It's not just a tiny netbook; it's a watershed moment where Silicon Valley meets the fashion runway. While the Vivienne Tam "Peony" version turned heads at New York Fashion Week, this Black Onyx Swirl edition was its sophisticated and masculine, "Black Tuxedo" counterpart. It predates the iPad and MacBook Air, proving a tiny netbook PC can be a statement piece.
Unlike most netbooks that come wiped, this bundle includes the ultra-rare HP "Mi" Edition - a custom-designed Ubuntu Linux that turned this netbook into a "digital clutch." HP Mini was actually the "spiritual ancestor" to the Chromebook. HP's MIE was a custom-skinned Linux designed to be "always online," fast-booting, and focused on web apps - exactly what Google would do with ChromeOS three years later by Samsung and Acer. The early Chromebooks used the same type of low-power Intel Atom processors that this HP Mini 1000 pioneered.
Why the Memorex DVD+RW DL Drive is included
To ensure you can actually use this rare bundle, I am also including a new in box Memorex MRX600LE Slim DVD+RW DL Recorder. This allows for an instant "factory reset" to either Windows XP Pro, the HP Linux Experience or to try any other live boot or install - the ultimate freedom and power for a walk down all the runways of your choice.
Condition & Rarity:
- Museum Quality: "Like New" condition. The original factory protective film is still applied to the back cover.
- The Build: Features the "Infinity" edge-to-edge flush glass display and the famous 92% full-sized keyboard (actually usable for typing!).
- Ready to Run: Fresh, clean install of Windows XP Pro. No dust, no grime, like new.
This model is a legend among enthusiasts—Wikipedia notes it can even run Windows 10. See the video review on CNET. YouTube shows enthusiasts with unofficial installs of Windows 11 on this digital clutch collectors piece.
