The HP Mini 1000 is the perfect on-the-go companion for the ultra-mobile consumer. Stay connected with more people, in more places. This HP Mini has a 10.1″ diagonal display and has a nearly full sized keyboard. Personal computing just got a whole lot smaller.

After seeing the youtube review by laptopmag (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TBBBnqBtAI), I immediately got two. I was looking for the SSD (solid state hard drive) which the Mini has. The 10″ screen is also a great addition, I don’t think I can live with the smaller 8″ version. The near full size keyboard was the deal maker. The only thing missing that I wanted was the VGA out or some kind of docking solution when I bring the netbook home.
The performance is good, given the low specs compared with full size laptops. If you are just doing browsing or word processing, this netbook is great! Not the mention the small footprint. The quick ship model that I got came with a 3-cell battery which, in my opinion, ran long enough. I believe a good deal of battery is saved by not having to run a traditional hard drive, which would have mechanical moving parts.
In short, get this if you want to get a computer for normal everyday tasks; email, internet, word, etc.

The HP Mini 1120NR is a great netbook, and there are a few things you can add to it that will make it even better. First, as suggested by a previous review, you would be wise to add ram and the extended battery. Also, be aware that there is an SD card reader built in, so you can increase the available hard drive space without buying one of HPs proprietary mini usb drives. I didn’t see this mentioned in any of the reviews.
The keyboard is great, though you might want to turn the touchpad off when you are using it. Thankfully, HP has made this convenient to do.
The screen/resolution are appropriate (though I do have a dead pixel in the middle of my screen). I watched a video on hulu tonight, and it looked fantastic.
Also, HPs MIE OS is nicer than I thought it would be. It is very easy to use, and it works great.
I bought this netbook to use primarily as a word processor/web browser, and I am more than satisfied. It’s a great product, and I’m sure I will get a lot of use out of it.
