a tough cheap near substitute to a laptop Jul 25, 2010 okay where do i begin..... i purchased the "netbook" at the post exchange in camp Buering kuwait last september. Since then it has been to Iraq, The US, kuwait again, and back to Iraq. As you can imagine an infantryman in the army is going to use and abuse his equipment, and i have. its been dropped, dusted out, had water spilled on it, juice spilled on it, jp-8(diesel fuel) spilled on it, its been dealing with 210v's being supplied to it, it has traveled by humvee, mrap, c-130,c-17, blackhawk,and chinook all while in my pocket (very portable), it has been turned off maybe 40 times since i bought it(this thing has been on for a month at a time), iall in all this thing has pretty much survived a deployment to iraq, its obviously tough. i love this thing!!! not to mention i bought a 20 dollar used disk drive and a 70 dollar external hard drive and now i have all the storage i could ever want plus the ability to use disks; programs, music, movies, games.... they all work fine.
My only gripe with this thing is it can be a little slower then a desktop computer when i have itunes, firefox, VLC, word, and powerpoint running at the same time. But hey its small and portable so i guess that probably means the mini stuff inside it probably aint as quick as its big brother, i expected that.
over all if you need a dependable, cheap computer .... this is the ranch truck of computers. at 250 dollars a piece, you wont need to worry to much about the safty of your computer, and it probably wont break but if you somehow manage, you could just get another one. this is the netbook to buy!!! or maybe even a laptop replacement.

Be smart! Buy external optical drive & get software backup discs May 27, 2010 I bought this for my son in high school and paid for the upgrade download of MS Office for students. He used this everyday and found it to be durable and functional. Then...one day about 6 months into use it just stopped working.
So what's the deal? After the trial period of Norton ran out and the download renewal fee to activate a full version was 50% more than the same thing available in a retail store we opted to remove the dead version of Norton because it was hanging up very nearly every application (part of Norton's secret plan with Microsoft to rule the world!)
Nevertheless . . . this was a mistake because it left the computer exposed to viruses and in they came in great abundance. The result is a disabled operating system which cannot be fixed without additional expense because there is no optical drive and no included disc copies of the software (all pre-loaded or downloaded). Ok..so that's all our fault, right..sure, then why the 2 star rating?
As I mentioned, this was 6 months into the ownership so I expected some sort of assistance from Amazon.com or HP. We went online and find out that you need to buy an external drive to load the recovery disk and/or pay for disc copies of the installation software. What!!! You mean we bought a computer with software pre-loaded and no way to replace it unless we pay for it!! PLUS, we need to repurchase the download of MS Office for $129.00! Why..because when you purchase the OS software and run an install, it wipes out your existing files including documents, purchased software downloads and all records of such purchases (remember we can't access those because of the OS failure!)
Bottom line, we own four Apple iMacs for the rest of our computing needs and NEVER have OS problems or viruses. So buyer beware.. when you venture into the nefarious territory of Microsfot/Norton/HP-PC based computing, get ready to pony up for lots of aggravation, continual upgrades and ongoing investments.
What was I thinking?!! Beware...only use your PC with some sort for virus protection and scan (yes I know everyone knows that!!) Only purchase this netbook if you plan to also purchase an external optical drive and backup discs of all software purchases (because the OS will fail, even without the viruses..just look at the other reviews of this netbook)

Great netbook so far Apr 09, 2010 I bought this for travel purposes. I used to have an HP Omnibook 800 (it's still around in the closet somewhere), which is sort of an ancestor of this idea, but with a much higher battery burn rate, due to the technology of the day. I ran Linux on it, and wrote my Ph.D. thesis on the thing. The form factor is great.
Today I find that technology and marketing have finally caught up with the idea of small form factor laptops, and they work better too. The Intel atom is a fairly powerful chip; it runs my software (which is all mathematical in nature, and more or less a direct test of CPU speed) at speeds comparable to a core duo Macbook at a slightly higher clock rate. I'm impressed. Even more impressive is the battery life, which, compared to the macbook, seems virtually infinite. It also loaded Ubuntu 9.10 fairly painlessly: much easier than upgrading OS-X on a macbook, and it seems to work better with limited memory. No reason to use the pre-loaded WinXP, though I kept it around just in case. Over all it seems very sturdy; I'm not worried about dropping this one. This particular model also has an excellent matte screen; glossy screens annoy the bejeepers out of me. Speaking of gloss, the dumb swirlie patterns on the case do help disguise finger markings a bit, however, making the case out of matte plastic (like the Omnibook was) would have worked better.
Downsides: the battery does stick out annoyingly. It's a clever engineering compromise, but it is a pain when you try to stash the thing in anything resembling a standard netbook case. I haven't gotten used to the weird trackpad yet: I don't see why they didn't stick the buttons underneath like everyone else does. Maybe a trackpad that much closer to the keyboard would have been inconvenient in a different way, so I'll live with it.
pray you get one that doesn't have tech issues Mar 04, 2010 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.
Fast shipping. Product as described. Would buy again Mar 03, 2010 The shipping was fast and the product was as described.
I would buy again and recommend this seller.
