Compaq released a new version of its Mini 1000 exclusively for the UK market. The new Atom based notebook from HP – Compaq is the company’s contribution to the mini notebook fad that is sweeping the whole world.

There is not much difference between the Mini 1000 and this Mini 700 other than the cheap price of $475. The Mini 700 sports integrated HSDPA radio, the hardware that made the original Mini 1000 very likeable. The new mini laptop has a resolution of 1024 x 576 pixels.

The company has not released yet the full details of the new product, so there is no information yet as to the capacity, GPU system installed, operating system and other information. But with that it is safe to assume that it cannot have specifications more advanced than that of Mini 1000. Reviews however from all over the blogosphere see the gadget one of the most confused product of the year, primarily because the company called it Mini 700 which is digits lower than its supposed predecessor.
