Finally a New Netbook

My new HP Mini 110 Netbook

Man, this netbook been on my list like forever. I really couldn't afford to get it this month, but I really really wanted it and needed it for a back up, just in case my old HP Laptop gives up on me. I am very happy with it. It just came with a battery and a charger.

Question: How the battery life?
Answer: Well I tried charging it to the fullest before I headed out today. But to my excitement, its not fully charged. Right now, I'm running on battery, blogging inside McDonald in Macon and battery states 82% and 3hours and 41 minutes remaining. Not bad. That's one of the reason why I chose a netbook.

Question: Was it your first choice?
Answer: YES, I was actually very specific on what type of netbook I wanted. Because I am really impressed with my HP Pavilion Laptop, I staying with this brand. Although, I was going to purchase the Acer Netbook due to a lower price, I think it was $20 or $40 less. But I decided quality might be ideal and I wouldn't want to regret my purchase later and have to wonder what would it be like with this HP Mini.

Question: How much did it cost?
Answer: $248.00 and ofcourse Walmart.com charged me tax extra $14.94 and shipping and handling for $.97 cents. Not bad for shipping. And the shipping arrived pretty quickly. Ordered it Friday and arrived today on Wednesday.

Question: What's the main reason for choosing a netbook vs a laptop?
Answer: Compact size. Perfect for blogging and staying connected online. I'm an advent blogger and I love the portability and the battery life. And it course its a few hundred dollars cheapter than a laptop. Because of its large hardrive space of over 200GB thats plenty of virtual space to house all of my PDFs, Audio and Video files. and I really love the edge to edge full size keyboard, webcam, mic, 3 USB slot and multiple camera card reader.
