Mini Laptops Review: HP Mini 1103

The HP Mini 1103 netbook is one of the last class of business in the market for extreme portability and battery life for extremely low prices. It is the 10-inch netbook for $ 300 from the cash register of your company or your manager to spend a little more serious on a laptop?

Construction and Design

Anyone with a business class price laptops HP Mini Netbook with these ultra-portable build a better quality of what consumers find in as ministers of HP. Well, that was the case with the HP Mini 1103 is reached.

At first glance, there is little that the new HP Mini 1103 and HP's consumer Mini 210 different HD. The new design of 1103 has an outer layer similar to HP Pavilion and dm1z dm3t flag, but is practically identical to the rest of the Mini line. focuses In fact, the only design element that really stands out as a company for the use of matte black plastic on the bottom half of the casing and keyboard.

Despite the emergence of the consumer, build quality is good enough for the average traveler. I do not recommend the Mini 1103 for outdoors in a storm, but I would not hesitate to throw in a briefcase or purse and run to a meeting with a client. When the lid is closed, feel the HP 1103 Mini solid sample and not much bend under pressure. The palm rest also provides plenty of support during the strike, even if the size of the adult's hands-is likely to be little room for comfort in this small keyboard.

A design element that I find particularly interesting (if not very useful) is the hinge of the screen moves all the way back to the netbook to enable open, completely flat. I'm not sure how many people need this feature.

The HP Mini 1103 has the same design easy upgrade we've seen in several HP laptops and netbooks. Simply remove the battery in the rear of the Netbook, orange push release switch on one side and you can remove the bottom plate of mini 1103rd can not use a screwdriver, if you remove the hard drive or wireless card. RAM without additional tools, simply. In short, a manager is not made fundamental improvements.

Connections and functions

The HP Mini 1103 has three USB 2.0 ports, VGA output, a headphone jack, and Ethernet. The system includes a SDHC card slot. This is not a particularly impressive collection of ports for a business notebook, but the selection of port here is part of the course when it comes to netbooks. Maybe we will see at least one USB 3.0 port in the next year model.
