The screen's brightness left a lot to be desired. On-the-road professionals using the unit as a secondary laptop will not need a larger screen for light word processing, email, or Web browsing.

Most Web sites and educational software targeting that market fit perfectly well in the screen. The screen, at 1280x768, is small, but again, it would be enough for students in the K-12 market. To protect the notebook hard drive from sudden movements or shock, HP has 3D DriveGuard, a three-axis digital accelerometer chip, on its 7200 rpm SATA drives to act as a motion sensor to secure the drive when necessary.

To strengthen the hinges (a common place for wear and tear), HP used metal alloy hinges with hardened steel pin axles. It also considered that students will be opening and closing the notebook fairly often (between classes, for example). HP kept its intended target audience in mind when designing the notebook to be portable, spill-proof, and scratch-resistant. It has the same protective coating as the keys. The touchpad sensor is a narrow rectangle with buttons on either side. The HP Dura Keys are spill-resistant and have a clear coating that protects the finish and makes it resistant to general wear and tear. The keyboard is big enough for smaller hands, but not so tightly cramped that large hands will have difficulty typing. The HP 2133 Mini-Note has a 92 percent full-size keyboard that is comfortable to use. It's not intended to fall under a rugged designation, so reviewers did not conduct any appropriate testing. It was small enough to fit easily in to the bag, and also emerged unscratched. Since this is intended for student use, the notebook was carried around for three days in a back pack filled with books, notebooks, and assorted odds and ends. The magnesium alloy support structure protects internal components. The all-aluminum casing gives the notebook a sleek, spacecraft-like feel reminiscent of the MacBook Air as well as feeling reassuringly solid. For solution providers in the education vertical, the Mini-Note provides flexibility - some school districts prefer Linux, others want to stick with the familiar Windows. The 4 Gbyte model, at $499, comes only with SLED 10 pre-installed.

However, the Mini-Note 2133 is also available with Windows Vista - both Business and Home Basic - as well as FreeDOS. Like the EEE PC, the Mini-Note is available with Linux, Novell SuSE. Solution providers can offer customers this brand-new solution to be considered in time for when schools reopen in the fall. School districts and teachers start evaluating and purchasing supplies and equipment for the new school year. As the end of the school year approaches, students start dreaming of summer vacation. The timing of the announcement is appropriate.

It should be no surprise that HP had an EEE PC on the table next to the Mini-Note as part of the briefing. For its functionality and price, the closest match in the market appears to be the EEE PC from ASUS. It uses VIA processors, commonly seen in a UMPC, rather than an Intel Core 2 Duo or similar processor. It's too large and too functional to be considered a UMPC, and but slightly less powerful than a conventional ultra-portable.

HP is trying to carve out a new space in the portable notebook market with the Mini-Note. Prices range from $499 to $749 depending on hardware configuration. The SATA drives come in either 120 Gbytes of 160 Gbytes the flash drive ships only in 4 Gbytes. The notebook has several hard drive options: a 5400 rpm SATA drive, 7200 rpm SATA drive, or SATA Flash. The Mini-Note weighs 2.63 pounds, but it can be slightly heavier, depending on the hardware configuration.

It's slightly thicker in the back to accommodate the battery. The size matches schooldesks and children, measuring a little over an inch thick in the front, 10 inches wide and 6.5 inches deep. The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC features a VIA CN896NB chipset with VIA c7-M ULV 1.2 Ghertz processor, 894 Mbytes of memory, VIA Chrome 9 graphics, and a 8.9 inch-diagonal WXGA screen. HP first briefed the Test Center on the Mini-Note and then sent a unit to the lab for review. While designed specifically for the education market, the 2133 Mini-Note is also appropriate for business and mobile professionals looking for a secondary (or tertiary) laptop. HP blasts that assumption by introducing the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, a notebook that is both portable and affordable. That's generally the case for small notebooks - high on portability, but priced at a premium.
