 HP has just launched a new mini notebook
targeted at business professionals and youths with a mobile lifestyle. The
notebook, called the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC is also known as the HP Mini and it is
available at a starting price of RM 2, 299. This venture marks the first time
HP has produced a product in the mini notebook category.
The HP Mini measures just a tiny 27 x 255 x
165 mm. Only slightly bigger than the size of a paperback novel and weighing 1.9
kg, it has an 8.9 inch scratch-resistant WXGA screen and comes with an optional
integrated VGA WebCam for video capture. The Mini also has WiFi and 64 GB solid-state
drive (SSD).
Compared to other ultraportables, the HP
Mini has one of the largest screens and RAMs (up to 2 GB). The Malaysian
version operates on either Windows Vista Home Basic or Business. It has a VIA
C7 processor of 1 to 1.6 GHz. HP did not deny that HP Minis operating on SUSE Linux
might be introduced in future specially for the corporate market. HP offers two
battery solutions; 3-cell for reduced weight and 6-cell which can last up to 4
hours.
