Mini Laptops

I have the Acer Aspire One (with 8.9 inch screen, 160GB drive, XP.)

These are fantastic little machines. But I don't own the HP one but for some the keyboards are too tiny.

Let me share I added a Logitech Nano V450 mouse to mine and it may be why I don't think the keyboard is all that bad.

I really do care abouat the keyboard since I plan to take it to Europe and really need things LIGHT as possible. I've heard the Acer is great, though, so....

That someone with the HP will chime in. I'm sharing since I own the Acer and it's working fab. I shared what I added (and a bit more later) to boost the usability (that V450 Nano Mouse.)

Just yesterday I installed my Cirago bluetooth module. See http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=BTA-3210-EDR&cm_mmc=Geeks_Showroom-_-Networking-_-BluetoothItems-_-BTA-3210-EDR and other places. It installed WITHOUT any additional drivers which is what I prefer for such things. Same story for the Logitech V450 Nano mouse.

Hope this helps,
Bob

Thanks, Bob. It helps a lot. I just wish someone who knows the HP would say something. I can wait a week, so we'll see.

Happy Holidays!

All the keyboards suck on anything called a "netbook". Unless you type with a point stick, the keyboard is only for casual use.

You need a 12" widescreen as a minimum to have a full size keyboard.
Lenovo X200 and X300 would be where I'd go if I wanted a mini that was going to be a working laptop. Can't speak as to the Apple Mac Air's keyboard.
