I just need a small cheap one to be able to carry around, mostly for emails and internet. I already have a desk top. Living with four guys and their computers are black or silver, I thought I might treat myself to this small lightweight feminine looking one. That would be one way to keep the boys off it. Looking over many sites I'm wondering is it dark red or orange or vibrant red? I have been going back and forth for a few weeks now on purchasing the HP Mini 1000 VT Series Laptop.

But it could do without the energy star sticker, the sliver hinge below the screen and the HP logo on the front cover (they should be more discreet and put it somewhere else.) Oh, it would be nice to have the bezel painted with some nice flowers or something (instead of black), but I know this would be very difficult to manufacture. I think having something "Designer" is all about the little things. for the most part it looks nice.
