HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition now available for $329 and up

HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition

HP is now accepting orders fo the HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition netbook running Linux. And the price is about $50 lower than what HP had announced a few months ago. Of course, that makes sense since HP has also dropped the base price of the Windows XP version to $359.

The HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition runs a customized version of Ubuntu Linux designed by HP to be user friendly and multimedia-centric.

The base price will get you a netbook with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom mCPU, an 8.9 inch 1024 x 600 pixel display,. 1GB of RAM, and an 8GB SSD. If you want a higher capacity hard drive or a larger display you’ll have to shell out a few extra bucks. The base model also comes with a 3 cell battery, but to my knowledge HP hasn’t made a 6 cell battery available for the HP Mini 1000 yet.

Update: As some people have pointed out in the comments, the 10.1 inch version of this netbook comes with a 1024 x 576 pixel display while the 8.9 inch version has a 1024 x 600 pixel screen.

Changed from 10.2″ to 10.1″ display. Thanks Brad!
Cheaper with APP/EPP program ($304 or so)

I might be mistaken but on HP's configurator it's got a 1024X576 display much like the Mini 2140. Frankly for me all those little pixels count. I'd much rather pay the extra $30 odd for a better display.

My nagging question: will those with XP HP 1000's be able to load this Ubuntu flavor in lieu of Windows? Or better yet, be small enough to dual boot?

That's exactly what I've been wondering as well.

or could you even install windows and save the $50
bye bye HP

In the UK HP are only going to sell only one model….some vivienne tam designer model (its pink ffs…how many blokes would buy a pink laptop with a flowery design on it????) with XP that costs (at todays exchange rate) a whopping $645. I hate being taken for a ride…….so after many years of HP products I have turned my back on them……………………$645 sort of defeats the idea of a notebook being a cheap and cheerful device.

I recently purchased this netbook and installed windows 7 x32 on it but can’t get the native resolution back (i’m stuck at 1080×768, can’t get the 1366).
