When Boing Boing released a Hackintosh Mini compatibility chart a few weeks ago I was surprised to see that the HP 2133 Mini-Note was listed as a netbook capable of running the Mac operating system. After all, Macs have Intel processors, while the HP 2133 uses a VIA CPU. It turns out that’s not a […]

HP Mini 1000 is sort of cheaper on Amazon
Amazon is now carrying some preconfigured HP Mini 1000 netbooks. And while the cheapest model you can order directly from HP sells for $360, the cheapest version I could find on Amazon costs $445. But here’s the thing, the $360 computer that ships from HP has an 8.9 inch display, and an 8GB SSD, and […]
Compaq Mini 700 unboxed
The Compaq Mini 700 is pretty much the same machine as the HP Mini 1000 netbook. But it’s got a big Compaq logo on the cover instead. HP announced the two netbooks on the same day in October. But the HP Mini 1000 launch grabbed all the headlines in the US, while only a handful […]

HP Mini 1000 review
The HP Mini 1000 is Hewlett Packard’s second entry in the netbook space. The HP 2133 Mini-Note was one of the best looking netbooks around, with its sturdy aluminum case and high resolution 1280 x 768 pixel 8.9 inch display. But the netbook was hampered by its slow VIA C7-M CPU and its relatively high […]

Thinking about picking up an HP Mini 1000 netbook, but worried that the $399.99 starting price isn’t enough?

HP is now offering US customers the option of adding an internal mobile broadband modem to their HP Mini 1000 orders. The modem will work with AT&T or Verizon’s wireless broadband networks. But it costs $199, which is significantly more expensive than the broadband $125 AT&T broadband modem Dell offers for the Inspiron Mini 9, […]
HP Mini 1000 gets ripped apart
You know, I could have sworn I’d already seen some pictures of a dissected HP Mini 1000 netbook, but looking through the archives, it looks like this netbook has been available for more than a month and nobody’s posted a good series of pictures of the machine with its top off… until now. Mobile computer […]
How to enable the HP Mini 1000’s 3G modem
If you’ve picked up an HP Mini 1000 netbook recently, there’s a chance it’s got a 3G modem hidden away beneath the cover. But HP hasn’t enabled the modem so you can’t get online with your 3G wireless connection without installing the proper software – which a member of the Pocketables Forums was kind enough […]
