HP 2133 Mini Note

Our pics and first impressions of the hotly anticipated ultra-cheapie, and yes, it's better than the Eee in several ways.

More storage and a bigger screen address the main issues that arose with the original, but the price has risen too.

This impressive ultraportable fills a narrow but significant niche between the MacBook Air and Lenovo X300

We're worried about the damn hot operating temperature, but otherwise we're blown away by this mini notebook.

We've put both mini-notebooks through their paces, and while Linux fans may disagree, the winner is clear.

Powerful and well featured, but the ergonomics and battery life let it down.

Fast, stylish and crammed with features, but you’ll need a fat wallet to afford it

Disappointing ergonomics, but the blend of power and battery life makes it very good value.

A light and well-built business choice, but despite the low-voltage CPU the battery life disappoints

A great set of features and plenty of power, but the price is very high for this ultraportable.

This notebook is the winner of our Light Laptops roundup. It's solid in every area rather than outstanding in one, and very attractively priced.

Gorgeous, expensive and exasperating in equal measure, and yet still desirable despite its myriad faults

A genuine step forward for the laptop, with unbelievable capabilities for the price, plus an ultra-low weight.

Great for executives on the move thanks to size and decent battery life, but the missing optical drive disappoints
