jkOnTheRun- WinXP on HP Mini-Note

[cool2912raven]

You need another computer to transfer the xp on the flash drive. No i don't think that you have to clear th HD

[cool2912raven]

How do you install windows when there is no dvd drive?

[TheAngryGameMan]

I also want to know how to do that

[cool2912raven]

I figured it out: you can install from usb stick

[Streetglow51]

how would u put XP on the flash drive and how would u install it on the mini?? would u have to clear the HD then put the flash drive in?

im starting to study pharmacy in the university and its very distant from home and i need a laptop to be small and in the range of 800$ and can do this things:

1)surf the net with a lot of tabs opened and videos in them

2)work with office

3)download large files from the net

4)playback music and videos

5)work/response fast and doesn't make noises

6)can multi task

7)convert videos and music via itunes...

is this mini note enough ???

[BlakeVII]

Let me know if you have found what you were looking for.

Your list of requirements sounds like everything I would want a note/netbook to do.

[nokiaboy1]

Seems to me im getting the MSI wind or in my UK case its the ADVENT 4211 they seem to fit in my pocket and heart very much as i need

[BlakeVII]

Well good luck... let me know the day you finally get your laptop and I hope you do well in your studies.

[nokiaboy1]

thank you

good luck for you too!!

and just a side note if you have time and can wait till the end of the year then hp is outing a new mini-note with a better CPU and a non reflecting surface

also you can check out one of these

1--gigabyte M912

2--msi wind / or his advent counter parent

3--Eee 901/1000

those are still in the same price range and have almost identical specifications

and good luck for you 2 sir

[easynoteguy1]

just to add you can get the MSI wind in the UK

Advent is not a real company its a branch of dixons

I have a advent 4490

[kiarashsafavi]

I suggest all with laptop related questions visit notebookreview website and ask in the discussion section which notebook is right for you.

[jester070993]

nice review!!

when do they come out with the xp installed on the mini note?

[redz220]

i just bought a 2gb with vista(have not open the box yet) but iv'e been hearing that it runs slow with vista but fast with xp...is this true

[Aentieon]

Well Vista is slow on any machine on starting up but if its fine with you just keep it I use Vista on my gaming computer.

[StevenAustralia]

I'd love to see Google Earth or Photoshop CS2running on it.... they're about the most power-hungry programs I would need...

[docrjay]

Thanks for the review. I am planning to buy the version with 1GB memory because its what I can afford. I would like to know if you think skype video will run smoothly on it.

[fiancailles]

Thanks James...especially on testing SkyPE and Video playback.

[younes0807]

haha rofl again, firstly at your last video with"VERY VERY NIIIIIIIICE" and now, :HELLOOO CAN U SEE ME IM HERE,"whaha man halarious

[younes0807]

Thanks for your input JK,

I really would have liked seen some video like Divx or Xvid dvd-rips, or some episodes of some series.. Is the batterylife also like 4 hours if you watch videos the whole time? with 6 cells?
