The current trend in laptop technologies is the sub-12-inch screen territory with super-light super-portable chassis. After the launch of the EeePC other companies started jumping on this. HP’s entry into the fray is the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC (see HP press release).
Like its competitors, this unit is designed for the education market and is priced aggressively at $499.
Also like its competitors, it has no optical drive, a low mount of RAM (512MB) and a *nix operating system. HP chose to go with SuSE for the OS.
Let’s not forget the itty-bitty factor. 8.9-inch screen and overall weight under 2 pounds.
