HP 2133: The only thing Mini is it’s Size


It seems like HP’s Eee PC-killer is looking pretty good based on the initial set of reviews collected by Engadget from all over the net.

Small in size...

Personally, what I really like about the HP 2133 Mini-Note are the options available which allows you to find one that’ll best suit your needs based on your work and budget. While Asus does offer some variations of the Eee, the difference between each model is really minuscule. HP, on the other hand, makes the Mini Note available with varying RAM, HDD capacities, and connectivity options such as Bluetooth. Despite its diminutive size, it’s amazing how the mid-range and more expensive models manage to pack in 120 to 160 GB HDDs which is a huge difference especially when compared to the Eee. Not to mention, the Mini-Note looks more sturdy and sophisticated with its anodized aluminum shell.

Big in features...

Price starts at $ 499 for the most basic version and goes as high as $ 849. Critics would probably find that the most expensive model is priced too steep and can actually get you a full laptop. I agree, but what’s good about it is that the option is there for those who really want an ultra-portable with specs at par with the big boys. Yeah, it’s a bit more pricey than the Eee, but I wou’dn’t mind shelling out a few more buck for something as beautiful as this.

I can’t wait to get my grubby hands on one once it hits local stores.

Yeah, that could be a point of concern; but based on available reviews, it seems to “work” for the most part.

there may be a “refresh” model of this that runs on Via’s Isaiah processor, which performance-wise trumps Intel’s new Atom processor. i’d like to see that refresh model when it gets released

I really like it. I just give my old laptop to my younger sister. This mini laptop is enough for me.

I own an HP2133. The keyboard is very comfortable to use, almost like a regular laptop and doesn’t making clicking noise like other laptops out there. It’s got a really nice aluminum casing which makes it look very professional- not like the Asus Eee which looks like a toy. Main problem though is that it generates a lot of heat and so it’s not ideal to put on your lap. Other than that should generate a lot of envious stares when surfing in any of the wi-fi hotspots.
