HP Mini 1000 6-cell Battery in the House
jkOnTheRun —
... I have been enjoying the loaner HP Mini 1000 Mi for a while now but it wasn’t until this week that the power of this 10-inch netbook was revealed in its full potential. That happened when I installed Windows 7 RC on it and it really has been a great performer since the install. I have used the Mini 1000 for several mobile outings and it’s worked well with the exception of battery life. The 3-cell battery is just not big enough to provide more than 2.5 to 3 hours of life and that’s cutting it a little close for my outings. I don’t like to carry power ...

HP Mini 110 Netbook Reviewed- Gets Bigger
jkOnTheRun —
... These few additions make the Mini 110 a fuller package than the older model but it comes at a price with the new netbook weighing 2.6 pounds versus 2.4 pounds of the older one. The Mini 110 is also 1.3 inches thick, a tad thicker than the original Mini 1000. I have been impressed with the thinness and low weight of the Mini 1000 so I am not sure I like seeing the bigger package of the Mini 110. ...
