That extra width is well-used by the Mini-Note's wider 8.9-inch display (versus 7 inches for the Eee). That makes it roughly an inch wider but otherwise about equal in dimensions to the Asustek Eee. It's 10 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep and 1.05 inches (at front). The notebook weighs in at 2.6 pounds and measures a hair over an inch high at its thinnest point.

The first thing I noticed when taking the 2133 Mini-Note PC out of the box was its sleek anodized aluminum case.

There are two other configurations: For $US549, you get the same configuration I tested but with Suse Linux, while US$749 give you a Via 1.6 GHz processor, 2 GB of Ram, Bluetooth, a 6-cell battery (rather than the standard 3-cell), and Windows Vista Business. I tested a US$599 version of the Mini-Note outfitted with a 1.2GHz Via processor 1 GB of RAM a 120 GB, 5400 RPM hard drive and, surprisingly, Windows Vista Home Basic. In fact, the Mini-Note's big, bright screen, its ability to run Windows Vista, and its reasonable starting price of US$499 (for a version with a 1.0 GHz Via processor, Novell's SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, 512KB of RAM and a 4GB solid-state drive) makes it worthy of serious consideration by travelers who need to regularly write e-mails and edit documents but who don't require heavier-duty computing tasks. It does a good - although not perfect - job of negating one seemingly immutable law of mobile computing: The smaller devices get, the more sacrifices are required in terms of usability. The new HP mini-notebook computer is a bit bulkier and slightly more expensive than the Eee, but it is also more powerful, polished and usable. HP's new 2133 Mini-Note PC goes even further, providing a bigger, brighter screen and a host of other advantages that could make the device a mainstream hit.

It's going to be interesting to see how all of these new (and rumored) ultra portable PCs stack-up in terms of performance and battery like when or if they finally arrive.Last year, Asustek's Eee PC became a surprise hit by providing far more power and usability than a smart phone for light-traveling road warriors with far less expense and bulk than a traditional laptop.

But considering these early models are powered by VIA C7 processors, they're a good possibility of VIA Isaiah based models too, since the processors are pin compatible. Rumor has it, Intel Atom based versions of the HP Mini-Note PC are in the works as well. Other pre-configured HP Mini-Notes feature standard SATA hard drives. Operating systems options include the 32-bit versions of Windows Vista Home Basic and Vista Business, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.Īlso note, that unlike the ASUS EeePC, only one version of the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC is outfitted with flash-based storage, the KR922UT which has a 4GB flash module.

Two models also feature Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity.

At the moment, five different pre-configured options are listed on the HP website, with VIA C7-M ULV processors speeds ranging from 1.0 to 1.6GHz and DDR2 memory configurations from 512MB to 2GB.Īll of the HP 2133 series Mini-Note PCs feature 8.9' WXGA screens, VIA (S3) Chrome 9 graphics processors, and Broadcom WiFi controllers. The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC is offered in a wide variety of configurations with price points starting at $499. HP has a new ultra portable notebook available for purchase today, that seems poised to do battle with ASUS' upcoming 8.9' version of the EeePC.
