Pros: So far I'd give it a 9/10. Nicely built. Quicker than expected. Bright sharp screen. Excellent keyboard layout and feel (considering form factor).

Cons: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi not separately switchable. Manual Wi-Fi config (for non-broadcast SSID) only offers WEP, not WPA. OpenOffice installed is v2.4, not v3. Webcam is woefully insensitive. HP says it's not a low-light item. I'd say it's not a normal light item.]]>Feb 15th 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/hp-mini-1000-mi-gets-video-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/hp-mini-1000-mi-gets-video-review/

Standard ExpressCard/ 80211abgn/bluetooth.
Standard 2.5" hard drive with some kind of shock/stability mechanism.
Optional 1366x768.
Metallic casing.

I can't wait for a full video review of that device. It's pretty much sold out any place that sells it.

That said HP is leading the value/quality race for these netbooks. Competition is good.]]>Feb 16th 2009 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/hp-mini-1000-mi-gets-video-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/hp-mini-1000-mi-gets-video-review/Feb 16th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/hp-mini-1000-mi-gets-video-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/hp-mini-1000-mi-gets-video-review/Feb 16th 2009 11:16AM
