Notebookreview.com has a review up. They were disapointed with the processor performance, high temperatures, super reflective screen, and you don't get enough for what you pay.
Atom is definetely going to help make everything in this category better. I do like the look and feel of the HP notebook (and the option of Windows Vista); but its still too pricey and has those other cons you pointed out
what's with HP's hardware component selections? i wanted to get the tx2000z, but it uses an AMD cpu and gets really too hot to hold comfortably in tablet mode(ended up with a dell xps1330). now this 2133 looks really nice and yet again it's stuck with a slow and hot cpu?! grrrr!
did anyone notice how the battery sticks out like a sore thumb??? i m guessing every time u tuck it away in a bag, u would have to yank the battery out? that can be annoying... im kinda disappointed that this weights 2.7 lbs. i was hoping sub 2lbs...
Super reflective screen ? That whaqt I don't like about my HP regular note book (used as desk top). I'm glad I bought the EEE 900 - the screen is fabulous (non reflective)!

Looking forward to the Atom based Eee 900

According to Engadget sources, the 9" Eee might not have Atom:

It seems like Atom will be slower then current A100/A110 (however, much more efficient)

VIA hot? I think not. Underpowered, yes. But it is mainly known for it's low power requirements.

I notice that the version they tested had a 1.6GHz processor and a 7200RPM drive.
I bet the 1GHz/flash model will run a lot cooler, and you can use an Expresscard flash drive to add storage to it.
