The Internet is at the center of modern life keeping you connected and informed through email, IMs, RSS feeds, social networking sites and Search. Keeping up often requires time shifting with companion devices like netbooks. Powered by energy-efficient Intel Atom processors, the HP Mini 110 is optimized for Web access and can handle standard productivity apps - but is light enough to carry everywhere at just 2.33 lbs. Its LED anti-glare display reduces reflection that can distract from the visual experience, especially when used outside. The 92% of full-size keyboard enables much more efficient and comfortable use than texting (or typing on smartphone keyboards) for most. Windows 7 makes locating and connecting to hotspots easier and faster than ever. The HP Mini 110 is the perfect device for staying productive, informed and in touch. ....read more Average Customer Rating

Great little netbook
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I purchased the HP Mini 110-1125NR 10.1 netbook several weeks ago, and felt compelled to share with anyone interested on what a great little machine this is! After charging the battery, I started right in using it to surf the web and do e-mails. The battery really does seem to last for 8 – 9 hours between charges. I read reviews on several brands of netbooks and kept coming back to this one. It’s a great buy,has a sufficiently large keyboard, and convenient to use.
Very nice netbook
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I’ve had my netbook for a couple of weeks now and I’m very happy with it. The keyboard (as expressed here) is very comfortable. I’ve typed in Acer and other minis and my hands usually hurt or cramp when I type, but It’s very different with this mini.
The battery extends like an inch at the bottom of the netbook, but It doesn’t look exaggerated at all, in fact, this prevents dust from tables and places you put the mini from choking the fans (It has happened to me with other laptops and its a nightmare). And It also provides a comfortable tilt for typing.(for pics of the 6 cell battery, look for this same product in the black edition, there’s a picture of the battery dimensions there)
The computer looks very stylish (and trust me, I am very selective with computer styles. One of the things that disappointed me was that the Windows 7 starter has a lot of limitations (hey!nothing is perfect lol).I had to upgrade to the professional edition in order to personalize my mini and increase my multitasking. W7 starter doesn’t allow background and display changes. Also, sometimes video tend to play glitchy and the computer freezes, but I’ve notices that after downloading some updates, the problem has stopped (It may also be a slow internet connection). The volume of the speakers is somewhat low, but it has very good quality. Overall, I would recommend this product . Remember that mini technology is relatively new, I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future better processors and applications will make this computer -and others to come- A LOT more efficient. Its a very comfortable netbook, not god for heavy multitasking, but perfect for networking, typing projects, school/office jobs, etc. I really love the product…
Slowwww
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I purchased this computer 6 months ago and it
has never worked right. Turtle slow and HP tech “support”
in India was useless. Two attempts couln’t resolve the problem
and I spent 4.5 hours on the phone with them on one night.
I may have simply bought the one bad apple but HP’s service
is the worst I’ve ever seen!!! Stay away.
What the Doctor Ordered
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
A nice set up that actually does some pretty amazing things considering its size, and lowball price.
I found this model to be both responsive, and versitile. The webcam functions with a better picture than my 15.5 Toshiba, both with picture, and the quality of the audio.
Perfect for web use, and so light and easy to move from place to place as the day progresses.
For the unbelievably petty comments about the larger batter that affords a huge increase in time without plugging in, I would suggest the little whiners buy some other brand. I know HP, and love their products. HP is today what Dell was 10 years ago. The best product, the best support, and the best price.

I received the compu in time and order.I have little expirience with computers and I found it pretty easy to run .I ve still got to learn so many features dought.The touch pad mouse is very sensitive and one has to be extremly careful not to touch anything else because it flies to another page sooo easely.
Its a super netbook ,big letters ,very comfy .Im very happy.
Fabulous instant operating system option instead of Windows 7
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got it with 2gb memory as some reviewers suggsted. The IOS (Instant Operating System) boots in about 6 seconds (I didn’t know it had the option when I bought it). Awesome! It provides internet email, internet, and music and pictures (nothing else). If you want Windows 7 you just click on bottom left screen. The KB is close to being full sized and very clear. My first few days of use had the battery going 8+ hrs. The only downside (and this is true for all notebooks) is the small screen which requires a lot more scrolling to view info. One reviewer rated it 1 star because of the battery doubling the thickness, but I found this positive as it 1: gives a good grip when carrying 2: elevates the KB to a good angle for typing (and BTW, one of the side photos clearly shows the battery)
Surprising Performance
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I picked up an HP Mini 110 to use as a companion to my laptop when I didn’t want to lug the larger/heavier machine around. I have to admit I am pleasantly surprised at the performance. Other than for casual travel and personal use, I originally just intended to use it for note taking, light word processing, basic e-mail and web surfing, but I found it to be so useful I am using it throughout the day at work. It has completely replaced all of my manual paper note taking in meetings. It is small and light enough to carry around throughout the office just like you would carry a note pad.
Original out-of-the-box configuration with Windows 7 Starter, 1 Gig RAM and MS Works was a little disappointing. After upgrading the memory to 2 Gigs, I was very surprised and pleased with the difference in performance. So much so that I went ahead and upgraded the OS to Windows 7 Professional and installed the full version of Office 2007. The battery life has been great, I’m averaging about 6 to 7 hours with heavy usage throughout the day, longer with lighter usage.
From the work perspective, this little machine has given me a huge increase in productivity. Having the most critical business functionality of a full laptop in something small enough to carry around casually all day has been incredibly helpful.
Nobody Mentions One of the Best Features
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This computer comes with a built-in instant operating system (IOS) that is independent of Windows. You can start the computer and quickly bring up a simplified web browser and email tool. The WI-FI capable IOS launches quickly so email or favorite web sites are easy to check. For more operating features and printing, Windows can be launched with the usual longer boot-up time.
The IOS is mentioned briefly in HP’s official product specs, but I think they could make a strong case for the value of it.
I did not know the IOS existed when I bought this, but now I find it to be my favorite feature of the machine.
My review would be five star if the operating system were a full Windows 7 instead of the somewhat crippled starter edition.
Great computer.

Its a great computer however I cannot find out how to change the desktop wallpaper. I have a different version on windows 7 on a different laptop and change my wallpaper works fine on that one. but This hp mini has no option to change the wallpaper. Ive look online and other people are having the same problems with hp mini and windows 7 starter.
–update
Did some research and found out this wallpaper issue is because of windows 7 starter, With windows 7 starter you are not allowed to change the desktop wallpaper… I give this laptop a 4/5, and i give windows 7 starter a 2/5. I will be installing windows xp home on this hp mini.
Awesome Netbook!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Small and compact, fits perfectly in my book bag and weighs less than 3lbs. The battery life that I have experienced has been awesome, mine came with a 6-cell battery so I am looking at around 8 hours of battery life, but I haven’t timed nor tested this. I read another comment that was posted regarding the size of the netbook with the 6-cell battery in place. I agree that the pictures do not illustrate this, however, we’re talking an extra inch…maybe…in height on the backside. A plus to this extra inch is that the netbook now tilts forward which makes it easier for typing, kind of like the little “stilts” underneath a desktop keyboard. FYI, with the 6-cell battery in place it still fits in my caselogic 10.3in case/sleeve that I bought for it.
I have had my netbook for about a week now and I am really enjoying it. It gives me everything I need for school and now I don’t have to move around a cumbersome laptop, not to mention the battery life is about 2.5 times longer than most laptops.
Perfect for taking notes in class, working through excel, viewing PowerPoint, and checking email. I plan on putting it in the kitchen when I am done with grad school so my wife and I can store recipes or anything else we may need. With the wireless hook up and the compact size for $350 this netbook is a great addition to your home network.
One thing to remember, most netbooks (if not all) do not have CD/DVD Drives, so loading software such as MS Office will require you to purchase an external Disc Drive, about $100, or you will have to borrow a friend’s to load your software. The other option is downloading the desired software program off of the internet and loading the software that way.
*UPDATE* I’ve had my netbook for a few weeks now and it has proven to be one of the best electronic purchases I have ever made. The ability to type and organize my notes while in class is amazing, I will never go back to taking notes by hand. Also, the independent operating system that you can access without booting up the full windows 7 is phenomenal. It allows me to turn on my computer and be up in running in less than 8 seconds. I can access music, email, pictures, skype, chat, and the internet all from this quick boot-up feature. I simply can’t say enough good about this netbook. Pure and simple – A Great Buy!
Battery Life LONGER than stated in description!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
1st I want to say I love this netbook. Description says up to 3.75 hrs battery life??? If you go to HP website the battery life is up to 8 hrs(without wireless on). So far I have gotten 5 hrs of constant use with wireless on, brightest screen display and running multiple programs, before having to recharge battery.
Now as for battery size, pics are deceiving as is shown without battery. You can see exactly what it looks like with this battery attached if you look at the customer pics for the HP Mini 110-1030NR on this site. I happen to like the way this battery acts as a foot on the back for 2 reasons: more comfortable angle for typing and allows air circulation under the netbook so it doesn’t get so hot. But, if you need it to be completely flat for carrying, then this may not work for you. Fits just fine in my purse with battery, so works for me.
As for performance, I have had it for 1 week and so far am extremely impressed. The Windows 7 starter program works fine, but I opted to upgrade to the Home edition, which I love(was only $79 to upgrade). Windows 7 runs perfectly and has a lot of cool new features and is definetely the best Windows OS so far. I also appreciated that the media card reader will take my XD cards, as a lot do not. I have added a wireless laser mouse and am going to upgrade the memory to 2gb. By far, my favorite thing is the portability of this fully functioning computer. I am so excited about Amazon’s Kindle for PC program coming out next month, which will allow my netbook to be a book reader also.
Couldn’t be happier unless anyone can tell me how to keep my teenage daughter away from it!!! LOL
Battery is comical
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I haven’t even turned this on yet. I may bump it up a bit later. However, the battery on this thing is comical. I doubles the depth of the thing. Literally. All of the photos are misleading. the side photos don’t show the battery. Unless I missed something, like a second battery in the package (I didn’t), this is pretty bad. I’m surprised this isn’t a problem for anybody.
I’ll try to post some pics later.
