Announced in late October 2008, just days after the 2133 Mini-Note had seen major price cuts, a new HP netbook has been announced. Featuring a plastic case and an optionally larger, yet cheaper 10.2" screen - the HP Mini 1000 and MIE Linux are two competitively priced options powered by the Intel Atom, unlike their older Via powered relatives. Featuring the same old 1.6GHz Atom N270, the standard 1024 x 600 resolution, 512 to 2GB of DDR2 RAM and a 8 or 16GB SSD or 60GB HDD, the Mini 1000 and MIE Linux are standard fare for netbooks. Priced at $379-699 the most attractive and repulsive characteristics of the device remain unchanged from the earlier 2133 - the Mini-Note's superior full sized laptop keyboard, and its miniature split-buttoned trackpad. Details are still not entirely confirmed - and thus, features and model specifications listed below are incomplete and likely to change.
