Engadget appears to have gotten their hands on the specs for the new HP UMPC 2133. It’s coming powered with a VIA CM-7 Processor, either 1.2 or 1.6 GHz, a 8.9″ screen, 120 or 160 GB hard drive, and either 1024 or 2048 667 MHz DDR2. The price of the 2133 will range from $549 to $849 (depending on the model), with the $549 version coming equipped with the SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (nice choice!) and the other models with Microsoft Windows Vista. The more expensive models will even have Bluetooth capability.
It looks like HP has designed an UMPC that will offer some stiff competition for the upcoming 9″ Eee PC.

If the specs are correct so is this a VERY heavy 8.9″ laptop. 5.26 pounds = 2.38 kilograms!!
Oy, you’re right…I guess I should have labelled this one “heavy-weight contender”. ;)
[...] the name doesn’t seem pretty creative at all, eh?). To debut later this month for $499, the HP Mini-Note PC is geared for the education market – teachers and students [...]
Have one 6 weeks now , british keyboard (unix users ouch) and Vista business UK. Good graphics screen, 1.2 kg 1.2Ghz 1GB Hot (litterally) silent yes! Nice looking, complete device. Slow struggeling on vista and NO xp downrade with it. Video is not convining either but that may be vista’s problem. Will downgrade for shure: just started consumes 600MB (about 100 procs running in tasks). Browser overloaded with AOL, HP and google stuff. Removed all that. Unnescessary tools for “quick”start, screen adjustment etc all duplicates of what is present in the OS. This mini notebook replaces an old tecra 8100 14 inch with XP. 800 Mhz PIII…….HP spoils their market using Vista.
