I saw these on that Verizon commercial this past weekend...

It’s ultra–portable. Lightweight. Less expensive than standard notebooks and functions on America’s largest and most reliable 3G network. You can keep on top of business and stay informed and in touch when out of the office and even when out of the country! The HP Mini comes with Genuine Windows®XP Home Edition Operating System, is global capable*, features a 10.1" display, 1GB of RAM and 80GB of Hard Drive. It is comes with a built–in Web–cam and microphone, Bluetooth and Windows Media Player.

You can also get a slightly different more configurable model directly from HP...

Anybody got or seen one of these in action?

HP Mini is good, but if you get it from Verizon you'll be raped by the dataplan for 2 years.

Everything I've read about the HP is good, people love it.

However, that being said, I have a Dell Mini 9 and it is by far the coolest little computer I've ever owned. I drag it almost everywhere with me. People bash netbooks, but if you come in expecting too much from a cheap, small computer you're going to be disappointed.

Thanks man. I just checked out the Mini 9 on dell.com too... nice, with a solid state HDD for only $350... I prefer Dell anyway.

Check out the Dell Outlet as well. You can find one there that someone sent back without using, or a refurbished one that is basically brand new for around 250 or less.

they're a bunch of them out now.. If you just need to use the internet and don't wanna drag something bulky around just get a netbook. netbook, eee pc, dell mini, macbook air(expensive as balls though, wouldn't recommend) all are out just for that purpose, and they're pretty cheap compared to retail laptops.

Ahahahahahaha. The MacBook Air really is the most expensive netbook out there.

are you being serious? I just checked and that is what my bank gave me...an Asus Eee PC Series - 2G Surf...it's pretty damn small...I can palm it in my big ass hand

That sucker is smaller than most of the popular Netbooks now. Yours has a 7" screen I believe most now have 10.1"ers.

The wife and daughter have been using these ultralight Dell L400s with a 12" screen.

But I'm thinking now of Ebaying those and getting them the ASUS Eee PC EPC1000HE. Sweet little lappies with 8 hours battery life.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
