The HP Mini-Note PC is making it’s way out into the presses and getting reviewed, this is what some of the big name websites have to say about it:

NotebookReview.com

“……the HP 2133 Mini-Note is one of the most impressive subnotebooks we’ve ever seen……despite the poor processor performance, the HP 2133 Mini-Note is a remarkably solid machine that could be a perfect fit for students, teachers, or mobile business professionals…..”

PCMag.com

“……although the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC is not quite the ASUS Eee PC killer, it’s still a force to be reckoned with in the ultra-mobile space……..this device’s most compelling aspect, however, is that you can actually go out and buy it for about $500. Until now, that was a price point only ASUS could pull off….”

LaptopMag.com

“…..to our surprise, our little system ran Microsoft Vista without a hiccup……even the 8.9-inch display, with a praise-the-Lord 1280 x 768-pixel resolution, features a glossy coating similar to premium HP screens. However, the Mini-Note has a small touchpad flanked by vertically oriented touch buttons, which is awkward….”

You can now walk into your local Best Buy and snatch one of those coveted Eee PCs, the only catch is that you will be getting XP no matter what (even though they show it running Xandros on their website). White and Black are the only colors available and $399 is the price to take one of these puppies home.

You can still buy the Eee PC with Linux and different colors at Amazon

The screen is 1024 X 600 and it’s got basically the same features as it’s little brother, the 7 inch Eee PC. It looks like you will have a choice between Linux and Windows XP version when it comes out later this year.

Dynamism has just released Asus Eee PC 8G for sale. It will be available in both black and white, with 1Gb ram, mid-to late December at $499.

But I think the 4G Eee PC is a better deal since the $499 price tag is very close if not the same price as low end Windows computers
