Just as long as it's not like the 2133 and it's flesh searing bottom (boy that was a painful summer when I was wearing shorts!). I was afraid it was the case design/shape that caused the heat build-up (I'm sure the aluminum body had a lot to do with it too...).<br><br>FDA Thanks!

For example, the SSD is actually slower than the HDD, which spins at 4200 RPM. That's sad. HP uses low-end parts for the Mini-note 1000 as well.

I just reread it carefully.

The HP Mini 1000 is the 8.9 INCH model… i glazed over that part the first time… its an extra 50$ for the 10 inch screen.

Seems to me that it should be the 900 and 1000 series but they consider 9 inches to be the base model for the 1000 series.

Always read the fine print i guess..

so that's 409$ for the base model with a 10 inch screen….
a linux model should bring it back to 350$ hopefully.

I think teh Mini-Note has the most solid keyboard of all the netbooks.
$359 for a 10 incher is great. 20-30$ for a 2GB stick of ram and this baby will be humming.
Let's hope they release the Linux version soon, could be looking at at 300$ machine then once you get rid of the Microsoft tax.

Now if only Staples could get their heads out of their ass.
Came back from there, they had the Acer One at 400$ and Asus 10' for 750$.
Which is funny because my sister bought the Linux one 2-3 weeks ago at 289$ and you guys are showing the very nice HP for 350$.

Shop people.
Shop around.
And say thanks to liliputing when you save a few bucks.
