HP UMPC 2133: Now that’s an ultraportable!

Listen to article

There’s some leaked images and numbers on a supposedly new UMPC from HP. The HP Compaq 2133 is small, lightweight and carries a Linux flavor. I say it’s a sweet cross between a MacBook Air and an Asus Eee PC.

Pictures taken from Engadget:

Since it has a smaller form factor, the display size is 8.9-inch (1366×766 WXGA). It weighs only 1.13kg (around 2.5lbs) compared to the MacBook Air which is 3lbs and the Asus Eee PC which is 2lbs.

It carries an ExpressCard slot for a 3G modem, Wireless LAN, a built-in webcam, standard LAN ports and an option for SSD drive. It comes with Linux pre-installed or you can also have Windows Vista. Not bad at all. There’s no pricing mentioned or even processor speeds but if HP can slap it with an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz or higher, I’m sold.

Please let this be close to the Eee’s price. I swear I’ll ditch my Eee for this.

Haha, yeah, Crysis on Eee and Linux!

Yep, GNU/Linux is gaining grounds in the Desktop arena, Microsoft will be hurt this year because of GNU/Linux coming to desktops and laptops, with (X/K)Ubuntu leading the way.

That’s a huge plus to the FLOSS Community.
At least we finally hit the giant ;)

Seems the market is headed this way, combining light weight laptops, linux, and good specs. Now if only they can design a high end video card to fit in one of these. Crysis on eeePC anyone?

Any idea as to what flavor of Linux is pre-installed?

I would be thrilled if it has the Ubuntu Gutsy with Compiz Fusion enabled.

Hmm… if this will be priced closer to Eee, then I can say it already “worth the wait”.
