LGR retrospective on the HP Mini 1000, one of the more popular PCs from the short-lived era of the netbook! If you could even call it an era. In hindsight, it was all a bit silly, even though the 45nm processors making it possible were quite exciting at that point in time. So join me in reviewing the Mini 1000 that I had back in 2009 (or close to it) and putting it through its paces 16 years later!

I don't think you'd need to use an A-series SOC, considering the power usage of even a M4 is basically a rounding error - and they've already got M-series stuff running passively jammed into a tiny case anyways.

I'd be on something like that immediately, but I somehow doubt Apple will ever make a 12" Macbook ever again, given that the majority of people seem to like the 13" airs just fine.

Love to be wrong, though.

    The M1 going full tilt will use 35+ watts, vs like the A15 which I think people guess is limited to around 7 watts. I have a 10th gen and it gets outstanding battery life doing basically anything. Meanwhile the M1 powered iPads can actually drain pretty quickly. The CPU is efficient compared to a core i9, but 30 watts in a tablet is a lot for their battery.

    But the latest phone CPU constrained to say sub 10 watts would last an insane amount of time on even the smallest battery you'd put in a tablet/keyboard glued to a tablet running Mac OS. I get 10-15 hours of battery life on my M1 MBP, and most of the time I don't really need all that performance. If I could double that that would be insane.
