I’m still waiting for HP to send me an HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition with the company’s custom Linux software to review. But the computers are already available for purchase, and Perry Longinoti at Notebook Review managed to grab one and write up a decent review of the computer’s hardware and custom software. The HP […]

HP Mini 6 cell battery available for $153.90
The HP Mini 1000 6 cell battery may be kind of ugly, but it doubles the netbook’s battery life. And as Sascha from Netbook News.de pointed out to me once, it’s on the bottom of the laptop where you’ll never have to look at it. There’s just one problem: Up until recently the 6 cell […]
You know netbooks have gone mainstream when…
… the ads have almost nothing to do with the product. HP has launched a new TV ad for the HP Mini 1000 that could almost be an ad for a clothing store. Because the commercial shows more than half a dozen outfit changes, but only shows the netbook being advertised for a few seconds. […]
Update: HP Mini 1100 does NOT have an ExpressCard slot
The other day I reported that HP seems to have added a few new models to its netbook lineup. The HP web site lists support documents for several computers with the HP Mini 11xx name. Since the only other netbooks in HP’s lineup used the HP Mini 10xx or HP Mini 21xx naming convention, it […]
First look at the HP Mini 1000 6 cell battery
The HP Mini 1000 netbook currently comes with a 3-cell battery which sits flush with the unit. While many netbook batteries take up some space in the rear or bottom of the computer, the HP battery seems to take up nearly no space at all, which helps contribute to the super-thin shape of the HP […]
HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition photo gallery
Good news on the HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition front. After I asked myself a few questions about the netbook’s functionality this morning, I decided to check out the HP booth on the CES show floor. And wouldn’t you know it, the thing really is just running a modified version of Ubuntu Linux. You can […]
HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition in action – Video
I stopped by the HP booth at the Digital Experience show in Vegas last night, and they had all sorts of goodies, including the new HP Pavilion DV2, HP 2140 Mini-Note, and HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition running a custom version of Ubuntu Linux. The Mi Edition software is slicker than the easy mode interface […]
HP Mini 1000 Mi Edition now available for $329 and up
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 […]
HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition in pictures
HP has been showing off the designer Vivienne Tam Edition of the HP Mini 1000 since before the company had even announed the HP Mini 1000. But up until now, the only photos I’d seen of the netbook were press shots or photos that journalists/bloggers took at press events. Now it looks like Judie at […]
HP rebrands Mobile Internet Experience as “Mi”
In a sign that HP could be almost ready to start shipping the Linux version of the HP Mini 1000 netbook, the company has made a modest change to the information on its website. Where the HP Mini 1000 with Linux used to be branded as the “MIE Edition” with HP’s custom “Mobile Internet Experience” […]
