HP Pink Chic Mini Laptop
The HP Mini 110 Pink Chic laptop is one of several netbook computers which are on the market today that are combining cool colors and fairly respectable computing power. The 110-1129 happens to be all pink, not just the cover, and more.
We recently took a closer look at the HP Pink Chic which is designed with a nice floral imprint which gives it far more style than just a pink laptop. The idea is apparently that these special additions are not so hard to find but that they will appeal to certain people who not only like pink laptops but who like a bit more of an artistic look about their netbook computer.
The HP Mini laptops which we have reviewed in the past have all provided us with nice quick boot up times and the Pink Chic follows suit as expected. Once into the operating system, which happens to thankfully be Windows XP, we quickly began to find out how hard we could push this netbook in an everyday multitasking approach. Of course the netbooks are a different beast when compared to the full sized laptops out there but with models such as this they are actually advancing a bit beyond their first inceptions a couple of years back.
The netbook is designed around the standard Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor which is in numerous mini laptop models these days and really does work extremely well when managing power. After all when you use an ultra portable netbook computer you know you will be away from the power outlet for extended lengths of time so this is pretty important for most users. The processor has a typical 512MB cache which provides adequate responsiveness during most everyday multitasking operations. The laptop which we reviewed had 1GB of RAM installed and as we said it thankfully had Windows XP installed meaning that the computer was zippy and responsive.
Although overall the netbook seemed to function just like any of the other makes and models with relatively the same specs as from the other laptop manufacturers, the HP Mini 110 does hold its own in this rather similarly tight market category. Sure there are much higher end HP laptops and netbooks but the Pink Chic offers quite a bit for the money really.
You should not have to shy away from watching video files too much with the Intel 950 Media Accelerator 950 which this system uses. As a matter of fact with XP the operations were much better than any of the Vista testing we have done as this should be no surprise to anyone. The main thing being the overall core of how the operating system functions as well as the amount of hardware necessary to actually do even the basics without getting horribly bogged down. Thank you XP!
Getting online was a breeze and the HP Pink Chic colored laptop offers Bluetooth as well. Going beyond this is a decent amount of versatility when it comes to ports and external device usage. For example the 5-in-1 integrated digital media reader and three USB 2.0 slots allow the user to easily hook up to their array of external devices.
