Best Netbook May 17, 2010
By Miss Portinari I am very pleased with this netbook. It runs beautifully, and actually has a battery life closer to five hours rather than the 4.25 stated by Amazon.
The butterfly motif is beautiful on the outside, and in the inside matching icons and wallpapers are beautiful too. The start button has been converted into a butterfly, and it "flies away" when you press it. Too cute.
I usually have issues using the touchpad on laptops and netbooks, but am happy to report that this is not so on this model.
The 2gb RAM is wonderful too, as it is twice the RAM usually found in netbooks. It was a nice bonus to not have to install more RAM right out of the box. And this has Windows 7 Premium instead of the usual Windows 7 starter.
The butterfly motif may not be for everyone, but I personally love it, but I love even more that the specs (processor, battery life, RAM, screen, OS, etc)on this particular model are as good as or better than those of other netbooks currently on the market. It may have been made with women in mind, but this netbook is no weakling.

Good size, slow processor Jul 21, 2010
By joan_smiths I bought this netbook for travel. It is a good size for that. I chose this particular model because I wanted to try Windows 7 and this was the ONLY one that I could find that didn't come with just the starter version - it comes with the full Home Premium version, so I didn't need to upgrade after purchasing. It also comes with 2GB of RAM, which was hard to find without customizing on the manufacturers' websites.
I could not use this computer as my everyday working model! It is only good for short periods of time that don't require high productivity. My reasons for saying this are:
--It is very slow. I started out using the cute butterfly theme, but it was soooo slow that I had to go back to a basic windows desktop. Even with that, it is still pretty slow. It is a shame that you can't take full advantage of some of Windows 7's features because of the amount of cpu that it uses. In retrospect, I would have purchased a netbook with Windows XP.
--The windows are usually cut off on the bottom and you have to keep moving them to see the bottom or to click "OK". Sometimes, you can't even get to the bottom, which is very frustrating. This is not just a problem with this model, I think that most netbooks have this issue.
--The font size is so teeny that you have to strain to see it or use reading glasses. Again, probably the nature of the beast with netbooks.
--The software it comes with is pretty limited, and mostly trial versions. For this price, I think it should have at least included MS Office full version. Also, Windows 7 doesn't include an email program, so you have to find your own.
--A big drawback to the netbook is that there is no CD/DVD drive, so if you want to put software on it, you have to find another way to get it on there. All of this takes more time and effort.
All in all, it serves its purpose as a limited time, travel computer. And it is very pretty, but not worth paying that much extra money for!

Perfect laptop... literally! May 08, 2010
By Larissa Campbell I travel a lot for business and needed a laptop that was easy to travel with and could keep up the pace. I'm always working on several documents at once and haven't had any problems with the computer freezing. Yippee...! A keeper in my book. Perfect gift for Mother's Day.

Met All Expectations Oct 10, 2010
By Brock H We purchased this HP Mini-210-1099SE so my wife could have a small, lightweight net book for travel. It had to handle e-mail, a very large volume of photos and go online. This is her 7th computer (4th laptop) so she's very particular. It's also the second HP Mini we've purchased. While we were very happy with the first one, the 2 GB of internal memory and the faster processor of this one were a welcome upgrade. We loaded it with Open Office, Firefox, ACDSee, Malware Bytes, Spyware Doctor and a few other programs. The trial version of Norton Antivirus installed on the machine ran without problems. We were also able to install and run Eudora email which ran fairly well, even with numerous and very large mailboxes.
Pros- light weight, excellent screen, good keyboard for it's size, built in wireless, built in video camera, solid construction, SD card slot, large hard drive and distinctive look.
Cons- none major or unique to this machine. All netbooks have similar negatives such as smaller screens, slower performance, no CD/DVD drive and, for some, a little awkwardness using a slightly smaller keyboard. While it worked fine for photos, the lag time with larger (3-6MB files) was sometimes frustrating, but we expected that.
We'd definitely buy the HP Mini 210-1099SE again.

HP MINI ... IT'S SO CUTE!! Aug 21, 2010
By Merry Mary
"Pacific Northwest Gardener"
I LOVE my HP Vivienne Tam Mini netbook! My husband and I are semi-retired and travel quite a bit and it was a real pain to drag around my 17" notebook. I especially love this one because it comes with more memory and a bigger hard drive than most of the other netbooks ... plus it has the full Windows 7, not the skeletal version. It has been aces right out of the box.
I did buy a wireless mouse (I'm really bad with the pad), a thumb drive with Ready Boost to speed things up and an external DVD drive so I can watch movies on the road and burn my travel photos to disc. That didn't really add much to the cost and everything fits into a padded "mini" backback. Perfect for traveling. I also use it in the kitchen to read on-line recipes while I cook and listen to Pandora Radio!
My only semi-negative is the battery life. I will probably upgrade to the 6-cell sometime in the future, but the 3-cell one it comes with is not a deal breaker. It's fine.

UPDATE: 10 months in and the hard-drive failed. Not good, and I'm getting the run-around by HP. Well, it was nice while it lasted. Won't be buying any more HP products.
