Since this is intended for student use, the notebook was carried around for three days in a back pack filled with books, notebooks, and assorted odds and ends. The magnesium alloy support structure protects internal components. The all-aluminum casing gives the notebook a sleek, spacecraft-like feel reminiscent of the MacBook Air as well as feeling reassuringly solid. For solution providers in the education vertical, the Mini-Note provides flexibility - some school districts prefer Linux, others want to stick with the familiar Windows. The 4 Gbyte model, at $499, comes only with SLED 10 pre-installed.

However, the Mini-Note 2133 is also available with Windows Vista - both Business and Home Basic - as well as FreeDOS. Like the EEE PC, the Mini-Note is available with Linux, Novell SuSE. Solution providers can offer customers this brand-new solution to be considered in time for when schools reopen in the fall. School districts and teachers start evaluating and purchasing supplies and equipment for the new school year. As the end of the school year approaches, students start dreaming of summer vacation. The timing of the announcement is appropriate.

It should be no surprise that HP had an EEE PC on the table next to the Mini-Note as part of the briefing. For its functionality and price, the closest match in the market appears to be the EEE PC from ASUS. It uses VIA processors, commonly seen in a UMPC, rather than an Intel Core 2 Duo or similar processor. It's too large and too functional to be considered a UMPC, and but slightly less powerful than a conventional ultra-portable.

HP is trying to carve out a new space in the portable notebook market with the Mini-Note. Prices range from $499 to $749 depending on hardware configuration. The SATA drives come in either 120 Gbytes of 160 Gbytes the flash drive ships only in 4 Gbytes. The notebook has several hard drive options: a 5400 rpm SATA drive, 7200 rpm SATA drive, or SATA Flash. The Mini-Note weighs 2.63 pounds, but it can be slightly heavier, depending on the hardware configuration. It's slightly thicker in the back to accommodate the battery. The size matches schooldesks and children, measuring a little over an inch thick in the front, 10 inches wide and 6.5 inches deep. The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC features a VIA CN896NB chipset with VIA c7-M ULV 1.2 Ghertz processor, 894 Mbytes of memory, VIA Chrome 9 graphics, and a 8.9 inch-diagonal WXGA screen. HP first briefed the Test Center on the Mini-Note and then sent a unit to the lab for review. While designed specifically for the education market, the 2133 Mini-Note is also appropriate for business and mobile professionals looking for a secondary (or tertiary) laptop. HP blasts that assumption by introducing the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, a notebook that is both portable and affordable. I am happy with this computer after the change I made in operating systems and will look forward to using it on the road.That's generally the case for small notebooks - high on portability, but priced at a premium. It is a travel computer only as I have a 17 inch HP for home use. I don’t find this to be a con as hardly any computers come with Office to begin with.įor the manner in which I will be using it for my business travel I find it to be an overall nice computer. I simply put my 2003 version on the computer and uninstalled the 2007 version.

It has Office 2007 on the computer but it is only a trial version which runs out. It also has a vent on the left side but I would not recommend ignoring those bottom vents with the way the computer becomes warm. The machine gets a bit warm so be aware that operating it in your lap means being mindful of not blocking the vents on the bottom. I did not have the issue with videos that another person has complained about in his or her review. At any rate the trade off was alright as Vista in my opinion is nothing but problems anyway. The processor may just not be equipped to run Windows Vista well.

I found it to be a bit slow, which supprised me with the memory it has, and desided to remove Windows Vista Business(which I don’t like anyway)I put XP Professional on the computer. The right and left keys being split on both sides of the mouse is inconvient but liveable. I found it hard to adjust it so it could be controlled without frustration.

The screen is clear, easy to read (after fonts are changed to a bigger size for people who need a litle help seeing up close)The hard drive is a good size. It is much more comforable than computers that sit flat. The design is attractive with a comfortable key board for typing and the design gives the computer an excellent slant for typing.
