HP Mini 1104 netbook: portable computing on the cheap

Ultrabooks may have been all the rage at CES 2012, welcoming a new category of personal computers that are both small and increasingly powerful. That does not mean netbooks are dead. Far from it, it seems. Not as long as affordable computers such as the HP 1104 Mini continue to deliver a decent level of performance at lower costs.

The HP Mini 1104, for example costs under £400. For that price owners will get a Windows 7 Home Premium computer with a 10.1-inch display, dual-core Intel Atom N2600 1.6GHz processor, 320GB of storage, and 2GB of RAM.

There are also plenty of connectivity options on offer, with support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and the option to swap the battery for a longer lasting one capable of nine-hours worth of juice. The small size of the HP Mini 1104 should make carrying it around a breeze.

Specs-wise the HP Mini 1104 at least sounds like it stands its own ground at a cost that not too many students would baulk at in horror, and those smooth curved edges are not too shabby to look at either. A portable netbook offering some decent specs at a low price, and with looks to match does not sound bad to us at all.

I'm sure i read the word 'CHEAP' in this article. Maybe you should have put 'PREMIUM' instead, to match the price, as this is not cheap, or even that good value. £300 or under, then maybe!.
