I just noticed the new HP 2133 Mini-Note PC is
available on on HP's site. It looks pretty neat. Basically it's a mini-laptop with a 8.9-inch diagonal WXGA (1280 x 800 resolution) screen and a "92% full-size" keyboard. Additionally, it has an external VGA port that supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz. The thing weighs 2.8 lbs. It has a
VIA C7-M processor (1.0, 1.2, or 1.6 Ghz
options). The coolest part is that is ships with Windows Vista (boo!) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 installed (yay!). Ordering it with SLED10 will save you $50. Here's a picture:
Oh, and they won't ship the 1.0 Ghz version with Vista.
I wonder why? [ 1 | 2 ]
Pretty cool device at a reasonable price; just for fun, I configured a 1.2 Ghz model with SLED10 and 2GB of RAM for $618. Pricing starts at $499. Here are the
detailed specs.
I don't know if it's as cool as Sony's
VAIO UX, but it sure is a lot cheaper and probably quite a bit more practical for most people.

That is a pretty good deal, I would almost consider getting one if I was in the market.
Hi, how is the battery life with it?
vakhitov, the official numbers from HP are:
3-cell Primary Battery Up to 2 hours 15 minutes
6-cell Primary Battery Up to 4 hours 30 minutes
The 3-cell batter is standard. These numbers are when running Windows Vista. I didn't find any numbers for SLED10.
Thanks for the info, Brian!
