Buying the HP Mini Netbook…?
I want to buy the HP - Mini Netbook with Intel® Atom™ Processor N270 but there is just one drawback: the Hard Drive. The computer only has a 16 GB HD, and that is kind of a problem. Microsoft Office 2007 takes up about 1.5 GB (correct me if I’m wrong) so now I’m down to 14.5 GB on my HD.
I went to Best Buy and the attendant lady said that they sold a version with more HD (I think she said either 60, 116, or 160 GB, I can’t remember which). The lady also said that it would only go up about in price, which means it’s still only about 0. They didn’t have that version in the store, though, so she said I had to check the internet.
I went on their website but I couldn’t find one with that much HD. I’m not that good at looking for things on websites like that so…could I have some help? Is there really such a thing? Thank you so much!
Also, if you could/would provide a link for me that would be grand.

What are you wanting this for? You can get the windows xp version on the Acer Aspire One for $300 now. I managed to install Vista to it, but xp runs ok on it as well, also the HP one was actually the slowest one out of all the netbooks, trust me i researched. My girlfriend ended up buying it for me, and neither of us regret it. I have office 2007 enterprise edition on it, thanks to a friend who gave me theirs because they liked 2003 better. Specs on the Aspire One:
Atom N270 1.7GHZ cpu
1GB Ram
160GB Hard drive
Windows XP Home Edition

Enjoy the new laptop.
I was looking at the netbooks yesterday. it said it uses a 16 gig solid state drive ( like a thumb drive) It said to use a external drive hard drive. It will have USB. It wont have a optical drive either. Dell has 15" laptops with regular hard drives and a DVD, 2 gigs of ram and XP for $449.00 (60 bucks more than netbook) This Dell is the cheapest one and is better than the netbooks I think the novelty is what people want. I wouldnt mind having one but a regular laptop isnt much more. i think it comes with linux.
You can get a 60 GB hard drive (not SSD) on the HP Mini:
