CNET Asia Review

By Dan Ackerman, CNET.com
Apr 9, 2008

Very good

7.5

out of 10

View score

The good: Inexpensive; solid construction; stylish design belies its budget price; nearly full-size keyboard.

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.

Basically enough for portable computing

Apr 9, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Reasonable price, light and looking cool
Cons: Low performance when using Vista
Opinion:
This tiny boy is basically enough for someone who needs a portable and reasonable-priced laptop. I have a question: what would you guys expect when you are going to by a tiny computer. Absolutely just because it's light and able to perform basic task, such as : web browsing, documenting. This one can offer all with a nice price rather than a Vaio costing $2K or $3k; and it does look cool!
