HP Mini 100e Review
The HP Mini-Note netbook is training 100 with a carrying handle single body shell mounted, and the frame incredible strength.
The HP Mini-Note is one hundredth latest education-oriented netbook to hit the market, designed exclusively for school and break the rules of consumer channels. This model has a unique folding design with integrated handle and strong body. In this review, see how it compares with similar models, including Dell Latitude 2100, so you can decide if the netbook is ideal for your school.
Design and construction
The HP Mini seems 100th Unlike most netbooks currently on the market. HP has started from scratch and fresh team is super strong, easy to use and easy to carry. From top to bottom this netbook is designed for abuse committed by a child, day after day, and continue working as expected. The 100th Mini has a white plastic outer shell and a very consistent color palette in the Dell latitude d520 battery. The same plastic that is outside of the netbook is everywhere inside, including the surface of the touch screen and the frame of the screen that the system of a highly industrialized. If you are looking for a netbook designers, look elsewhere. It has a carrying handle on board are all about function over form, eliminating the need for external boxes to complete the system. Everything in this system is designed for school administrators please be easily repaired to be easy to store, at the end of the day, when school lets out.
The body of the Mini 100 is a durable plastic that seems to be more comfortable in a rugged notebook, rather than a netbook. When the system is an open space around the screen keyboard of any slowdown. The palm rest was rock solid with the keyboard alone and ends near the display hinges. Even the hinges are very strong, completely without hesitation, and the display remains sealed when the system is closed. Even the keyboard seems to be a cut above what was found in standard laptop with a trademark symbol instead of each being printed on the surface of the keys.
The HP Mini 100 is very easy to upgrade, although we were surprised not to see any children deterence mechanism to prevent tampering by students. With the battery, the two screws that hold the cover in place is revealed. Once the cap falls to access the wireless card, hard drive and system memory. The hard disk has a protection against impacts by small partial rings that isolate the unit from the chassis, so perhaps in a fall during the classes. In general, one can say that this netbook is one of, if not the easiest to update the model on the market.
The screen and the President
The Mini 100 is screen resolution of 1024x576 LED-backlit panel, which is a standard feature on most consumer netbooks. Users who try to write long documents or Web pages show the latest in some of them might be more horizontal scrolling, but like anything that can be found in other Fujitsu lifebook t4010 battery. The screen was easily visible under bright fluorescent lights, the office, even with brightness turned down slightly. With our May Gossen light meter measured a maximum brightness of 207 nits and a contrast ratio of 140:1 of the media. The screen has a matte finish that helps reduce glare in most conditions, although it was not enough for use outside the system, because the screen was not strong enough to overcome the sunlight. The color quality is average when compared to other netbooks matte finish and very nice to see, edit or create images.
System users seeking high-quality sound in a netbook should perhaps look elsewhere, like the Mini 100 is labeled as a mono speaker. Compared to other netbooks, it is difficult to say whether it has made a significant difference to eliminate the second speaker, but like most of the low and medium systems were lacking altogether. The maximum volume levels well to listen to presentations or videos from YouTube, but if you enjoy music or a movie, the connection of headphones is the preferred method.
Keyboard and touchpad
The keyboard feels very strong Mini 100, maintaining a level of comfort that consumers want a netbook. The buttons seem more solid than it is in a netbook or laptop when you are drinking. The most important was recorded instead of printing labels, meaning that they do not disappear with time. The keyboard tray set to zero deformation at high pressure, which indicates excellent support from below. I found a 92% size of design to be comfortable to write, but if the opportunity, I'd probably choose a standard laptop for extended typing sessions. Little hands can not have this problem though. The indicators for caps lock, volume, mute, and wireless on / off switch are integrated into the keyboard function keys designated.
The touchpad is a Synaptics model, roomy without multitouch functionality. The control panel contains zones touch pad gestures, but all are gray indicates that the features are disabled in hardware or software. The touchpad is very sensitive, even with a touch of slightly textured surface. The surface is made of plastic like the rest of the body netbook and it was very easy to navigate with very little friction. The touchpad buttons are easy to ignite with a deep regeneration, soft launch when pressed. The noise is minimal, so you do not have to listen to hundreds of button on the touch pad in a class full of these little netbooks.
Ports and Features
TheHP Compaq 6510b battery has a good selection of songs, including two USB 2.0 (one on each side), VGA, LAN, modem, headphone / microphone, and an SD card. Most netbooks currently on the market include three USB ports, but considering the target market education, most students will probably not be a lot of connecting devices to the netbook. Another interesting feature is similar to the Dell Inspiron 2100 is a network activity LED at the top of the top of the screen, which allows an instructor to check if students are surfing the Internet in the classroom.
Performance and benchmarks
System performance was compared to average of other models in the netbook market for consumption. The Mini 100 is powered by an Intel Atom N455 with a clock speed of 1.66 GHz and GMA 3150. Apart from the local HD playy decode HD video streaming or flash, the system had no problems with normal activities. Office productivity software, or in the classroom was not a problem for 100, making presentations or writing class work a breeze. This netbook is the first operating system pre-installed Microsoft Security Essentials for protection against viruses, which took place in the background. Compared with other AV packages are endless applications for the user or pop-ups, in fact, went unnoticed for a couple of days.
Heat and noise
The system noise is minimal, with the energy efficient Intel Atom processor and integrated graphics. Temperature, even at full load and the body just increased fan speed is still modest. At rest or the use of light was intermittent HP Compaq nx6125 battery and cools quickly after cooler. When you run the fan noise was a little less than a whisper, and was not heard if my head was near the port of discharge.
Battery
The HP Mini 100th can be configured with three or six cells, with our particular model comes with three cells. With a capacity of 26Wh measure does not expect to see a record that is in ASUS 1005PE (which received more than 12 hours in our tests). When the screen is reduced to 70% brightess, wireless active and updating a web page every 60 seconds, Windows 7 and 100th Mini equilibrium profile remained for 3 hours and 55 minutes. In this test system consumes between 6.7 watts on average. We expect to double about the battery life goes with the 6 cell battery.
Conclusion
The HP Mini-100 is one of the most attractive netbooks seemed a long time. With a design reminiscent of the original OLPC body with a built-in command, and carrying handle, the 100th Mini was designed to be very robust and easy to use. We found that the body is very high with very rigid and almost as stiff as a durable notebook. The keyboard and touchpad are more durable than the average in the consumer Sony vgp-bps13a, which should take the daily abuse of a class.
The system was designed to be easy to maintain from the computational point of view, all the pieces that easy access by simply removing a panel at the bottom of the frame. Overall for a netbook designed specifically for the education market, I think HP has done a great plan that should be kept for years without any problems.
