*HP Mini 210 Owners Lounge!*

Cool, whats the ship date, my estimated ship date is still 9/24/10, its now the 26th but I am hoping that tomorrow it will be shipping. I wanted it last week, but I guess I have to wait. I have a smartphone with GPS but I though it would be cool to have GPS in my netbook. I was probably going to get a wireless mouse but I was looking at the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000. I hardly use Bluetooth and I already have a pretty tiny Bluetooth USB adapter. I will try all the browsers on the Mini, I am really liking IE9 Beta, they finally made easy to use.

Just ordered mine with the following specs:

* charcoal
* Genuine Windows 7 Starter 32-bit
* Intel(R) Atom(TM) N550 (dual core,1.50GHz) + Broadcom(R) Video accelerator + Intel(R) Graphics 3150
* 1GB DDR3 System Memory (1 Dimm)
* 160GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
* Microsoft(R) Office Starter 2010
* 6-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery - Up to 10.75 hours of battery life +++
* 10.1" diagonal High Definition HP BrightView Infinity LED Display (1366 x 768)
* Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone
* 802.11b/g/n WLAN
* 93% Full-size island-style keyboard
* HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope

Hope this performs good...because I almost went for the Acer 521 but I guess the BrightView Infinity LED Display (1366 x 768) sold me to HP over the 1024 x 600 on the Acer...

Yeah mine is expected to ship tomorrow... hopefully it comes quick.

The only reason I chose bluetooth was because I didn't have any external dongle and when I was building it and that the ability to use bluetooth mice, headphones, printers or even sending songs and music straight to my cellphone wasn't bad and I thought it's only $20 bucks and over the period of a year or two it's not much.

As for GPS, I don't like the Navigator software much but I have heard people who love having GPS in their netbooks. Somebody posted how they use it on their boat and is amazing. But I figure since my car has built-in GPS, my smartphone has it, I wouldn't need it as much.

when it comes, I'm going to put it through it's paces and see just what can be done with it.

please do! Benchmarks and subjective feel are both more than welcome. You might be one of the first people with the n550 and hd display!

What kind of benchmarks would you prefer? Mine just shipped from Shanghai with all the bells and whistles and is in Alaska right now. Should get it in a day or two.

Anything you'd need me or davideis to review or check out?

Um, pcmark if possible. 3dmark isn't necessary.

Also watch a youtube 1080p video.

Mine just arrived today... First Impressions: This is probably one of the best netbooks that seen. The GPS is pretty neat, the HP Navigation software is decent. The keyboard is great, the HD screen is wonderful. I am typing this post on it. I watched YouTube - Big Buck Bunny animation (1080p HD) to test HD, it was very fluid the HD decoder really works. I will post some pictures and benchmark data soon.
