HP Mini 1115NR 8.9-Inch Netbook - 3 Cell Battery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been looking at the mini laptops with solid state drives for a couple of months and picked up the HP Mini (Netbook) 1115NR a couple of weeks ago. I booted it up, began writing a text file, went online, and then it died. It had been on for about two hours. After some research online I found out that HP rushed this product to market and that the 'black screen of death' is a somewhat common problem. The machine will not boot up at all. The power light goes on, but that is it. Basically the flash drive gets corrupt and cannot be accessed. I returned the laptop and got my money back.

Targus USB Bluetooth® Adapter - Class 2 ACB10US Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was expecting this to be a major hassle, given all the bad reviews of BT dongles out there, but I was able to link up and share files between my sony ericsson w810i and my Dell Inspiron 6000 within ten minutes of opening the box. So far, no problems at all (and none of the problems I've heard of from reviews of the Kensington device). This thing works very well in my PC environment, and doesn't saddle you with any useless or unnecessary "cute" applications. One caveat on the software, however. I can see where it would be confusing to those who are not at least reasonably computer savvy, with some experience in BT jargon, too. It's definitely not plug n' play, but it is intuitive to some extent.
The weird thing is, the packaging (at least for the product I bought at Best Buy) says that it is Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and that it supports the A2DP stereo profile, but I can't find anything on the Targus website or in the included documentation to support this claim. As far as I can tell from the extremely fast data transfer rate, however, the claim on the packaging seems to be true.
I will be receiving my bluetooth stereo headphones in a few days. Hopefully, the package is right and I'll be able to stream music from my laptop. This is the main reason I bought the dongle, so if it doesn't work, back to the store it goes.
**Edit**
Well, I received my headphones, and it turns out that it does support A2DP, but the connection with the headphones stinks!!! I hear sound for only a few seconds at a time before it cuts out for large gaps. This thing is okay for data, but if you want to use it to broadcast to stereo headphones, beware!
If I could change my rating, I'd change it to a 3. Back to the store it goes!
