anybody play games on the hp mini?
e.g. like dota?
does it run smoothly?
just wanna get some feedbacks from u guys
xD

ps: if let say u bought an extra sd card to replace a better ram i think i personally agree on it....
but make sure u get a 4gb or 8gb card.... then....this storage u can store them with ur windows in case u guys wanna reformat in future.

Do you know why it's called a netbook and not a notebook?

because it's supposed to only surf net, not gaming.

And yeah, the Alienware M11x is pointless.

To me, it's pointless.

Screen so small, what do you expect to see? Sorry man, I'm not quite a fan of netbooks.

Better to get at least an Inspiron 14. Around RM1700.

At the very least, its a proper notebook.

Just kindly ask one of the mod to move this thread to the notebook specific section and then we will have our own thread already. biggrin.gif

PM the thread starter to edit the first post will do.

Dapat free from Stremyx. Not all want to have this netbook so they are selling it off.
I bought from one of the forumer cheaply also. Seal and unopened.

RM50 X 24 months = RM1200 only. You get a free netbook+ internet service.
Good deal.

HP minis were voted one of the best netbooks last year~ Shouldn't be any problems with the netbook ba ^_____^
Perhaps its the problem with the internet package?

I'm a final year student so never got the chance to get the package T______T

Wow the thread has grown..hahahah yeap same here I got it free from streamyx as well but it was a TM staff package so running the normal 2MB line but still get netbook free....my first pc in many years as using mac....
.
Anyway I've upgraded to 2GB RAM 800mhz DDR2.....honestly, I don't see much diff maybe I'm not running office yet, but just feel it's a bit tad faster when loading. But somehow, seems the same....Maybe I'll start with cleaning up my netbook to take out all those background working programs from HP....seems lagging the whole damn machine...
.
so 2GB works fine but whether or not worth it...hmmm dunno yet...gotta install office and we shall see if it's lagging...
.
But one thing I notice, I dun like the trackpad. Reason being it's all in one..my habit is to rest one finger on the left trackpad button for fast clicking, but with HP210 I can't due to it's one piece, so resting one finger on the left button registers as multitouch...aiyaaa..... doh.gif

So you fixed it by yourself or took your mini there for them to fix it?

Yeah, and I don't like the track pad. So many times the cursor went the wrong way because I wanted to click. Very weird. rclxub.gif
