A Closer Look at Mini Notebook Computers

This ultra mobile netbook features an impressive 8.9-inch screen, a spacious and large keyboard, a full-sized notebook hard drive, and plenty of other impressive features. Let's take a closer look at the Mini-note too find out if it is a good notebook. HP Mini Note 2133 Specifications:

  • Windows Vista Business
  • VIA C7-M ULV Processor 1.6Ghz.
  • 2GB DDR2
  • 160GB hard drive
  • 8.9-inch diagonal WXGA (1280 x 768)
  • Broadcom 802.11a/b/g, b/g with option for Bluetooth 2.0
  • 3.23 lb with 6-cell battery and 160GB hard drive

Conclusion

The HP 2133 Mini-Note is one of the most impressive subnotebooks we've ever seen. Unfortunately, the amazing design and solid range of features are put down by a sub-par CPU and a price tag that places this notebook dangerously close to far superior 12-inch notebooks such as the HP tx2000.

HP managed to create the single most impressive ultraportable notebook available for purchase, and then decided to put a lackluster CPU in it.

Despite the weak CPU performance, the HP 2133 Mini-Note is a remarkably solid system that might be a great fit for students, teachers, or mobile business professionals. If HP decides to swap the VIA processors with the new Intel Atom processors or alternative processors from Intel, the Mini-Note would become the best subnotebook on the market.

Pros

  • The most desirable 8.9-inch notebook we've ever seen
  • Superb build quality

  • Peculiar location for touchpad buttons
  • Screen is too reflective due to second glossy protective layer
  • Aluminum and plastic casing gets a little too hot
  • Price is a little too high for what you get
