HP 210: Great netbook or greatest netbook?
Cnet posted a review of the HP. The review unit received by Cnet had a pink design, although if you customize on the HP website You can choose from such colors as silver, red, blue, and "white crystals with white keyboard." Looking past the design, the netbook performed like a netbook, meaning nothing special. The Cnet reviewer did give high praise to the keyboard, which provided 93% of the size of a full-size keyboard, and its touchpad, which imitated the large clicky-types found on Macs. Although the $379 price tag is steep compared to the competition, HP has garnered a good reputation with their netbooks and that does include Windows 7, a 250gb hard drive, and a higher resolution 10.1in screen (1366x768.) Unfortunately, the 6-cell battery which gets you about 6 hours of battery life does protrude from the back, but that's a small price to pay for such an excellent machine. Aside from the price, I wish they would bring back the option to include a Broadcom HD chip which helps the computer process online. Oh well.
