a little external harddrive… but that is a tip for another day.

So if you’re thinking of purchasing a netbook I can say that I absolutely love my HP 1000 Mini. And I think there are lots of other great choices including the Dell 10.1 and the Asus. It’s just what most people need most of the time.
