Hewlett-Packard is getting small. A gaggle of miniaturised notebooks, announced this week and collectively called the Mini 1000, will be available in various configurations that begin at $379. The group is described as less capable than full-fledged laptops, but ideal for using the Internet on the go. Most models operate with Windows XP, including a $399 version available this week, fitted out with an 8.9-inch screen and an 8-gigabyte solid-state drive. For $50 more, buyers can get a 10.2-inch screen without increasing the case size (10.3 by 6.6 by 0.99 inches). Other variations include larger-capacity solid-state and revolving hard drives. A Linux version with mobile applications will be $379 when it ships in January. All have Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth is an option. A cellular-data version is due out in December. Weighing in at 2.25 to 2.4 pounds, depending on screen size, these devices can almost go from shoulder bag to purse - or even a generously sized pocket.
