HP 2133 Mini Note PC

The biggest complaint that I have about my Eee PC is that it feels like a toy and not a UMPC.  Every time I open it up, I feel like I am booting up Leap Frog or something.  But finally, the Eee PC has some decent competition.

Meet the HP 2133 Mini Note PC

The HP 2133 is the business version of the Eee PC.  Its all aluminum body makes the Eee PC feel even more like a toy.

There are some differences between the two UMPC.

The HP comes in two flavors,  SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 or Vista.  The CPU choices are a VIA C7-M 1.0, 1.2, or 1.6 GHz.  If you choose the $499 version, you’ll get a nice 4GB SSD hard drive.  On the higher end, at $849, you’re going to get a 160 GB Hard drive.  Configurations may be limited depending on what you want.  In all models, the 8.9 inch screen, 1280×768, and a bigger qwerty keyboard will come in handy.  Surprisingly, reviews are saying that Vista runs very well on this UMPC.  A memory upgrade is always welcomed, but the CPU is holding its own against the bloated OS.

Conclusion, if you are looking to buy an Eee PC 900, you might want to give this some consideration from the good 8.9 inch display and the bigger keyboard.  It will cost a little more, but looks more like a professional notebook than a toy.

I have to caution you that this unit does run a little warm when compared to the Eee PC.
