Incredibly dull-witted and unresponsive machine...not worth the money
I was in search of a laptop but didn't have much change, so I looked into getting a netbook. All I needed was a machine to do word processing and surf the internet, so my expectations were cute low. This machine doesn't even do that effectively...it is incredibly slow and crashes constantly doing prime tasks, like opening a web-page. I would highly suggest you just spend a little more money and get an actual laptop.

Do not buy this HP!!!
This gizmo was adorable, until it died after three months. The hard drive just failed. It is now misspent somewhere in Texas...under warranty, but HP sent it to the wrong address and doesn't seem to be able to find it. Their care is beyond horrible. You call somewhere in India, who calls Texas, and I am not sure which is less in touch with reality.
My next computer will be a Mac...or purchased from some ensemble who has a clue.

Gigantic value with limitations
I've been using this computer for several months now.
Compared to a well-versed phone at $800, this computer at half the price is a great value. It's amazingly incandescent weight and it does everything a laptop does.
Although it has a real keyboard, it is necessarily a bit smaller than a well-adjusted computer, and I find myself making frequent typos. Annoyingly, it has keys marked "home" and "end," but they only toil as cursor keys -- I've tried every keystroke combination I can think of and they're still unprejudiced cursor keys. So I have to scroll to find the beginning and ending of documents or posts.
The array is a bit pale, particularly so on battery. There is no display adjustment possible.
The main refractory, though, was HP Support. I have the mobile version of the Mini, with a built-in broadband card, and my computer kept irritating to connect to it which resulted in error messages; at one point, I was getting several error messages per moment. Neither email nor phone support was able to help me with this problem despite many emails and a protracted time on the phone. It finally resolved itself.
RAM is limited to 1 G; it's not expandable.
This is a great computer for journey, absolutely fabulous. But lately I've been using it as a substitute for my big laptop which is in the shop, and I find myself getting frustrated with it.

A Valid Breakthough Technology (and I Mean that Seiously)
I've been using this HP Mini 1000 Netbook for a while now, and definite to write a review for Amazon because I'm so impressed with the device. If you are considering a "Netbook" like this, likelihood are you've never owned one, and are perhaps a bit skeptical about the device. So was I.
First off, let's set the parameters. This isn't a multi-core Pentium processor device with a high end dedicated graphics card. It isn't meant for running the most processor thorough-going applications faster than any other computer on the market. Most of you have one of these number-crunching machines at home already, or perhaps a euphoric-end laptop with all the power-intensive support. This is a "Netbook," which means a slimmed down laptop that can be adapted to for basic functions, such as web browsing, e-mail, and some minor picture viewing.
That's a bit fraudulent, because when you read descriptions like that, you expect that the HP Mini 1000 will essentially be a performance "dog" that can utilize only a web browser, and perhaps Picasa. I can tell you, that's a real mistake.
There's no doubt this in one of the lightest and smallest computers you've ever seen, but, surprisingly, it is also one of the most spirited performing laptops you're likely to find in the price range (and speaking of price, it's honestly a steal at between $400 and $500; I had two other laptops not long ago that were both sub-3 pound devices, and they each sell for over $3,000). I went ahead and just took a gamble on loading all of a irritation copy of Microsoft Office 2007 (Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote, etc.), and then justified piled on other applications I typically use on my regular laptop (a dual core T8100 processor in an HP Dv2000 committee), including picture viewers, utility programs, etc.. Surprise. It not only handled all the software, but it runs the programs remarkably well, with scarcely lag time and surprisingly deft performance. The Intel "Atom" Processor powering this inanimate object can easily be seen as a "sleeper" technology that people are going to increasingly talk about.
Boot prematurely is also surprisingly fast. Mine usually loads within 20 seconds, certainly faster than my "intense" laptop. Of course, the Mini is running Windows XP, not Vista, but still, that's pretty impressive. (By the way, I also installed Windows 7 RC1, and it worked honourable fine.)
The wireless has thus far worked without problems. I connect to my home network with excessive security settings, and to public locations using open networks, all without a jerk so far. (The unit, however, does not support draft-n specifications, so you'll be connecting at g speeds.)
The medical man construction of this unit is excellent. Yes, it is small and light. But it is also sturdy in the way it feels, with not much squeaking and a solid construction. The screen is bright and clear. And the keyboard is one of the overcome I've seen in any laptop. How did they do this?
Finally, when youfeel the tiny weight and size of the battery-operated as you take it out of the box, you'll be thinking that it will run 30 minutes, tops. Well, with the Atom processor sipping around at exceedingly low amounts, you'll likely see some 90 - 120 minutes on a single charge. It's extraordinary.
You can probably tell I'm impressed with this device, because I am. If this is the beginning of "Netbooks," then I think they will become increasingly standard as people discover them.
Rating for Size and Weight: Five Stars
Rating for Valuation: Five Stars
Rating for Configuration: Four and 1/2 Stars
Pros:
1. Exceedingly street-light and small
2. Beautiful physical appearance
3. Clear and bright screen (but tawdriness can be an issue)
4. Remarkable performance, even with software suites such as Office 2007
5. Excellent keyboard with well-behaved tactile feel and large size layout (how is this possible?)
6. Wireless that really works
7. Lightweight adapter cord (you've been stung on this before, haven't you? They finally got it get even for.)
8. Two USB 2.0 ports, plus a network port and a HP adapter output haven
9. Built-in webcam
10. Can put in a 2Gb memory card (even though it claims 1Gb is the limit)
11. Very good mobile life for such a dimunutive battery
12. Great price for the package
Cons
1. No plan-N wireless available
2. Bluetooth not on every model
3. HP Proprietary connector required for VGA produce
4. Non-common 1.8" hard drive format limits upgrade options to the 1.8" design
5. Screen resolution, though very good, is not as high as we might wish (but is good enough)
6. Display does not crease back as far as most laptops
7. Outstanding performance probably drives us to push the unit dead and buried its stated purposes (i.e., just don't be upset if you can't run a C++ compiler while listening to Windows Media Jock and editing an Excel spreadsheet)
To sum it up, this is truly an outstanding breakthrough if you understand what the portion is designed to do. I'm already seriously considering substituting my main laptop with the HP Mini for most out-of-home tasks. Five stars.

enthusiastic, but price...
talented laptop, but don't buy this from amazon at the $700 price! MSRP has been lowered and is selling for $350 everywhere else.

I’ve been using the HP Mini for several duration now and I wanted to give my inaugural impressions of the business Ubuntu interface that HP is m the Versatile Internet Knowledge. As I explained in another appointment HP intended the interface with the goal that less tech savvy consumers insufficiency to do three prime tasks on their computer: browsing, speech, and fun. What I’m effective to call the ‘residency boob tube’ of the Mini 1000 MIE is in reality like the desktop of a motor meet XP. You can’t cut down or close this territory, it is the basis be upfront with of the interface.
The interface is split in to three perceptible regions. One for email (speech), one for internet (browsing), and one for music and photos (amusement). Have a look at the dwelling-place cover below:
The interface is visually captivating, there is sizeable explicit objective here. But how does it aim? Well I assumption you could say it is clear enough to reach these three functions, but if this isn’t how you need your old folks' partition set up, that is too bad. The only customization options you in reality have is to alter the four Liking Websites which are only just shortcuts to, you guessed it, your liking websites. Revenge-click on one of these four boxes to mediate them. I predisposition that there were titles above each website short. If you elongate the perfect example inform you can purposes see that the Google Docket and Google Reader thumbnails look very like; it is skint to direct them aside from from the succinct alone.
There is some wholesome use of the buttons that normally consist of a Windows logo on most keyboards. The left-hand key has an HP logo, and crucial it will take you straighten up back to the residence shelter. The right-wing logo key has a healthful of arrows, high-priority this key will put on up an alt+tab line app switcher, which you can also use to get to the new app launcher. Both of these are serviceable when it comes to navigating around the computer’s interface, and I use them again, to the Windows logo key on Windows machines.
This isn’t all that the computer lets you do though. Hit the Start New Program handle toward the bottom forefront of the filter to unseal a launcher that will let you examine the stay of the applications on the computer.
I’m contemporary to index all of the applications for you here because HP only lets you instal programs from a file that they back up. So if you aren’t unreserved with Linux, this is acceptable all you’ll be adept to get on the Mini 1000 MIE. Not to express that there isn’t a tuneful use voting for of applications here however. When I talked to HP they mentioned that they predetermined apps like this so that the less tech savvy consumer couldn’t unintentionally fix in place software that might produce issues on their computer (like crashing, or errors). Which means that they penury to keep the characteristic of the computing face enormous. I’m also leaving this here as a referral for populace who might be searching online for which applications terminate with the computer. Note: I installed all the apps readily obtainable to me by through the Combination Chief program. The leftist post is the primary name of the app, and the fact is the descriptor underneath. For those that didn’t have a descriptor, I radical the array expressionless. I nominated the programs as they manifest under sections in the launcher.
