New HP, now with aluminum
A year ago, acquired on the occasion of MSI U100. I can say that it suited me perfectly both in terms of compactness and in functions and in terms of battery life. For all the time, there were only two notes to it: a very small screen (so the eyes got tired quickly) and a stripped-down Bluetooth module, because of which I could not update the firmware in the Parrot 3200 speakerphone module, I had to connect a large laptop for this task. But a year has passed, and I decided to update it. Having prepared MSI for a meeting with the new owner, he went to the store, preparing for the agony of choice. To the surprise there was no agony, since the choice immediately fell on the recently introduced ASUS 1201n. Taking a box with a netbook went home, deal with the acquisition. Reviews on Habré of this device were pieces 4, for example 1 , 2 or 3 . But, looking ahead, I will say right away that after two weeks I returned it back. What did not suit me in it? First gloss, solid and terrible. Secondly, it was very hot, even without any tasks, after booting the system, after about 5 minutes, the very warm air started to blow out of the grates and the case from the bottom also heated up very much. Thirdly, the power connector is non-standard and very thin. It is necessary to move the netbook from the spot and the contact disappeared, respectively, the battery charge stopped. In general, I collected it back, restored the factory settings and carried it back with a light heart, deciding to throw a net a second time. And this time the catch was no less fresh HP Pavilion dm3-1145er. 
True, he is not quite a netbook.

How did he turn out to be better, despite the large size and weight?
Yes, the screen is bigger and better. A full-fledged processor and the ability to use both a video card from Intel and a discrete from NVidia. 4 Gig of RAM and 64-bit operating system included. Hard disk capacity of 320 GB and 7200 r / m. Only the frame around the display and the display itself remain of the gloss:
Most importantly, the laptop case is almost entirely aluminum.
(there is still a film on the lid, it gives a highlight) And so the laptop turns out to be pleasantly heavy, slightly cool to the touch, and without a continuous gloss.
On the right are the power switch, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth switch, 2 USB ports, ventilation grille and Kensington Lock
On the left are the microphone and headphone jacks, a card reader, again 2 USB ports, an HDMI output, a D-SUB, a network connector and a power connector.
The keyboard of the now familiar look with square keys is quite large and comfortable, only the cursor keys are a bit unusual. Function keys are enabled by default in multimedia mode, but those who basically need F1-F12 keys (like me) can return this mode of operation by setting in the BIOS. The touchpad is slightly depressed, which allows you to feel its edges (unlike the ASUS 1201), with multitouch support.
Included with the laptop is only one disk, it contains a User Manual. Therefore, to restore the laptop is recommended to immediately make discs, which would require 3 blank DVD discs. And you can write them on an external drive that comes in the kit, by the way with the support of the Lightscribe function
The laptop also has a function similar to the Express Gate from Asus.
And when you turn on the laptop, we can, without downloading the main OS, wander around on an Internet, see pictures, listen to music, view mail or our tasks in the Google calendar, well, or chat on Skype or ICQ. In general, all that you may need for entertaining pastime.
The main OS additionally has a media player from HP, a set of online toys, trial versions of Norton Antivirus 2010 and MS Office 2007, utilities for Lightscribe and a certain Magic Desktop - a software shell for children that have programs for learning, drawing, playing music and walking around. Internet control content. If anyone is interested, I can then consider it in more detail.
Here are the results of the HD Speed disc test.
In general, at the moment I am quite happy with my purchase, and I am quietly engaged in its improvement for my needs
Add a picture of the results of the program BatteryEatter
The battery still has 9% of the charge, all the time the display was turned on at full brightness and the Wi-Fi module was working. Total time in this mode 3.5 hours
