The Mini-Note's screen is almost as show-stopping as its keyboard.
The small and charming new mini-laptop has received just as much attention in both places. This is a keyboard for those who can touch-type, as I've discovered between sessions writing a book review at the local watering hole on the Mini-Note, and back at home on my Sony Vaio. And typing feels much, much more comfortable than on the Asus-actually pleasant rather than just serviceable. HP designed the machine around the keypad, which somehow feels bigger than its 92-percent-of-full-size span. And, for me, that keyboard is probably the crux of the Mini-Note's appeal.

I've found some other nice touches, like a built-in Web cam and Wi-Fi (though the Asus has that, too), plus a spill-resistant keyboard. For electronic devices, that's as high a compliment as you can get in the looks category these days. As I've been blogging, grading, writing, browsing and drinking with the laptop out and about over the past week or so, several people who've spotted me think the Mini-Note is some sort of newfangled mini-Macbook. What's more, the Mini-Note features some nearly Apple-level design in its sleek and silvery package.

And it's admirably free of "crapware," that annoying-and often intrusive-third-party stuff which PC manufacturers so often pack into their systems.

And you get a lot more: a 120 GB hard drive, 2 GB of RAM, a Windows operating system (I got Vista Business, though to be honest I would have preferred XP) and, hence, compatibility with lots of standard software. At up to $749, it's more expensive than the Asus, but the Mini-Note still comes at less than half the price of most Windows ultraportables out there. Eee as I type, those flaws of confinement make Hewlett-Packard's Mini-Note 2133 laptop look pretty appealing. I've used it a good deal since (as have the thousands flocking to buy it), but even the Goliath-beating Asus can be frustrating: The keyboard is usable but a bit cramped, and the little guy comes pre-loaded with applications that are fine as far as they go-but it doesn't run standard software. version of Asus' Eee PC, and found it a solid Web-and-email tool-at a pretty affordable price. So while I've already tested some of the latest tablets for PM, now I'm fully invested in the new form-factor craze spreading through Gadget Land: mini-laptops.Īfter drooling over it at CES earlier this year, I got my hands on the tiny, 7-in. We’re hoping that this is one of those rumors that comes true because the 2113 is certainly an attractive mini-notebook and other than the platform, it has a lot going for it.Trying to keep up my blog while grading finals means I need a serious to-go computer. It could simply be that HP is working on either an Atom powered version or a more traditional ULV-Core CPU-powered version. The rumor going around pre-launch is that HP might launch 2 versions of the mini-notebook, one powered by VIA and the more expensive by Intel.

"In reality, web pages rendered slower than expected, multi-tasking was painfully slow, and most processor-hungry applications like Photoshop or video encoding software just didn't like the VIA processor." "On paper the 1.6GHz VIA C7-M processor should provide excellent speed for general computing tasks," said Notebook Review's JerryJ. Sadly, it seems that the VIA CPU isn’t winning it many benchmarks: When we hear about HP’s 2133 we were certainly eager to see how it’d stack up.
Ever since the ASUS Eee PC stole our hearts, we’ve been longing for a similar product with a few extra features such as an ExpressCard slot and more storage.
