CNET Asia Review
Very good
The good: Inexpensive; solid construction; stylish design belies its budget price; nearly full-size keyboard. 7.5
out of 10View score
The bad: Weak performance; unimpressive battery life; tiny touchpad; misses out on new Intel Atom CPUs.
The bottom line: Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favorite for on-the-go use.

Opinion:
Bought the above 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately my unit has a bright spot (green colour) on the screen, though small but obvious. After various conversations with the call centres and visit to the service centre, it seemed that they could not help me at all and I was just not lucky having brought a machine with this problem, since the problem is so called 'within the acceptable range of the industry'!
