A good, cheap alternative, or maybe just cheap? With their current netbook boom, Eee PC and co have proved many critics wrong. Many people want to use cheap, portable netbooks, with minimal hardware, as a mobile office. Due to this high demand, the netbooks are a growing trend. The HP 6735s belongs to this "trend", as it is cheap, portable, and it offers an interesting mix of connections.
