The HP 2133 mini-notebook PC announced last February this year is now out and on sale. Units went out this week in HP retail stores. See final specs and unit prices after the jump.
At 8.9 inches, the display is one you’d expect from an HP laptop — bright and crispy. The model runs on a Via C7-M 1.2GHz processor with standard 2GB of RAM and 120GB of HDD (it has HP 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).
There’s WiFi but no Bluetooth (optional), a built-in webcam and comes with a standard 3-cell battery (optional 6-cell available). The laptop is a little thicker than the Asus Eee PC and weighs about 1.2kgs (the Eee PC 900 weighs about 0.98 kg).
Operating system is Windows Vista Home Basic. No indication of a Linux version as earlier reported. The HP 2133 mini-notebook is selling for Php29,990 (they got 0% deferred payment for 6 months).
is it already available at local stores? how about the unit running the linux os?
One of the HP stores in Mall of Asia (Accent Micro). They say all HP retailers will have this unit. They only sell the Windows Vista version but you can reformat and install your own OS.
Is it biodegradable to Win XP?
Sorry.. Is it DOWNGRADABLE to Win XP?
of course it is downgradable. but not with the help of HP. and you’ll loose the recovery PARTITION (not recovery DVD, since there are no recovery DVD creator provided) in the hard disk. from what I heard, HP will release an XP version maybe on June.
how much will it cost at the local stores?

I just bought one last night from silicon valley at SM cyberzone, for P29,950. Absolutely better than asus eepc. Great look (brushed silver), larger screen and huge memory! imagine 120GB HDD, 2GB Memory! Not to mention that this is HP…

MSI Wind or HP 2133?! Heeeelp!
i just have a question: which is better? the msi wind or the hp 2133?
if it isn’t Intel i aint taking it. period.
via sucks. Atom is much cooler. hyperthreaded 1.6Ghz procie… 2133 @ 1.2Ghz it’s like running a rusty 800MhZ Pentium III overclocked. HP shame on you guys. when time comes and you actually realized you should’ve integrated an Atom N330, i’ll have to reconsider my options. as for the moment, this netbook sucks period.
worst laptop ever .. i got one … the touch pad is worst ever… ang dali pa uminit … may issue pa sa video playing.. ang baba ng frame….bagal as in
the best pa rin ang msi wind!!!!!!!! napalitan ko na yun bugok na hp na yan!!!! binalik ko sa may shop yun hp 2133 dahil wala pang isang linggo super hang siya (4x a day) yun nag dagdag ako ng 1049 pesos napapalit ko ng wind notebook, so far mas maayos at mas maganda tong wind.

@nagcc Install VLC Player, it should do the trick for video playback.
Question: Anyone who had seen a 6-cell battery for the HP Mini 2133? The 3-cell battery that comes with my unit is just not enough for my mobile computing needs. Saw at eBay that there are even compatible battery packs for the HP Mini 2133, but are they available locally? I asked HP already, but the battery + shipping will cost me around PHP15K — enough to buy another UMPC.
