It would be a great “second laptop” if you’re one of those who spend their day glancing at emails in various meeting rooms. Other than that, it’s a great machine to check emails from time to time and carry around when roaming from a meeting to another. Because of its size and because the screen does not tilt far enough back, I had to take a pose that was not comfortable. The screen is small and its very high resolution (while great technically) could pose a challenge after an hour or so, even for users with a good sight. The keyboard is great, but the tiny arrow keys take time to get used to, and even then, they are nowhere near a normal size, so there’s some productivity loss. While testing it, ergonomics quickly became an issue: I rapidly felt uncomfortable working on such a small machine. Still, it worked well enough to get the job done.

Video conferencing via Skype worked fairly well, but the voice was a little digitized (robotic-like) and the video resolution on both ends was reduced by half at some point. It was a breeze to edit text and send emails. As long as the site does not have *fullscreen* streaming video (the graphics can’t keep up), the experience is not really different from a larger laptop because the internet is the limiting factor. For these applications, it works quite well. This is not a very fast machine, so we used it as one would use a nettop: by working with web services like Google docs, webmail and IM (Skype 4.0 Beta).

It has 2GB of RAM, a 1.6Ghz processor (Via C7), Windows Vista 32 Business Edition, a bigger 6–cell batteryand a 120GB hard disk. There are two HP Mini Note 2133 versions, and we tested the beefier one. So what do you get for the price ($550) and what can you do with it? Is this the sub-laptop that you were waiting for? Not everyone has the same needs, but from our review, you should be able to imagine if this computer will be a good fit, or not. The laptop body is as impeccable and it’s also true for the 1280×768 display, which shows sharp text on a glossy finish. The keyboard finish is exceptional – I wish that they made desktop keyboards with the same “touch” and finish (I’m not 100% sure that keys are made of metal, but they do feel like it). The keyboard keys are about as large as those found on a “normal” laptop keyboard, although their spacing is tighter. The HP Mininote 2133 is the nettop that has the best construction quality among those that we tried.
