It has a keyboard robust enough to let you touch-type at full speed, as well as a screen that lets you view most Web pages without side scrolling, but it's light enough that you'll have to double-check if it's really in your backpack. HP's netbook is more comfortable and stylish than most of the competition, with design flourishes more often found on full-size notebooks. It also has a nice 8.9-inch display and plenty of connectivity options that make it better suited to a wider variety of tasks than its budget brethren.
