HP Mini 210-1050NR 10.1-Inch Silver Netbook – 9.75 Hours of Battery Life Review


So far, so good. I’m very happy with my Mini. I bought it because I had owned an HP Mini 1020 for over a year and was pleased with it. My change was because of more advanced technical specifications, such as: a bigger and faster HD(60GB vs. 250GB, muuuuuuch longer battery life (which means I don’t have to carry the charger around anymore), prettier (it’s red), VGA, ethernet and three USB connections, etc.
BUTS… I don’t believe it: IT DOES NOT HAVE BLUETOOTH!!!! My other HP Mini, much simpler, had it. The Amazon product description said this one did but … oh, surprise: no, it does not have it. That’s why I gave it a 4 star rating. So what, I can live without bluetooth. =)

Nothing but trouble – Karen S D Robinson – Loveland, CO USA
When it works, I like this product very much. I bought it to use the kindle emulator and read e-books, and when it works I enjoy it. However, I spent 6 hours on the phone with friendly but unhelpful HP people trying to get the virus protection working, as well as 9 more hours babysitting a download they started that never worked. The woman told me that the Norton that came with the machine “doesn’t have virus protection”. Every time I called them they tried to sell me something new (useless things like a lap pad) rather than fixing my existing problem. I finally had to pay a local repairman to install virus protection.

One serious design flaw is that you can’t use the machine while both the battery and cord are in place. You have to turn it off to recharge the battery. If you want to use the cord to run it, you have to take out the battery. The HP guys told me this was why it would randomly turn itself off and not be able to boot again. But even when I stopped doing that, it still frequently won’t boot and I have to take out the battery and start over.

I wish I’d bought this from amazon, because I’d really like to get a different machine. But since I got it from Office Max, I’m stuck with it.

Great mini! – Nicole – Orlando, FL
I debated over a few different models for a month before finally deciding to go with the HP-Mini 210-1080NR. I need a light weight computer with good battery life for college. I’m so glad that I chose this one! The blue is really nice. I thought it looked a little too bright in pictures, but in person it’s a nice color. The battery is a little larger, but it creates space for air to get through and lifts the keyboard to a comfortable typing place. The battery has lasted me the full amount – very impressed. I upgraded the RAM to 2GB and it’s super fast.

Definitely really happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a netbook.
