given the screen resolution of the hp 2133 and the targeted price this seems like a total killer offer to me.
but i live in europe, dont let me wait for too long hp, i want to have one of these for my study.
and PLEASE let us install xp on this!

I have not posted photos up on the site yet - but you can find them on www.notebookreview.com

The U100 was great, if they could have priced it at under $1000 back then it would have been killer. As it was, it made a great geek or exec tool/toy.

Thewre is no way this will sell for around $600 even if it doesn't have a cd drive (which seems to be the case)and have a penyrn cpu. Just rumors and dreaming. If this has the new via chipset that would cut costs AND performance but still I expect to see this at more than $800. we shall see

Why not? Penryn's are high yield chips that aren't terribly expensive to produce relative to other chips. And with Intel riding high as it is, selling at a loss isn't out of the question for them.

When you consider that the desktop 3Ghz Penryn can be had for $183, it's not out of the question at all.]]>Feb 20th 2008 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/

The Libretto came to market over 10 years ago. Look up the Sony Picturebook C1. It had a magnificent screen that took up the entire lid for the most part plus a built in swivel-camera. It came out about 5 years after the Libretto (I owned both). That's called technological advancement. Its hard to move forward walking backwards...]]>Feb 20th 2008 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/Feb 20th 2008 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/
Also, CNET stated
(http://asia.cnet.com/crave/2008/02/16/hp-umpc-coming-this-spring-/)
that it would be on par price-wise with the Eee PC and that it would
be customisable with skins. The digitimes article says that it's
aimed at business users as their second laptop. Contrasting info??]]>Feb 20th 2008 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/

Although it's not as affordable as I had hoped it's still a much better than Macbook Fart which is almost three times as expensive.

If the cost is low enough i may have to find a new home for my little Geeekbook.

Anyone know any "actual" specs for this thing?

I'm notto happy about the "Tamperproof casing" how am i gonna mod it.

After adding touchscreen to my eee i don't think i could go back to using the pointer full time.]]>Feb 20th 2008 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/Feb 20th 2008 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/

I do think that the $630 price point is a pipe-dream though. Remember the Eee was originally slated for an approx $200 retail, look at it now...

But finally a decent looking UMPC that isn't made from tacky plastic, will be looking forward to this. ]]>Feb 20th 2008 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/hps-umpc-2133-to-cost-630-when-shipping-in-april/
