The HP Mini 1000 is the second netbook from HP, after their more business aimed Mini Note 2133 earlier in the year. With a great design and build quality the HP Mini 1000 looks sleek and professional, with out looking cheap like some other netbooks.
With an excellent nearly full sized keyboard (92%) you can type much easier than most other netbooks, and with impressive specifications the HP Mini 1000 looks to be one of the very best netbooks so far.

Reviews
HP may have arrived late to the consumer Netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year’s business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category’s top tier. Best Netbook keyboard we’ve seen; thinner and lighter than HP’s 2133. The only bad: Limited expansion options and an overly glossy screen.

Currently, more than ten mini-notebooks are available with identical 1.6-GHz Intel Atom processors and Windows XP Home operating systems. But the HP Mini 1000’s stylish and seriously compact chassis, crisp and bright screen, and outstanding keyboard elevate it above most of its competitors. Those wanting a stylish 10-inch netbook will be more than happy with it.

The Mini 1000 offers the standout solid construction and comfort. The Mini 1000 is a worthy competitor in the netbook market, offering the small size of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 without the compromised keyboard. Small, thin, and lightweight, the Mini 1000 offers perhaps the best netbook keyboard out there, as well as performance that matches the rest of the pack.

With the Mini 1000, you get a reasonably hard plastic lid with a groovy design on top. A fantastic keyboard with the main QWERTY and number buttons are large enough to fit your entire finger.
