posted by maca to technology (38 answers total) 43 users marked this as a favorite I bought an older version of the HP mini-note when it was on sale for $299 (currently,Windows 7 Home Premium 64, the model with 10.2" screen retails for about $450 and features XP and an upgraded Intel Atom processor). I am extremely happy with it and can't recommend it enough: every other netbook I've played with feels like a flimsy and cheap toy in comparison, including MSI,Windows Starter, Acer, and Dell netbooks.

The build quality is excellent.

I have it running the Win 7 beta and it's as snappy as XP.
