HP’s Mini Notebook

A lot of folks were disappointed that the MacBook Air from Apple was only thin and not small in its other dimensions, because there’s a need for a small computer with a full-size keyboard. The HP 2133 Mini-Note might be just the thing to meet that need. It weighs in at 1.19 kilograms (2.63 pounds), has an adequate 9-inch display and sports a keyboard that’s 92% full size. And you can pick one up for somewhere between $500 and $900.

Introduced for the “education market,” the Mini-Note would seem to merit a much wider market: when it comes to carrying around a computer, who really wants to lug all that weight in a special bag when this puppy would snug right into the briefcase with room to spare?

It could use a better battery life and it ain’t lovely — let’s face it, Apple has the loveliness thing sewn up — but it’s light and not much bigger than a book — and only one thumb is involved in using it, which leaves one to raise in a thumb up.
