Our test laboratory is visiting a small jewel of Hewlett-Packard, Netbook HP Mini-Note PC. The first thing that grabs our attention is the incredible design – a style and beauty, so absent of netbooks for Asus, Acer, MSI and others known and unknown Asian manufacturers. Not that HP 2133 is manufactured in Asian factories, but were obviously put a lot of money for design and construction, as could only afford a company like HP. The hull is aluminum and it is not a thin plastic coating on – particularly on the basis of the HP 2133 was used rather aluminum material in contact creates the impression of solidity and a pleasant hladnina rugged metal housing. Upper surface of the netbook is also coated with aluminum as the metal is polished to a shine, but has the characteristic bands of raw material. Very stylish looks cut in the metal of the HP logo on the upper hull. The color of the HP 2133 is not trivial silver-gray, but with warmer hues. Opening the laptop, our attention was immediately drawn to the keyboard with large buttons, to bring all functional buttons. Working with the keyboard even more comfortable to work with complete laptop – so interesting how a small area is set so comfortable keyboard.
