But, could it be an Eee PC killer? I bet it is since it has HP logo on its lid--I'm not telling you that HP is better than Asus, you know what I mean--and it will sell through brick-and-mortar store everywhere, unlike Eee PC which is not that ubiquitous.</p>

<p>Okay first important thing first, spec and price comparing to Eee PC 700 series:-</p>

<p>As you see, HP 2133 looks much more professional, has a lot more variety configurations than Eee PC and there are a lot of advantages over Eee PC but a few things that are worse than Eee PC is just a vital factor--weight & price. I mean for $499 you almost get nothing in HP 2133 perspective but you could get 8GB model and still 2.0lbs sub-notebook with Eee PC. For the top one, that's $749--I think it's not only a bit too steep; that price you could get ThinkPad T61 if you don't mind portability or add about $150 more to get Thinkpad X61 which is about the same weight or lower as well and surely better in any terms.</p>
|

<p>Also, there are a lot of folks crying of HP choosing VIA C7-M over newcomer Intel Atom or VIA Isaiah. IMHO, HP 2133 boot time with Vista Business, which is about 1:20min -- according to a clip @notebookreview.com, is not that bad. It might not as great as Eee PC did, but considering Vista boot time is slow as default. I think this trading off with 4-hour-battery life is more than satisfied since I have a full shutdown few times a month anyway. Sleep & hibernate will come to take that role instead, just wait and see how good VIA chipset is about power consumption at a deep sleep state.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In brief, I don't know yet if this is a real good deal. I got to see in person first; I hope it will hit brick 'n mortar store around soon, then we will know. Timing might be a vital factor here since if Eee PC is around in the store first, it will be a tough job for HP indeed.</p>
