TankillerR over myhpmini forum has posted a huge review of HP Mini 1000 and he is very impressed with his mini 1000

The HP Mini 1000 XP is for the most part a solid Netbook. It’s got its quirks like any other Netbook, but with its 10.2” screen, 94% full sized keyboard, ability to turn off the touch pad/buttons, super sexy look and US based tech support (in most cases, more then Asus, Lenvo, MSI at least) It is a good consideration when buying a new or first time Netbook. The Mini is only about 2 months old, so it’s got some catching up to do to the EEE PC brand, but give it some time. I’m sure we’ll all be impressed later down the road.

He is also very impressed with the keyboard.

He has also given some nice tips to improve the battery life: Continue reading “Long review of HP Mini 1000 [Netbook]”
