Reviews for the HP Mini 1035NR

60% HP Mini 1035NR Netbook Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews English
HP's sophmore entry in the netbook category brings some exciting features into a more consumer oriented model but drops too many features unique to the older 2133 Mini-Note. The best feature of the HP Mini 1035NR has to be its spacious and well laid out keyboard. The larger 10.2-inch display is also one of the brightest on the market. They also made a great decision to include Bluetooth for wireless peripherals. It is too bad then that they made some big mistakes by dropping the number of peripheral ports, using a smaller and slower hard drive than their competitors and leaving the difficult to use trackpad.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

10.2": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions.

1.1 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

HP reviews

60%: Such a bad rating is rare. There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse.
