Update on Windows XP on the HP 2133 Mini-note

Two_mini_in_the_sbuxIt’s been a hectic week at Mobile Tech Manor and I just realized today I have not given any recent updates on how well the HP 2133 Mini-Note is working for me.  You may recall I downgraded upgraded from Vista Business to XP Pro a while back and have been using it with XP since then.  I am happy to report the Mini-Note is a veritable tiger running XP, sure it won’t set any speed records but it multi-tasks and performs like a champ.  The Via C7 processor it uses won’t make any skid marks on the pavement but with XP it is more than adequate for just about everything I need to do.  I wouldn’t do any video or audio encoding on it as that would take too long on such an anemic processor but it handles everything else I want to do.  I am still impressed with the nice keyboard on the Mini-Note and find it very comfortable to type for a long time on it. 

I would so love for HP to update the 2133 with a Via Nano, that would be absolutely dynamite.  Maybe they’ll say something at their big press event in Berlin next week.  I was invited to attend that event on HP’s dime but my schedule just wouldn’t permit so I’ll be looking for news to come out of the event with hope.  I don’t think they will announce anything about the Mini-Note this soon, though, after all it’s just been out for a short while.  I attended a meeting with HP last week and I think I am aware of everything they will announce next week and I’ll share that with you when the embargo lifts.  There is some pretty cool stuff coming from the folks at HP, I can tell you that.
