HP Mini-Note usability tip #01
When it comes to ultra-portable style notebooks sometimes its the little tweaks that will make the user experience much, much nicer. When it comes to the Mini-Note, and I say this with some experience as compared to the Eee PC and Cloudbook, but the Mini-Note “out-of-the-box” is much more user friendly, but does still have some issues.
The display on the Mini-Note is 8.9-inches and when compared to the Eee or Cloudbook it seems much larger as compared to their 7-inch display. Which aside from the 1.9-inches of extra real estate you also have a much higher resolution on the Mini-Note.
The Mini-Note has a screen resolution up to 1280 x 768, which is incredible as compared to the 800 x 480 on the others. However with that comes some extra eye strain, so a quick tip, aside from lowering the screen resolution will make the viewing experience a little easier on the eyes.
