The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC features an integrated 802.11a/b/g wireless networking module, as well as a Gigabit Ethernet port. The slower speed of the processor and the reduced storage capacity of the notebook may have contributed to the marginal battery-life edge over the FH441PA, but it probably isn't worth the sacrifice in performance our tests revealed. The three-cell battery has a rating of 2700mAh (milliamp hours) and in our worst case scenario battery test the unit lasted 1hr 32mins - 20mins more than the FH441PA's results - when we looped a video and disabled the power management options. When connected to a power source the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC was great for watching movies with its 1280x768 screen resolution, although when the battery was low some stuttering was evident. It doesn't get warmer than a mug of hot coffee and it isn't uncomfortable, and many users will rest this notebook on a desk while in use anyway.
It's worth mentioning that this device does get quite warm underneath at the touchpad end of the notebook. Screen adjustments were a simple function key away. The stereo speakers located on either side of the screen produced crisp audio, while the colours and contrast on the 8.9in screen are clear and vivid it was easy to use whether in an office environment, dim train lighting or bright sunlight. Although WorldBench's multitasking test revealed a score of 3045sec (most Core 2 Duo notebooks do this in about 500sec), in our real-world tests the notebook easily handled surfing the Web while playing music files and working on documents, which is what it is designed to do.

The system comes with the 32-bit version of Windows Vista Business installed. The Adobe Photoshop test took 3402sec to finish, almost twice as long as the (FH441PA), but it did still run and complete the test, despite the fact you wouldn't be running a processor-intensive graphics application on this notebook. The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC (FH441PA) scored 29 - still slow, but better than this unit's result. In our WorldBench 6 benchmark suite tests, which runs Photoshop, Microsoft Office, Firefox, Windows Media Encoder and WinZip and also tests multitasking, the reduced specifications revealed a slow performance score of only 18. Overall, while the difference in specifications between the two Mini-Notes may not sound like a lot, on a system of this size running Windows Vista you may still see a performance hit. The hard drive is still significantly larger than the Asus EeePC 900's 12GB. It's important to note that 256MB of the 1GB DDR2 RAM is dedicated to the integrated graphics. The system has 1GB of RAM (down from 2GB) and the 5400rpm notebook hard drive's capacity is 120GB (down from 160GB). As with the FH441PA, this notebook uses VIA's C7-M 1.2GHz CPU and a VIA chipset with VIA Chrome 9 integrated graphics - note the processor speed is down from the 1.6GHz of the FH441PA version.
Under the hood, HP has reduced the specifications of some components to bring this notebook's price down to $899 this was reflected in its performance in our tests. Touchpad designs always take time to get used to, although some users will plug a mouse into the USB slot.
The touchpad is centrally located below the keyboard, with left and right click button located on either side and an on/off button above to lock any movement. It's certainly close enough to a full-sized keyboard to make getting up to speed when typing a breeze. Many of the features across the two HP 2133 Mini-Note PC ultraportable devices are the same, such as the large keyboard, which HP describes as 92 per cent full-sized.
