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 looooved the netbooks. they were perfect for my use case
I had an Asus eeepc, forgot which one though. Had some shitty Nvidia card that was making the fan run non-stop in Linux. Had to completely shut it off with some strange command line magic.
they were really great for running kali on and crackin local wifi. i didnt pay for internet for years
Same, shame really, had tablets not decimated that market segment they probably would have been fantastic with modern hardware lol
