LGR retrospective on the HP Mini 1000, one of the more popular PCs from the short-lived era of the netbook! If you could even call it an era. In hindsight, it was all a bit silly, even though the 45nm processors making it possible were quite exciting at that point in time. So join me in reviewing the Mini 1000 that I had back in 2009 (or close to it) and putting it through its paces 16 years later!

I used one of these throughout uni. Was great for fitting on small "tables" in lecture halls and you could throw it in your bag without worrying about it. Speed was not its strength...
