Nope, we didn’t do it.  Actually the good people over at Engadget did.  They were able to get their hands on an HP Mini 1000 to give you their honest feelings about it.

It definitely looks sexy, but the 3 cell battery and Linux operating system shouldn’t be taken lightly.  With the Mini 1000 starting at $379, you should consider the Acer Aspire One which comes with Windows XP and a 6 cell battery for around the same price.
