HP 2133 Mini-Note Vista Business edition

Even All in all, the HP's Mini Note 2133 is a crushing disappointment. It's not that it's not attractive or robustly built, it is certainly both of those things, and we have no complaint with the fantastically spacious keyboard or crisp display - okay, apart from that glossy finish - but both the Linux and Vista versions are in desperate need of a performance boost.

Put an Intel Atom under the hood for the same price, and you could add a couple of marks to the 2133's overall score, but for now, the Mini-Note has the looks and handling of a thoroughbred, but lacks the performance to match.
