HP unveils HP 2140 Mini-Note

Brad Linder — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:35:28 +0000

HP has announced the sucessor to the HP 2133 Mini-Note. What, you thought they'd already done that? Nope, the HP Mini 1000 is something completely different. The new HP 2140 Mini-Note looks exactly like the original HP netbook, with a sleek aluminum case and excellent keyboard (and not so excellent touchpad). But looks can be deceiving. This puppy has a...

OS X on the HP Mini 1000 and the HP 2133 Mini-Note

Brad Linder — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:22:44 +0000

When Boing Boing released a Hackintosh Mini compatibility chart a few weeks ago I was surprised to see that the HP 2133 Mini-Note was listed as a netbook capable of running the Mac operating system. After all, Macs have Intel processors, while the HP 2133 uses a VIA CPU. It turns out that's not a deal-breaker. The OQO handheld PC...

Netbook prices continue to fall in Taiwan

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

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 prices...

Windows 7 on the HP 2133 Mini-Note

Brad Linder — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 13:45:35 +0000

Windows 7 won't be officially released to consumers until 2009 or 2010, but with early developer builds making the rounds, we've seen that the operating system already runs pretty well on low powered computers like the Asus Eee PC 1000H and the MSI Wind. But those are netbooks with the Intel Atom CPU. How does Windows 7 perform on a...

HP 2133 Mini-Note: I’m not dead yet!

Brad Linder — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:22:57 +0000

The death of the HP 2133 Mini-Note may have been been greatly exaggerated. While HP did indeed roll out a new netbook this week, Xavier at Notebooks.com says he's spoken with people at HP who say the origianl HP 2133 netbook is not yet at its end of life, and in fact updates may still be on the way. While...

HP Mini 1000 netbook now available for $399 and up

Brad Linder — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:50:59 +0000

After a false start over the weekend, HP has finally gotten around to officially launching the HP Mini 1000. This machine is the second netbook from HP. It replaces the HP Mini 2133 Mini-Note, and in some respects the HP Mini 1000 is certainly an upgrade. In others, not so much. While the new model has a faster CPU, it...

HP spills the beans on the HP Mini 1000 netbook

Brad Linder — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 22:27:37 +0000

The HP Shopping homepage has an image of what appears to be the sequel to the HP 2133 Mini-Note. But if you click on the picture of the netbook, which appears to be called the HP Mini 1000, you get nothing. The folks at HP 2133 Guide make an educated guess that the page was supposed to go live...

HP 2133 Mini-Note now just $299

Brad Linder — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 17:36:42 +0000

Amazon is offering the third price cut on the base model HP 2133 Mini-Note laptop in less than a week. On Monday when I wrote up a list of 13 netbooks for $399 or less, the cheapest HP Mini-Note available was going for $379.99. A few days later the price went down to 329.99. Now you can pick one up...

HP starts sneaking lower res displays into Mini-Notes

Brad Linder — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 20:13:06 +0000

It appears that HP has been quietly releasing netbooks with 1024 x 600 pixel displays. That wouldn't be so surprising (that's the resolution pretty much everybody uses) if it weren't for the fact that most HP Mini-Notes have higher resolution 1280 x 768 pixel screens. Now, I'll be the first to admit that the high resolution screen may be overkill...

Is HP giving up on VIA?

Brad Linder — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 13:10:17 +0000

That Vivienne Tam designer edition HP Mini-Note that was spotted last month is apparently real. And it's coming soon. HP plans to release this netbook in December. But that's not the interesting part. HP is working on a next generation Mini-Note computer. And while it's not clear if this will be the first model in that line to hit the...

HP to launch netbook with 10-inch screen this year

Brad Linder — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:45:09 +0000

The Wall Street Journal reports that HP will release a netbook with a 10 inch screen this year. Since all of HP's current netbooks have 8.9 inch screens, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this is the next-generation HP Mini-Note we've all been waiting for. But until HP updates its product line, now is as good...

HP 2133 Mini-Note prices continue to drop

Brad Linder — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 20:43:45 +0000

It looks like HP 2133 Mini-Note prices are on their way down. A few weeks ago Amazon began offering rebates that will let you pick up a low end Mini-Note for as little as $403.49. Now CompUSA is selling the bottom-of-the-line HP Mini-Note for $399.99. No rebates necessary. And Amazon has dropped the price of the same model to $369.94....

HP Mini-Note bargains: Cleaning house to prep for new models?

Brad Linder — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:24:25 +0000

It's either a great time or a horrible time to pick up an HP Mini-Note. Amid speculation that HP could launch an updated model sporting a shiny new VIA Nano CPU by the end of the year, Amazon is offering rebates for up to $100 off selected Mini-Note models. All of the models below have 8.9 inch, 1280 x 768...

HP dresses up the Mini-Note, offers glimpse of future?

Brad Linder — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:23:19 +0000

HP showed off a new designer edition of the HP Mini-Note netbook last night at a New York City Fashion Week event. The netbook is called the HP Digital Clutch and it's inspired by designer Vivienne Tam's designs. Under the fancy exterior it sure looks a lot like the HP Mini-Note. But Laptop Magazine's Joanna Stern spotted something interesting: It...
