This model comes pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic operating system.

The Basics

Processor: The VIA C7-M ULV (ultra-low voltage) processor has a 1.2 GHz speed, 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and a 128 KB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
Operating at an average power of less than 1W, the VIA C7-M ULV processor is the embodiment of cool processing and sets the standard for next generation low power mobile and personal electronics systems. It also features VIA PowerSaver technology that further reduces power consumption by dynamically adjusting the frequency and the voltage of the VIA C7-M ULV processor as the system requires. This innovative technology can reduce power consumption by as much as 50 percent while still ensuring seamless mobile operation.
Hard Drive: The 120 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 20,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data — akin to Firewire and USB 2.0. It also includes HP's 3D DriveGuard, which sends a signal to shut down the hard drive upon sudden movement or shock by using a three-axis digital accelerometer chip.
Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (1 x 1024 MB, PC2-5300) offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. This notebook has a maximum capacity of 2 GB of RAM.
DVD/CD Drive: The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC does not include an integrated optical drive, but HP offers optional drives that connect to the Mini-Note using the optional HP External MultiBay II.
Keyboard & Mouse: The spill-resistant keyboard is 92 percent of full size, 101/102-key compatible with isolated inverted-T cursor control keys, both left and right control and alt keys, 12 function keys, and hotkey combinations for audio volume, power conservation, brightness, and other features. It also features HP DuraKeys, which have a clear coating applied over the keyboard to protects the finish and printed letters and characters. The touchpad includes a scroll zone and two soft-touch buttons.

Screen, Video & Audio
The 8.9-inch display has a 1280 x 768-pixel resolution, for native 720p high-resolution clarity, and the Mini-Note includes a VGA output for connecting to an external monitor or projector. Video is powered by the integrated Via Chrome 9 video/graphics card, and it includes an integrated high-definition audio card for crisp sound via the internal 2-watt stereo speakers.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook has an integrated tri-mode Intel 3945ABG wireless LAN (802.11a/b/g), with throughput up to 54 Mbps at 5 GHz (802.11a) and 2.4 GHz (802.11g). It's compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range — great for closed office environments). You also get super-fast wired connectivity via the Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000).

The Mini-Note also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (replacing the PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. And it offers a Secure Digital memory card slot for downloading pictures and videos from your digital camera, or filling up a card for your MP3 player. It includes the following ports:

2 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals — from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 ExpressCard/54 slot (also supports ExpressCard/34)
1 Secure Digital memory card slot
1 headphone/line-out and 1 microphone
1 VGA monitor port
1 RJ-45 for 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity

Customer Reviews

Size does matter! and performance too: Bought for portability, as an independent consultant carrying around my 15.4" Sony notebook has been killing my back. The HP 2133 is light-weighted just fits in my purse, yet the keyboard has a very comfortable size. The sound quality is very good, if only speakers were located somewhere else this would add a couple more inches to the screen, which I'm yet not… More reviews

A steal!: For $299, this HP mini notebook is a steal!
I have compared it to the make of EEE and Acer. This is one solid laptop.
After the initial adjustment and wifi setup, mine is working so great. Of course, if you do not want to go into the technicalities of Linux, I suggest you stick to a Windows XP setup.
Oh yes, and it does get warm,… More reviews

**DO NOT GET THIS notebook...SLOW CPU!!!!!!!!!**: No wonder Amazon lowered the price and it's running on Linux because this netbook came out way before the intel Atom's processor was born. This netbook can't event handle video playback very well. Save your money and get the Acer Aspire One 6 cell or the Samsung nc10 6 cell....you've been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!… More reviews

HP 2133 Support: I purchased this product for purposes of reviewing the product from a forensic perspective. Interesting, thing happened on the way to doing a standard setup. the wireless on the machine did not work, obviously HP thought that they would have no failures because their staff is incapabable of troubleshooting the product over the phone. they barely recognize it is their product. If are not… More reviews

Laptop-alicious: So I purchased one of the HP 2133 about a month ago when my car broke down and I was forced to be riding public transportation. My commute went from 15 min. to 2hrs. I needed to work on my thesis paper and was going to waste too much time sitting on buses. So I immediately started looking at notebook technology. After looking at a lot of PC reviews of different notebooks, the HP 2133 seemed an affordable,… More reviews
