just posted a review on HP's 2133 Mini-Note subnotebook. Speaking of size,
HP says the Mini-Note measures 10" wide, 6.5" deep, and as little as 1.1" thick
(255 mm x 165 mm x 27 mm).
The Mini-Note definitely rings in on the expensive side of the budget subnotebook spectrum, too. Paying a little extra doesn't bother me, though, because while the Mini-Note may be in the same class as the Eee PC, it delivers so much more. Add it all up: a 92% keyboard that doesn't handicap typing, a WXGA screen that offers 40% more pixels than the Eee PC 900's 8.9" display, an ExpressCard expansion slot for broadband Wi-Fi, the ability to swap in a 2.5" mobile hard drive of your choice, and a simply gorgeous brushed aluminum chassis that feels as solid as it looks. Taken together, these things more than justify the Mini-Note's higher price tag.
HP has built a good budget subnotebook platform here-one that could be significantly improved with a few little tweaks, like a scratch-resistant screen coating that doesn't moonlight as a mirror finish and a processor with enough horsepower to back up the system's networking credentials-a processor like Intel's Atom or VIA's Nano, perhaps. Both are close enough to hitting the market that we'd recommend holding off on a subnotebook purchase to see how things shake out.
