HP Mini 10 – The Wife Still Has It

Back in August, I wrote an article talking about an HP Mini 10 and that I installed Windows 7 Ultimate RC on.  Since then, I have not been able to use the Netbook, my wife is still using it.

Yes, that is right.

She has been using it for the last several months.  She works part-time for a Hospice organization and is able to telecommute.  She is RDP-ing into a server and using that servers resources.  It makes great sense for her, except for the screen size; which is of course is to small for some of her work.  She has become quite comfortable with it for the purpose of work and using it on a daily basis for eMail and other work.

On the other hand, my 3 yr old  has let us know that it is to slow for online flash games and video.  Which is quite hilarious because he isn’t on our iMac that often or for that long.  He has however, formed an opinion and doesn’t like to use the HP Mimi 10.

I have to admit that I like the small form factor for the most part.  I don’t like the touch pad because it is to small and awkward.  An Apple touch pad would be much more functional and probably more useful because of it’s functionality.  One of my favorite features is the SD Card slot which seats the card firmly into the case and easy to eject when necessary.  My second favorite feature is the use of design and a Transcend JetFlash T3 drive that hides in the side of the computer totally flush with the body of the Netbook.  The only indicator is the USB Symbol and the notch to extract the drive.

I just wonder when I will get to use it so that I can actually write a review for it.
