The battery life on the HP Mini 1103 is its best attribute: we got 5 hours and 51 minutes using our video playback battery drain test. That outperformed even the HP Mini 210, which we tested last year. The battery life ranks nearly at the top of all Netbooks, which could seal the deal for consumers looking to avoid frequent recharges.
The HP Mini 1103 comes with a standard one-year warranty. That can be extended up to three years of standard pick up and return warranty service for $99 on HP's small-business Web site (which is a full one-third of the system's original price), or augmented with a variety of other warranty options including accidental damage protection. HP's Web site is relatively easy to navigate, and a toll-free support number is available 24 hours a day.
