I have a Mini with a 16gb HD and I’ve loaded a SanDisk 4GB SDHC with music and movies (in MP4 , iTunes format) and it works great for the most part. The only problem I can see is when I view it in full screen, it gets choppy. It’s okay if I watch it in non-full screen mode. I think if you upgrade to 2gb of ram, it would run smoother. I think it’s the hardware, not the speed of the card reader. I hope this helps Mick.

Can someone confirm that the Mini 110 (with 16GB SSD drive) does actually read SDHC cards.
I want to get a 16GB SD card to use as a second partition. Thx.

Got a HP-1012NR. Specs are: Atom-270, 1GB RAM, 16GB SSD. Bought it for $269+tax from Office Depot during Labor Day sale. It meets my expectation: light weight, reasonably fast,

1. Loaded with MS office, Thunderbird on Windows XP.

2. Made a system recovery disk and removed the hidden system restore partition to save space.

3. Install Ubuntun-9.04 onto a separate 16G SD card in SD slot with its own boot sector. Can an boot to Ubuntu by pressing F9. Wireless works automatically.

3. I choose HP netbook mainly for its keyboard, you can really type like normal keyboard. Only the button “1″ is little too small.

Anyway, it is a useful product for people on the move.

My HP Mini 110 netbook is only 1 month old and suddenly it will not boot. It gets hung up at the Hp screen where I have the options of entering F9 or F10 to get to Bios or other settings. When I enter F10 to try and check the hard drive, the computer can’t find the hard drive. I suspect the 160 Gb hard drive has failed after only 1 month. In addition, the 3 cell battery that came with the unit only last about 1 1/5 hours – no where near the 3 hours quoted. You will have to purchase a $100 HP 6 cell battery if you hope to get 5 hours of life out of your computer.

THe HDD in the 1033CL is a 1.8″ Drive. It is very easy to gain access to it but the best I can find is a 160G Drive for $85. It sure would be nice if HP would have used 2.5″ Drives grrrrr

Does anyone know what if the drive in the 1033CL is a 2.5″ HDD? I want to change the 60G drive with a 500G Drive.

Great how-to video on upgrading the SSD to a regular 1.8″ with more than 2X read/write speeds compared to the original:
