Overall an excellent netbook, roughly a 4/5. Pros: - aesthetic appeal (easily one the nicest looking netbooks available) - top-notch keyboard (almost full size) - easy to access RAM slot - SSD options available - Linux and XP options (HPs MIE overlay for Linux is annoying, but it's nice to get...

The good: Best Netbook keyboard we've seen; thinner and lighter than HP's previous Netbook; ditches slow Via processor for faster Intel Atom. The bad: Limited expansion options; overly glossy screen; needless proprietary external drive connection. The bottom line: HP may have arrived late...
Read the full review →HP's Mini 1000 is a superb netbook. If you're fine with getting three hours on a charge, its great looks, capable specs and excellent keyboard make it a 2.38 lb ultraportable you'll actually enjoy using.
Read the full review →The keyboard is excellent, and the device is one of the thinnest and lightest machines you’ll find for less than $500. I think HP has done a better job than any other company to date of releasing a netbook with a user friendly version of Linux for users who have never used Ubuntu or another Linux...
Read the full review →The HP Mini 1000 is an extremely compact, nice and versatile machine to work on, but one feature that I do miss is embedded 3G, despite I always take my Huawei E160 dongle with me all the time. With a great keyboard, 10.1" screen and the option to get about 8 hours of battery life with the...

In my opinion this is the best netbook on the market. i have used the Asus eee line and the 1000he's keyboard is almost as good as this but this one is the best. the 16:9 screen is really good for getting all the screen space when watching video. i put videos from the zune...

As everyone says, the keyboard is great. At least half the reason I bought this is because my company hands out these awful bulky clunker laptops and I wanted something that I could grab like a sheaf of papers and zip to meetings with. It's perfect for this, but the almost full size keyboard...

I bought the Mini 1030NR from Best Buy because I was in need of a copy of XP quickly for running some car diagnostic software. I was actually not very happy about buying it at the time, but it has really grown on me. This netbook excels for the initial task I purchased it for. I can connect...

I've tried just about every OS out there on this thing... Windows 7 was the best for MS, but I prefer OS X 10.6 to everything. While Ubuntu was good, I got tired of things suddenly not working or too complicated to fix. Snow Leopard sleeps, shares my wifi in a hotel room (necessary for iphone &...

This netbook is perfect for it's small size, durable structure, and sleek/simple design. I installed Chromium OS on my HP-Mini, and it works perfectly.
