Editorial Reviews

HPs second-generation mini-notebook falls in the middle of the current netbook pack due to performance tests.
-PC World, [xrr rating=3.95/5]

HP may have arrived late to the consumer Netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last years business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the categorys top tier.
-CNET, [xrr rating=4/5]

...The Mini 1000 will appeal to anyone looking for a solid, totable laptop for light-duty office and Internet tasks.
-PC Magazine, [xrr rating=3.5/5]

With great build quality, a spring-loaded RAM slot, awesome keyboard, and super slim design it is easy to give the HP Mini 1000 our Editor’s Choice award. We feel it is well deserved even with the missing VGA port and limited battery options.
-Notebook Review, [xrr rating= ]

...What sets it apart is its extremely compact build and one of the best keyboards we’ve used on a netbook to date.  However two things hold this system back from being our favorite: its three-cell battery and its higher price point.
