    HP Mini 210 Review

    Rohan Naravane, Feb 01, 2011 1652 hrs IST

    One of the best feel-good Netbooks under Rs. 20,000

    Sexy looks and color patterns, smooth and fairly accurate touch-pad, comfortable chiclet-shaped keyboard, sturdy build, better specs than usual Netbooks

    A little heavy in comparison, battery life not as stellar as others

When the first Netbook came out three years ago, the only thing that really excited us about it was its size, and more importantly, its price. First-generation Netbooks in comparison to what we've got today were horrible in terms of usability.

Today, we've reached new highs where Netbooks aren't only utilized for the three humble tasks they were originally designed for, like light internet surfing, office productivity and basic multimedia. They play 1080p HD videos these days, and can manage a bit gaming as well.

But that isn't the case with all. Still, most Netbooks today concentrate on affordable pricing, but tend to fall short in terms of quality. HP Mini series of Netbooks have always been known for their hightened level of usability; thanks to a good keyboard and accurate touch-pad.

The HP Mini 210 for test today is the latest variant of this series. It costs a little more than typical Rs. 15,000 Netbooks, but aims to give you a few things in return for the extra money you spend.

Hi...I have the HP mini and its Awesome....i have the silver abd black colour which looks great....its much faster than acer netbooks that my friends have....720p mpeg2 files play smoothly.....while H.264 have a problem in playing sometimes......keyboard is small but great.....touchpad is responsive too.....only downside is the up/down arrow keys....battery life is excellent.....for normal document editing and browsing @ 50 % brightness it runs for more than 7 hours.... all in all its a great buy.....

I strongly disagree with the 4 star rating for this netbook. It cant be justified only because of the pricing. Its got no processing power and it can barely play 720P. Is that the standard you're suggesting us ? I would suggest, wait for the HP pavillion DMz1. Its a netbook and has the latest AMD fusion, dual core. Can last for more than 9 hours. Can easily play 1080P,meaning it has a HDMI out.
