The HP Mini 1000 - 2nd Generation

Mini Mini Mini

If you, the dear consumer, aren't spoiled for choice by now when it comes to shopping for a notebook then we don't know what world you're living in. While manufacturers had seemed hesitant at first to jump into the notebook fray, the success of the ASUS Eee PC has all but left their doubts in the dust. If 2008 is anything to go by - it's definitely the year of the notebook, and with the success of its first generation HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, HP is no doubt hoping for more of the same with its second generation, the Mini 1000 notebook.

Based this time on an Intel Atom processor, the HP Mini 1000 moves away from the VIA platform of its older cousin and joins the other notebook with mostly similar specifications. The difference in the Mini 1000 lies in its much smaller and slower hard disk compared to its competitors. We'll talk about this more later during our performance segment but for now, enjoy the glossy and fingerprint magnet that is the HP Mini 1000.
