New HP Mini 210 HD Netbook And HP HSTNN-LB0P, HSTNN-LB1N Battery

What you are seeing here is the New HP Mini 210 HD Netbook  from HP.
The Mini 210 HD is the latest netbook  with  HP WA543UA#ABA WA544UA battery  from HP, offering a full 720P-compatible 1366×768 resolution on a compact 10.1-inch display. This model includes the 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor standard-with the faster 1.83GHz N475 for $25 more-as well as Intel GMA 3150 integrated graphics. In this review we see how well this netbook holds up against the competition and if you should consider this over a slightly more powerful CULV notebook.

The new design of the HP Mini and  HP WA546UA WA550UA WE823UA battery  really helps to enhance its looks and raise the expectation that this netbook isn’t a toy but rather a full-fledged designer notebook. The new Mini uses painted panels for the screen cover and bottom cover, adding a touch of color to each model. Compared to normal designs that leave the bottom with bland, unfinished black plastic, this really helps in the looks department. The interior was also given a facelift, featuring a flush-mount Synaptics touchpad with integrated buttons. It also makes use of a redesigned Chiclet keyboard with integrated function-key lights to show when certain features are activated. The new look is nothing short of astonishing.
Build quality is very good even with the bottom replacement HP mini 210 2102 battery  that snaps into place. When completely closed the HP Mini 210 has a sturdy feel and doesn’t show much flex under pressure. The screen cover does a good job of protecting the LCD and the bottom cover doesn’t creak or feel loose when properly reinstalled. On the inside the keyboard feels solid in its tray with very little flex or movement. The palmrest also holds up well, although if you have adult-sized hands your palms are hanging over the notebook and almost resting on the desk surface. In short, it is a pretty solid netbook with all things considered.

 
The HP Mini 210 has one of the most DIY-upgrade friendly designs with HP Mini 582213-421, 590543-001 battery we have ever seen in the NotebookReview offices. You can access all internal components without ever using a screwdriver … and the same can’t be said about other notebooks. HP designed the Mini 210 with a bottom panel that comes off using old-fashion finger power. With the bottom panel off users have access to the Wi-Fi card, open mini-PCIe slot for a Broadcom HD or WWAN card, system memory and hard drive. Any upgrade can be performed in seconds, and is much less intimidating for even the most basic of users.

The HP Mini 210 HD features a 93% fullsize Chiclet keyboard. For short term use the HP HSTNN-LB0P, HSTNN-LB1N battery  is comfortable to type on and feels as strong as typing on a regular notebook. The size though can feel slightly cramped depending on if you are used to typing on a larger notebook. For short term travel or light usage in the home for web browsing you probably won’t have any problem. If you intended to use this as your primary system, you might want to consider moving up to HP Mini 210 2102 AN06 battery which is closer to standard full-size while still being very portable.
The touchpad on the Mini 210 HD is a button-less Synaptics ClickPad with multitouch support. Compared to the twitchy variant found on the  HP 6BASBC2RYYC47W, 7F09C4 battery  recently reviewed, we found no such problems on this particular version. Unlike the earlier version, if your finger was resting on a pre-defined left/right button box, any movement on the main touchpad section would activate pinch-zoom. Now those areas are dead zones, preventing a lot of frustration we previously had. The touchpad surface was very smooth and almost glossy in texture. Sensitivity was excellent without any adjustment needed and acceleration on both axes was equal. It’s hard to say if the touchpad has reached the same ease of use level of the one found on the MacBooks’, but it is getting very close.
