 EXCELENTE. September 23, 2008

Siempre estuve buscando una laptop o notebook de ese tamano, nadie tenia algo asi, tan potente, rapida y a un precio realmente accesible, claro que por el tamano no tiene el lector de CD/DVD pero no me complica ni perjudica pues cuando uno quiere algo hay que estar dispuesto a renunciar a algunas cosas.
Muy recomendable, el Windows Vista Business corre bien y rapido y la bateria es genial dura mas de 3 horas. Aun no pruebo la webcam pero supongo todo debe estar bien, sino volvere con malos comentarios. PUNO -LAGO TITICACA - PERU. Adeu.
 Save your money: anatomy of a disaster September 19, 2008

What a mess! I gave the ASUS away, thinking larger keys/screen would be worth the extra price. Here's what I got with the HP 2133:
1. Touch pad sends the cursor bouncing around, you'll spend a minimum couple seconds trying to find it every time you use it.
2. After two weeks of sitting on my credenza, booting up produced ... nothing. The unit wasn't dropped, abused, the OS simply evaporated.
3. HP's website doesn't recognize HP 2133, HP 2133 Mini-Note, etc. You get the idea HP is ashamed of it. The only way to get email to a service tech without a product number is to email the President.
4. The first tech who called quickly realized the OS was ... whatever it was. He shipped a dvd with SUSE on it. I didn't ask the obvious, why didn't HP ship it with the 2133 to begin with. I tried to find tech info, operating manuals on the website. Good luck.
5. The dvd loaded from an stand-alone optical drive, thankfully, I have one.
6. The new OS is as screwed up as the first; of course, installing it wipes out everything on the computer previously. The computer keeps asking for a hd password, advising that the hd (actually the 4gig flash memory) is locked until the right password is entered. Huh? This wasn't on the OS previously.
7. I use the same password for everything, I assumed it was from something on the OS before it blew up. That password doesn't work on the 2133. After four wrong guesses the OS finally proceeds, recognizes f9, f10, f11, etc. However, without the password, it's a circular firing squad, back and forth, till I give up. There's a list of possible generic passwords for SUSE on the Internet. None of them work.
8. I wrote the President of HP again, got an email from the head of the linux hp 2133 unit, or something like that. Who hasn't returned my calls or emails. He did suggest via email that I should send the 2133 to him so he could straighten out the mess. That's a first, and confirmation for me that HP recognizes what a disaster it has brewing.
9. Maybe I didn't know where to find the program, before it blew up I tried to watch movies, .avi and .mpg formats. Neither of which worked. I've finally found a linux movie player on the internet, problem is, I can't access the computer to add it or test it.
10. I've loaded the OS from the dvd three or four times, after loading I get the 'enter password' screen.
11. I like to think I'm a somewhat sophisticated user, I go back to TRS-DOS. Open Office, Firefox, work OK. I've found linux requires far more effort to use than XP. That was before it blew up.
12. The cat loves flopping down anywhere the computer has been resting. It's not quite hot enough to fix flapjacks, but it's close.
13. I stopped by Office Depot today to buy an XP for $99. At checkout I saw the small print, 'this is only an upgrade of a prior Windows OS.' Of course, there is no Windows OS. I saved $100, but don't have a notebook computer to take on a trip Monday.
14. Complete XP is $200. Spending $200 on XP to add to the 2133 is foolish, I can buy the Acer Aspire One for not that much more.
15. I told the tech at HP ... I haven't been fishing in decades, but I'll go just to use the HP as a sinker.
16. I've got an order in for Acer Aspire One, $349 for the 1gig 120hd, XP at MicroCenter. The keys are still kinda small and tight, I don't like Bill Gates, etc., but it can't be the disaster the HP has been.
17. Save your money. You'll thank me.
A good choice September 19, 2008

Una notebook excelente para escribir y navegar. Pantalla nitida y clara, sonido perfecto y un buen rendimiento en general. Mi unica queja es la bateria de 6 celdas que sobresale de la parte de atras, ademas que tarda bastante tiempo en cargar.
This notebook is excellent for writing and surf the web. Nice and clear screen, perfect sound and good performance. The only complain is the 6 cells battery, it comes out from the back and takes so long to charge.
Great piece of Linux hardware, software overhaul required. September 18, 2008

Over the last few days I have had the opportunity to deal with SLED 10.1, SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, which ships with the new, and beautiful, machine that I am typing this post on. The experience was educational, if you haven't already convinced yourself that the pseudo open source nature of Novell's pact with Micro$oft is evil, I encourage you try SLED on for size.
First things first, when I booted the computer, it hung, I rebooted, and was greeted with an operating system that had no repositories, well, maybe that's an exaggeration, it had no "real" repos, not that were SLED specific. In addition to this (outrage) inconvenience, (I'm a Debian man, you can tell,) the microphones and camera didn't work. (What! Didn't these folks think any of this through beforehand?)
Alright, with that out of the way, I can tell you that I love the machine, it's solid and awesome in every way that I can think of, now that I have Xubuntu installed.
Installing another operating system on the Linux variant is a must (it's also a must on the windows machines, but you all know that,) SLED is bad, and Eric Hess has written this sweet tutorial:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133
for the installation of a real operating system onto the 2133, and setting it up to get everything working, (well, there are 2 inconspicuous things that aren't perfect on my machine, but it will get there.)
I don't have an external cdrom drive, nor a Windows machine, and so I followed the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
under the "manual" category, to cook up a bootable sd card, which I stole from my camera.
The rest of the instructions, for setup of audio and wifi, worked wonderfully, and now the machine is a sweet piece of work. It's responsive for my needs as an IT specialist and student, and doesn't get too hot to use on my lap in bed (don't block the vents matey!)
Overall, great job HP, Novell will not be getting any recommendations from me, and I am a happy camper.

This would be ok for traveling to check email or to act as a cache for pictures, but it is a little slow and clunky for anything else. It has a habit of notifying you that it is downloading updates and then shutting down in the middle of what you're doing. Vista business does not come with any of the rudimentary games that come with xp and so you can't play freecell or solitaire while waiting for a connection. This little computer is a bit of a disappointment.
