Custom Ubuntu build is intuitive and efficient. Stylish design. Gorgeous glass screen. Lightweight. Speedy enough performance with Atom processor.

Mouse buttons are still awkwardly placed.

Our unit also was loaded with the same 60GB, 4,200-rpm drive we complained about in our review of the Mini 1000 unit. Other options include 8GB (for $55 less than the 60GB) and 16GB (for $30 less) SSDs. The original review talked about sluggish...

Great keyboard Surprisingly good speakers

Horrible trackpad button placement Linux interface learning curve

The only real downer is the price of the Mi edition. You see, while HP says that these machines start at $400, our configuration costs $460. You'd figure that with Linux, we'd get a bit more of a price break on this netbook

Reasonably snappy performance on par with other Atom-based netbooks. SSD model includes a built-in thumb drive and extra, recessed USB port. Includes upscale laptop features, such as a docking port and an on/off switch for the trackpad. Gorgeous,...

Extra doesn’t sound like much, but it’s 17 percent more expensive than the Lenovo S10. Prone to tipping backwards when opened. Mouse button placement is love-it or hate-it relationship

Fantastic Keyboard Surprisingly good sound

Glossy Screen is hard-to-see in daylight Side-mounted mouse buttons

With the Mini 1000, HP does a good job keeping most of the things that worked on the 2133, while upping the performance and managing to cut prices in the process--well, not counting the fashionista-flavored model. Is a Mini 1000 right for you? If...

Runs on the Intel Atom platform. Gorgeous, big (10-inch) glass screen. Best-looking design. Lighter than its rivals. WWAN, bigger battery, and excellent Ubuntu distro options later this year. Superior keyboard.

Mouse buttons are awkwardly placed. Slow-spinning hard drives. VGA-out requires a dongle.

Cool operating system: Ubuntu + Mi = Win ; Nice form factor - thin and stylish ; Great keyboard and touch pad ; Despite having some gaps, the Mi concept has some serious potential

Without integrated "cloud" storage services the 8GB SSD is insufficient ; HP MediaStyle applications are of limited value ; Price still needs to come down a bit - there are better values on the market from HP's rivals ; Memory compartment door pops off...

HP's Mini Mi has been an eye-opener for me. This isn't because the Mini Mi is a perfect product, clearly it's not. The lesson I am taking away from this review is how friendly/easy/awesome Linux and specifically Ubuntu can be when a PC maker puts some...

Best netbook keyboard ; Upgrade-friendly spring-loaded RAM slot ; Good looking design with excellent build quality ; Very good speakers for a netbook

Highly reflective screen if you have the Infinity 10.2” panel ; Proprietary adapter needed for VGA out ; No clear option for an extended battery

With the screen brightness set to about 60 percent and wireless active the HP Mini 1000 managed 2 hours and 55 minutes of battery life before it had to go into sleep mode. This is a big step up when you look at the Mini-Note 2133 which only managed 2...

Best netbook keyboard we've seen, Thinner and lighter than HP's previous netbook, Ditches slow VIA processor for faster Intel Atom

Limited expansion options, Overly glossy screen, Needless proprietary external drive connection
