Compaq Mini 110

After using the Compaq mini 110 netbook I thought of preparing a guide for those who are willing to get the new mini netbook. I found that the Compaq mini 110 is the European equivalent to the HP mini 110 netbook which have been released in the US.

To start with I must say the Compaq mini 110 netbook is smaller than any other traditional laptop. It is small and quite easy to carry. The netbook is quite less expensive as well. While using it I found that the focus remains on connectivity which is quite good but it is not so much featured like the laptop which is bad. But I should mention that it is not at all a good option to use as an alternative of a laptop.

Designs and looks

At the first glance the Compaq Mini 110 netbook looks quite attractive. It has a high gloss imprint finish which can be compared to the swirl deign and gives the netbook a classy and stylish look. The length of the netbook is 6.8”, the width is 10.3”, the height is 1.3” and the weight is 2lbs. the screen size is 10.1” which is diagonal and the keyboard is a full size one. Because of its size I found it comfortable to carry it in a back pack, briefcase and a purse.

Technical Details

Apart from the looks the technical features are also very important and I feel I should provide with the details. The Compaq Mini 110 netbook has the features like 1.6GHz N270 Atom, the RAM is of 1GB and the hard disk drive is of 160GB. It includes other features like Wi-Fi (b/g), Wi-Fi and a Webcam.

It has a chipset of Intel 945GSE and the navigation resolution of 1024 x 576 (WSVGA/LED). With its Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 950 Video Card and 128MB Shared Video Memory it enables listening to music or watching videos and movies. The memory speed is DDR2 533. There is no S-Video out but it has HDMI out. The VGA Webcam is inbuilt and it is of 1.3M. It has 5 in 1 in built card reader. The inbuilt wireless devices are of 802.11b/g.

The battery of Compaq Mini 110 netbook is a type of 3-Cell Lithium-Ion and it lasts for 2 hours at a stretch. There is no second battery available in the netbook. 3 USB 2.0 Ports are available in it along with in built Bluetooth module. It has 2 in built speakers and 2 audio Jack Ports.

Functions and Performance

The compact Compaq Mini 110 netbook seems to me very exciting because of its user friendly characteristics. I can’t deny that it has the ultimate connectivity and portability and thus making internet surfing much easy. With its video card features it allows the basic internet functions like email, chatting along with web conferencing and talking over the internet.

The most brilliant performance which I found in the netbook is its ability to wirelessly sync with the PC. This is very useful and it enables the latest updates and files to save in both the places with Syncable software.
I have also mentioned earlier that the key board is stretched 92 percent to the edges and with the spacious placement of the keys it enables comfortable typing for chatting, working and even playing games. The manufacturers have left the touch pad unchanged with mouse buttons on both the side of the touchpad.

While talking about the functions and its performances I feel it is important to let you know that the Compaq mini 110 netbook is welcome with Windows XP only. The Linux SKU is not available to use with this net book. Its audio port functions for both the head phone and the mic. The 3 cell battery net book provides about 2 hours of video play back.

Price

The price of the Compaq mini 110 net book is £ 259.00.

Comments

I personally find the features and the performances quite well going and it is worth keeping as an asset. Though the price is a little bit high, keeping in point its technical characteristic and stylish lineaments I think it is worth paying the price for the Compaq Mini 110.
