Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

Storage & Memory
This version of the HP Mini comes with an 80 GB hard disk drive (4200 RPM), which is small when compared to full-sized notebooks but is plentiful for the tasks a netbook is designed for--surfing the web and storing a decent sized digital media library. This netbook also comes with 1 GB of of system RAM, which is the maximum capacity for this device.

Screen, Video & Audio
The 10.1-inch HP BrightView anti-reflective display delivers an expansive viewing area compared to other mobile devices, and it features flush glass, an LED backlight, and a 1024 x 576-pixel resolution. HP's BrightView technology improves the contrast and clarity of your notebook display so colors are brighter and images are more lifelike.

This netbook also includes two built-in stereo speakers and an integrated audio chip that's compatible with HD Audio.

The 82-key, near-full-size (92 percent) keyboard is more comfortable for most than the thumb keys on smartphones and PDAs. The electrostatic touchpad has an on/off button and dedicated scroll up/down pad.
