So I was looking into some HP netbooks. I had read that the 60GB HD version was good, so I went with the 1035nr. Besides, I had wanted Bluetooth anyway, and did not want to waste a USB port on it. I also ordered a 2GB RAM (to replace the 1GB in the 1030 and 1035nr) from Crucial, and upgraded it. So now we're talking! The system runs practically as fast as my Dell XPS m1330, but of course I am not really doing Photoshop on this, nor any processor-intensive video editing. I love the keyboard on this thing ... and I am getting used to the mouse. I'd rather have the small size, so I understand the compromises HP had to make, and why they put the mouse buttons to the sides of the touchpad.
