HP Mini 1030NR

I just bought this HP Mini 1030NR netbook from Best Buy yesterday with all the giftcards I had and I must say that this netbook is awesome! It has a webcam built into it and it’s great for when you are on the go. Although, after testing the webcam...the display is horrible. I had to send it in to get repaired. The resolution is really dark. That's the biggest flaw, but as a computer itself, it works fine. It is very light considering it only wieghs 3 pounds! I feel its better to carry around something like this than a laptop because they both perform the same functions. I was told that this netbook is very durable and with 1 GB of RAM, its pretty quick. I’m really glad I bought this and considering its an HP, you can’t go wrong there!

We will have 2 main machines. A Netbook like the HP, EEE, or AcerOne. Then there will be the 17"+ desktop replacement we always leave at home. Once you're all setup with these, add into it the Windows Home Server and you'll be all set.

I noticed this HP in Staples the other day, and i have to agree with most, it is a sweet little machine. I still think the DVD drive is really needed in there somewhere though.

Saving up to get something like the Sony VAIO VGN, it's just so darn expensive.

I am interested in the Fujitsu models too, their Lifebooks are totally cool and almost as small as a PDA.

I love my 2.5 pound Fujitsu Tablet PC: Fujitsu LifeBook P1510D and its 8.5" touchscreen.
