Those who have just now bought a new gadget could find themselves in dilemma when another avant-garde gadget is launched in the wild goose chase of today’s market. In such a situation, it is well-understood how it feels for those who have just purchased netbooks.

The latest one to enter the portable mini laptop market is the successor of HP 2133 Mini-Note: Mini 1000, which has already got a hands-on review from Gizmodo, jkOnTheRun, & Engadget just like its successor (2133 Mini-Note) had got when it was rolled out in the market.
