The HP Mini 1151NR netbook box is relatively small, as these things go.

This view allows you see the depth of the box, which is probably about as small as it can possibly be.

Opening the box reveals a large-ish instruction sheet that covers the goods hidden beneath.

Here’s the HP mini itself in the foreground, with the battery at left rear and the power-supply at right rear — all in their original packaging. The power supply is impressively small.

Here you can see all the HP iron, fully unpackaged. In the foreground is the battery, which came with a decent amount of charge.

Taking the HP Mini 1151NR netbook for a test drive at my local diner. No that’s not a marketing shot 🙂

A picture of the Dell Vostro A90, my current favorite hackintosh (left) compared to the VZW/HP Mini 1151NR (right). Note the HP’s wider (10-inch) screen and larger keys — both are welcome additions. One thing that I can’t get used to, however, is the HP’s side-mounted trackpad buttons. They’re super-unnatural feeling and would require years of de-programming to get comfortable with.
