I’ve been checking out netbooks online for a while now. Sort of lurking and stalking the whole category of little laptops built for portability and on-the-go use. With a conference this weekend, i thought what better chance to try one out.
I ended up w/ the HP Mini – i wasn’t even looking at HP but the design and local availability swung me over. Got it at best buy and feel ok about it in party because they have a zero restocking fee policy now. 14 days i can play w/ this thing and see if I like.
What i may end up doing is getting the linux version and then adding some more ram and larger HD – there’s also what looks like a vga adaptor in the works which is a must.
I plan to post a review no matter what I end up doing w/ this model I have now…
Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
