HP Mini Note 1000 sells for Php21,950

i still say go for the MSI Wind. i heard the price is almost the same as this one but users still have the option to add another 1GB if they need it for something heavier than internet browsing and typing.

i use mine to do code compilations and other types of work so the 2GB is really paying off.

ciao!

Very tempting….;) But the limit on the RAM is a bit discouraging. And why on earth did they put in a 60GB HDD? 0_o

This is a non-starter for me, simply because you need to buy an adapter costing US$80 for VGA out (which isn’t included in the base unit) – necessary for presentations. Also I don’t get why HP decided to use a 1.8″ 4200 RPM IDE drive for this, which causes performance to suffer relative to other Atom-powered netbooks.

At 2.5 pounds, the Mini 1000 is a touch lighter than the Lenovo S10 (2.7 pounds) and the MSI Wind (2.6 pounds). All three of these notebooks have 10-inch widescreens. The Mini 1000’s, however, is better designed. The glass screen is flush with the surrounding black borders—a technique commonly used in HDTVs. The speakers, which were adjacent to the screen on the Mini-Note, are now built into the hinge and sound better than the ones on the S10 and the Wind.

Got to have 1 now! happy holidays Abe!

awww the price is tempting as well as the built-in speakers. but the i find the 60GB 4800 rpm HD pretty bad. hope that lenovo will lower its price now this one’s available.

ASUS N10J (except C model) comes with Microsoft Vista Home Premium. The best price offer on the net I’ve seen so far –> Php 25,407.56 :D

Some shops at V-Mall Greenhills Shopping Center are selling the N10J for ~40 grand. Dang.

i got my HP MiniNote 1000 on the 2nd week of December, or more appropriately, the very first day it was being displayed in a retail shop in the Philippines. i didn’t hesitate in getting it because i have been scouring the expanse of all the netbooks being sold. HP MiniNote 1000 caught my attention big time but it isn’t a perfect netbook to have and to hold. afterall, there is no such thing as a perfect device. to each his own.

few major letdowns i discovered:

1) the HP MN 1000 HDD is not your typical netbook HDD. it uses HDD similar to that being used by portable mp3 players. so its boot up time is tad too slow.

2) screen is scratch-prone unless you put a screen protector in it.

3) heats up a bit when playing video. i guess it is because it uses a lot of its CPU power when playing video as compared to other apps.

on the other hand, it bags itself a bevy of features that would unravel one’s delight:

1) design is so sleek and sexy but the lid is a smudge magnet. that is probably the reason why it got its small lint free cloth for wiping.

2) lightweight and compact

3) keyboard has a nice touchy feel, even for those with stubby, large fingers

4) battery life is good enough. i tried logging in at Taco Bell(Gateway) 4pm and went out around 6:45pm, only online use(without multimedia app).

5) speaker is good enough too.

@gpc: where did you see Asus NJ10 that is sold around Php25k. mind if you could post the site here?(if Mr. Yugatech will allow it).
