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 still have one, too! Found for $3 at a flea market because the HDD is going bad… and I can’t find a ZIF adapter that recognizes anything I plug into it. HP = custom pinout on the ZIF ribbon?
