The cool-looking HP Mini 110-1030NR comes with an integrated web cam and an Intel Atom processor.
Weight
Weighing 2.57 pounds, it’s perfect for those looking to travel light.
Storage
It has a 160 GB hard drive. When you break that down, you’re looking at over 25,000 songs with extra room for movies and games. It has a Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive, which means it has the file-transfer swiftness of a USB or Firewire drive.
Memory
1 GB RAM
Processor
The Intel Atom has 47 million transistors in a single 22mm chip. It uses only 2.5 watts of power. Put that next to the 35 watts used by a Core 2 Duo found in most regular sized notebooks, and that’s what we call fantastic battery management. The 1.6 GHz Atom N270 has a front side bus of 533 MHz for much faster data transfer on your mobile applications.
