I happened to have a little extra cash, so I bought this. I did not purchase this product for its functionality. I have other computers with much larger hard drives and sturdier casings. I bought this because it was a fashion statement for my Red Hat years, albeit an expensive one. It is a gorgeous shade of nail laquer red with antique gold lettering on the keyboard. The keys remind me of Chinese ceramic tiles. It is not as light as I thought it would be, but it is light enough to keep in my purse without feeling the extra weight. It has Win XP and starts up fast. The wireless LAN found a connection instantly. It has very little software so you won’t waste much time getting rid of what you don’t want. I understand that when “designer” is added to anything, it ups the price, but this could be a little cheaper. I wish it came with the matching mouse. It does come with a shiny red satin bag, which I don’t care for because it’s too gaudy for my taste. HP brought down the price of the matching tote bag and scarf, however. Get noticed!
03/09 Update
I just ordered the matching mouse from Beach Audio through Amazon-expensive but it completes the set. HP doesn’t carry it and doesn’t plan to according to the response I got from them. I just received the matching tote and scarf from HP. I like the scarf but not the tote. The tote is canvas and quite sturdy-plenty of room in the separate slot for the computer, extra battery and the mouse. But the large floral design is not to my taste. It was half price when I ordered it so I will keep it. I may learn to like it.
BTW, the photo above shows the additional black battery that can be ordered. The original battery is red, like the computer.

I purchased this little gem on 2/5/09, albeit I ordered it from hpshopping and not Amazon. I had no idea Amazon carried it, so didn’t look anywhere else for it. I LOVE IT. It works great, is very light and compact, and certainly is eye-catching. The smaller keyboard took a little adjusting to, but it’s fine. As in the other review I read, I wish I could have gotten the matching “mouse”. Don’t know why they made it, then didn’t offer it for purchase. Ladies, I’m over 60, and love this thing – you should get one too!

this is a great netbook. the keyboard is surprisingly large enough so that you feel like you are actually typing instead of texting. it is quiet, very portable and perfect for internet use. my only complaint so far is that the finish on the keys should have been a matte plastic as it picks up every single fingerprint, therefore it always looks dirty.
