HP 2133 mini on the way!!

Ordered a new HP 2133 mini from thinkgeek.com! Right size, right configuration, right price!!!

I have wanted a UMPC forever now but the price point has been high compared to just getting an inexpensive laptop. I've been waiting for a small portable device with a full OS, not just an icon interface and it is finally out... Been watching the hp mini-note 2133 for a while now and love the small form factor and (almost) full keyboard. My bro may get the EEE 900 so maybe we'll have a head-to-head comparo soon. :>

Spent a couple hours reading the reviews so I won't repeat it all here. I'll link a couple of the big ones below. Only thing missing is a CD/DVD drive but I can't remember the last time I put a disk in my current laptop so that wasn't a big deal breaker. Plus I'm running on a 30GB HD right now and the 2133 is coming with a 120GB!! I can finally have one main HD and just set some scripts up to run rsync to the external USB drive for backup. Immediate add-ons will be external USB CD/DVD drive and 6-cell battery.

Follow the link to see full config. High points are:
  1. SLED 10 OS
  2. 120GB HD, 1GB RAM
  3. 1280X768 on 8.9in screen
  4. 92% full size keyboard
  5. integrated web cam and speakers
  6. Did I mention Linux OS!?!?!? ;>
Review Links I used, as promised:
Unboxing to follow...
