Most netbooks that you will search on the market these days are not perfectly planned for office workers, arriving in a range of bright colours that had appear instead odd in the hands of a businessman. Though the HP Small 210-3002sa lives up to this preconception at least partly, arriving in a 'Matte Luminous Rose' edition, it does too arrive in a much more sensible hue – the edition we appeared at was somewhere among steely and midnight grey.


As long as netbooks go, the HP Small is somewhat quicker than the average, though a WorldBench Six score of 38 is even some way short of still low-end ultraportable laptops. So it is not actually probably to be versatile sufficient for a business user, struggling by anything more complex than Office programs, though if you just need something for assuring email on the move and the odd bit of web-based research then it had be exactly adequate.


The keyboard, consorting to HP, is 93% complete-sized, and it is so functional, enabling you to type with barely fault. Entire the keys are break from every other and the arrow keys are very usable. Under the keyboard is a touch pad that

supports multi-touch motions and can be turned off while you are typing if you wish. The touch pad is too textured, meaning that it is simple for your fingers to search less you having to look away from the display.


But actually, contempt its sensible appears, the HP Mini is all about entertainment. It features a stereo speaker system created through Beats Sounds and the sound quality it offers is nothing short of astounding, handling all we threw at it so well, from bassy dance song to shrill sopranos.


The 10.1in, 1024 x 600 display is decent, with an anti-glare coating on the glossy end that functions fairly good less creating the colours dull and it has a broad viewing angle also.


Netbooks require to withstand a bit of a battering as they are planned to travel around with you and the HP Small looks to be tough sufficient for this type of lifestyle, whereas many other netbooks we have seen experience plasticky and unsuitable for the stresses and strains of life on the road. It is a nice weight at 1.39kg, though this is even substantially heavier than an 11-inch MacBook Air, for example, but it definitely would not give you any back problem.
