Hi cathtv, I am not in anyway a professional IT user but I am about to order this so I can do basic IT/internet activities.

I agree with you that it does look a good purchase and in addition I have checked out the Which? website.

Which? do not have this exact model but they have the HP Mini 110-1150SA which I think ( and I am happy to be corrected if wrong) comes from the same family as the QVC model which is in fact a higher spec, although that is not necessarily always a good thing.
Anyway the Which? model scores 70% overall which puts it into their 'Best Buy' category. It is listed as currently being available for about £300.00 just for the netbook.
I think tthe QVC offer is worth going for and giving it a good test over Christmas and if not upto scratch sending it back.
Just my thoughts anyway.

You're welcome.

I did mean to add to that post but got interrupted and hit the send button.

If I had the pennies I'd be sorely tempted.
Husband said my netbook funds have just gone to DynoRod, LOL, drains problem, unforeseen, it's the pits.

 

[cathtv]

Thanks guys. Sorry to hear your drains are draining your finances Jan ...
Still pondering...

 

[The baby Riz]

Jan, I think you will find that the Dyno-Rod costs (God aren't they cheap) can squarely be laid at your husbands door. This of course means that you are clearly entitled to spend a little dosh yourself, no? I mean, even if only for the sake of equality.

I have been waiting for QVC to come up with a netbook I can't resist. I think this is it! Much better than the horrendous Archos netbook a few months back. The 4 easy payments is calling me...I can't say no!

 

[Jan]

Thanks Baby Riz, LOL.

The funny thing is he works for HP, LOL.

He doesn't often have time for QVC but he said it looks a pretty good deal having looked on HP's own website.

I've decided to hold fire as it's so close to Christmas, you never know, if there's another one on from HP I may do it!

Don't forget to go through TopCashBack or something similar those who have yet to decide.

You can get the same 120gb version for about £240 with XP , not sure its worth £100 more just for W7 and some software you probably wont use.

The TSV was 250gb though. I went for it so I hope I like it when it comes. Need the netbook for my travels, fed up logging a laptop around.

 

[deanos]

Yes i know it was 250gb, dont think its worth £100 more, itsd only Windows 7 Starter not thre full version , its quite limiting from what ive read, but hope you are happy with it

 

[witssend]

Has anyone got theirs yet, has it been shipped and what do you think of it?

 

[The baby Riz]

Yes, yes, yes

 

[The baby Riz]

Mine has just arrived. It looks OK, but to be honest I prefer a bigger one and it is a little stiff. You'll definitely need two hands for this baby.

 

[upsidedown]

Mine arrived on Friday. I wasn't sure when I first saw it.... I guess I wasn't ready for how small it would be. Although That's the point of a netbook. I have been playing with a 17 incher so coming down to a 10 incher was a shocker. It should be ok for me when out and about. I will put it through its paces until the 31st and decide for sure, so far so good. Some of the contrast lettering on say the page down/up arrows are a touch light for me. It would have been much better if they used darker print.
