HP announced a netbook with a proprietary, media-centric Linux distribution called MIE (Mobile Internet Experience). The HP Mini 1000 features an 8.9-inch or 10.2-inch display, a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, plus a 60GB hard drive or SSD (solid state disk) up to 16GB, says HP.
HP's first foray into the netbook world, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC (right), targeted the education market and was based on a Via C7-M ULV processor clocked at 1GHz, 1.2GHz, and 1.6GHz. The new HP Mini 1000 gains the more typical 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, teamed with the 945GSE and ICH7M supporting chipset. Unfortunately, it also now has 1024 x 600 screen resolution, instead of the Mini-Note's 1280 x 768 pixels.
