HP Compaq 2133: a powerful UMPC / subnotebook

Insert here your comments on the article "HP Compaq 2133: a powerful UMPC / subnotebook"

After a period of absence, HP recently back in the smartphone arena. But the company apparently plans wilder: the new HP Compaq 2133 UMPC seems a very small subnotebook or to be.

I would always hear one test ....

If HP fan, I can only appreciate this.

Optional Solid State Drive. Since these are expensive and limited in capacity, I can not imagine that this little machine and Vista PCs will be supplied.

There is no mention of the price of this machine!

And that price tag I am still most interested in these specs.

I think you also have the price tag on the device can hang. If 'Lifestyle Accessory Accessory "

Hm, cool. I am still in the market for a subnotebookje.

HP strikes chord with Mini-Note PC @ Mobility Today

ash Wednesday officially announced, it seems!

$ 1200 is quite it.

The battery life seems to be quite dramatic ... at least I've read here and there.

Because these in the Netherlands according to HP Netherlands at the earliest available mid September I will have this on eBay and purchased it since more than one week in use.

've Purchased more expensive implementation with 120 GB Hard Drive, 1.6 GHz processor, 2Gb Ram and 6 cell battery.
Have 760, $ = paid + $ 85 shipping and handling. Total 846, = $
Converted about 547, = euro. Unfortunately was still 115, = euro and import VAT levy. Total of 662, = Euro.

No peanuts for a minilap but ooohhhh what ission beautiful.
The keyboard is really full size and the screen is super sharp.

The removable 6-cell battery sticks down, and thus gives a small slope to the keyboard as I myself find very pleasant to use. The weight is low but this is no disadvantage for me. The mini is good with one hand to pick up and move. The dimensions I find perfect fit perfectly in the glove compartment of the car, is not the whole table-consuming meetings and is also on the boat no impediment.
The letters are small, very small, but this is with some setting changes to adapt.

Disadvantage: There's Vista ..............
Now you might say that's an advantage but I think Vista the biggest disadvantage of the mini note.
Now I had no experience with Vista since I upgraded my desktop free time left won by losing all the negative reports about compatibilliteitsproblemen etc. And the experiences I had on my kids have me all within 2 days to decide to scrap off Vista and XP Pro to put on them.

The program is in my view, far too heavy for the Via processor so that everything is rather slow. A Web page requires 100% CPU! Play an online game (backgammon) delivers at every turn 2 a 3 seconds delay.
A quick look up and open a file is not there a movie and play is a tragedy.

If you think Vista is a fine program and find that slow no objection to let me switch to mainly be because XP is quite a task. On the site of HP are now all available drivers for the mini note because I'm not the only one who find Vista a disaster. Downgrade to XP Pro is also free if you have an xp pro installation disc (image) you install are already used with the ProductKey XP and then log the call and give ProductKey by Vista. you get an activation code for your XP Pro.

XP Pro installed with the mini note is a raging roeland everything that you can handle him voorschoteld.

On xp pro I have installed Mozilla and VLC media player for ease of use.
