HP-2133 Arrived
Posted in Computer on 06 Aug 2008 at 11:09 am
A couple of months back I had a chance to try the HP Mini-Note when it first came out and it had some really good features and excellent build quality. I tried the Vista one but I new that installing Windows XP would better then Vista. After searching around I decided to purchase one from Ebay and got one for a good deal, 15% below the usual price and barely used so instead of paying $780 for the Vista model I got it for $680.
Specs:
- HP Via C7
- 1.6 GHz
- 8.9 inch
- Windows Vista Ultimate/XP
- 2 GB Ram
- 120 GB HD
The first thing I did was to setup a dual boot since it came with Vista, I decided to keep it for some use but installed Windows XP Pro in another partition and it is by far a lot faster then Vista since I could make a direct comparison between them. It just feels lighter, and the battery lasts about 2 hours and 45 minutes which decent for something this small.

would you say its better than the Asus?

I love HPs, they’re my favourite, except they are considered heavy but who doesn’t need the exercise. Also, if it heats up quickly and fans forever I blame Vista. YUP still surviving with it

I am having the worst experience ever with HP and I got one for Dad with built in XP but it turned out to be defective and I had to send it back. A long story.
