Roundup of Linux distributions that play (mostly) well with the HP 2133

The HP Mini 2133 Mini-Note was my second netbook. I picked one up in early 2008, after being drawn in by the attractive case, keyboard, and high resolution 1280 x 768 pixel display. But I quickly found that the VIA C7-M processor and Chrome graphics in the netbook caused a little bit of a speedbump. That's because the model I...

HP Mini 2133 hack: Adding a Broadcom HD video accelerator

Brad Linder — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:22:25 +0000

We already knew that you could add a Broadcom HD video accelerator to a Samsung NC10 netbook to enable 1080p HD video playback on a machine with a low power Intel Atom processor. But what about the HP 2133 Mini-Note? This is a machine that shipped with a low power VIA C7-M CPU which is generally more sluggish than Intel's...

Mugen 7800mAh battery for HP Mini 2140 or 2133

Brad Linder — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 18:08:13 +0000

The HP Mini 2140 gets pretty decent battery life with a 3 or 6 cell battery. With a 3 cell battery, I figured you could get 3 to 3.5 hours of run time. And Laptop Magazine squeezed more than 7 hours out of a 6 cell battery. But if that's not good enough for you, Mugen Power sells a 3rd...

The HP 2133 and HP 2140 walk into a photoshoot…

Brad Linder — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 17:05:34 +0000

The HP Mini 2140 may look an awful lot like the HP 2133 Mini-Note. But it's not quite identical. First, the newer computer replaces the VIA C7-M processor with the zippier Intel Atom N270 and offers an optional 10 inch display. But you already knew that. What you might now have known is that HP moved around a few vents,...

Google Android on the HP 2133 – Video

Brad Linder — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:43:42 +0000

Just a few days after the guys at VentureBeat managed to cram Google Android onto an Asus Eee PC 1000H netbook, NewsAndroids have posted a YouTube video of an HP 2133 Mini-Note running the open source operating system. In the video you can see that the OS is running from a USB flash disk, which means you don't have to...

HP Mini 1000 is sort of cheaper on Amazon

Brad Linder — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:49:59 +0000

Amazon is now carrying some preconfigured HP Mini 1000 netbooks. And while the cheapest model you can order directly from HP sells for $360, the cheapest version I could find on Amazon costs $445. But here's the thing, the $360 computer that ships from HP has an 8.9 inch display, and an 8GB SSD, and lacks Bluetooth. The $445 model...

Netbook prices continue to fall in Taiwan

Brad Linder — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:25:25 +0000

[/caption] In what I hope is becoming a monthly feature here at Liliputing, it looks like netbook makers are slashing prices in Taiwan yet again. While many of you live outside of Taiwan, it's likely that some of these price cuts will be reflected in the global market int he not too distant future. DigiTimes reports that Asus is dropping...
