The HP Mini 110-3020TU netbook for $499 is much more expensive than newer and directly better HP netbooks. Unless you can find it on discount for under half the RRP, it's a better idea to get any other modern netbook.
It has an Intel Atom N455 (1.66GHz) processor that does a good job running Windows 7 Starter, so while slow it’s still functional. The onboard graphics and 1GB of RAM limit you to casual games, but that’s the most you’ll find in a netbook.
The 250GB hard drive is more than enough for most netbook users. A 10.1in (1,024x600 resolution) screen is par for the course, and it should still be large enough to let you see what you’re doing. The 3020TU weighs 1.23kg, and measures 32.1mm thick, 194mm deep, and 268mm wide.
This is an average, notebook, with not a great deal to recommend it but on show-stopper downsides either.
