Im planning to buy a Core 2 Duo Laptop from HP - probably DV6xxx series but, I'd definately be interested in a $500 one of these to complement it for my business trips to China/Japan/Korea.]]>Apr 16th 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 17th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/

Not to sound like a Dell whore, but seriously, you know whatever they throw into the ring this summer is going to change the whole scene. Anybody buying an UMPC right now needs a little patience.]]>Apr 16th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/
This isn't some hard drive capacity bump or something trivial. It's an entirely new line of processors - Intel's best effort at taking a stranglehold on the UMPC market - as well as a whole SLEW of new competitors all in the same time frame.

Tech isn't always worth waiting for. This time, it absolutely is.]]>Apr 16th 2008 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/
In other words, I would rather a have the HP's keyboard and construction with the VIA than say, the EEE 701/901 keyboard with Atom. It's matter of being able to type well. ]]>Apr 16th 2008 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 17th 2008 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/for 2.7 lbs, i'ld rather get the lenovo x61 with all the horsepower for around 900 bux man.]]>Apr 16th 2008 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/

Did you order the more expensive version or did you upgrade the ram and hard drive yourself? How did you do it as there seems to be no screw holes on the bottom?]]>Apr 16th 2008 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/

1) Performance is unproven and it's not clear what actual effect it will have on battery life when combined with a chipset.
2) The VIA processor @1.6 is perfectly adaquate at handling tasks that this laptop is designed for. What you are saying is something akin to 'i will wait for lotus to put a v12 in the elise'....it does not make much sense.
3) It has not even been announced that the transition to atom will happen and no word on what the pricing will be.

Instead, what we have is a compltely compelling product that is ready to roll and for $500-$750, by the time that more processing power is needed....you could likely just pick up a new mini-note.

Honesty...what is everyone here planning on using a mini-note for anyway? A little 3dsmax? maybe some maya, autocad, video authoring, h264 compression...what????]]>Apr 16th 2008 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 17th 2008 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 17th 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 16th 2008 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/
Sub 1-kg laptops are not news at all.

They are popular in markets like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other major cities that public transportation are the primary means of moving around.

Machines like Panasonic R series with ~ 940 grams and has Core 2 Duo ULV Processor, 8 hours battery, 2.5" Hard Drives are one of the best machine in that class. It's even business-rugged.

But they cost USD 2000+

Sony has a VAIO UX series,
just 1.2lb and 4.5" screen, with Core 2 Solo ULV processor,
but it cost USD 2500+

Smaller machines aren't going to be cheaper, because it is more difficult to fit in the same Computing Power into a more limited space.]]>May 12th 2008 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 17th 2008 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/NOT gaming, video editing, and ripping DVD's.]]>Apr 17th 2008 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/
I ordered an HP 2133 last night. I wanted a tough, small platform to take on trips which would allow me to surf the web, email, do some simple writing and upload my photos. It should do all of those.

Would some other laptop do as well? Can't say. But I valued the HP name and the specs are adequate for my needs. Ain't rocket science, as they say.]]>Apr 17th 2008 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Apr 17th 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Jun 11th 2008 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/Sep 10th 2008 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/hp-2133-mini-note-getting-xp-install-option-in-mid-may/i want to downgrade my PANASONIC CF-Y7 From vista to xp, please adivse me step by step from scratch
