HP Mini notebook

Okay well I think it really depends what you plan on using it for. If you don’t plan on doing extremely intensive stuff with it, such as hardcore movie editing and creating, etc. then you might want something with a little more power (also costs a bit more $$).
If you want it mostly for web surfing, email, chat, typing up papers, powerpoint, etc. then this little netbook is perfect! And it has 80gigs, which is awesome for a computer this size. It’s great that it has Windows XP because Vista is really bad…so many bugs, and in general it is a very unstable operating system.

All in all, I say go for it!

Yes and no, everything is good, except for your memory, hard drive and battery. You only have 1GB and 24MB RAM, if you plan on using it for gaming or pictures, it will crash. You will have a very short amount of time with your battery, and 80GB is only a couple thousand pictures.
