When you go to the landing page for the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC on HP’s site, it lists Windows XP Professional as one of the options under operating systems. I wouldn’t necessarily call this a downgrade as HP does, given that this OS is better suited for a mini notebook (as proven by this video by our friends over at NotebookReview.com).In fact, that’s probably the config I’d buy. Too bad XP isn’t listed as one of the pre-configured Mini-Notes HP is currently selling.
The good news? A pre-configured XP version will be available in mid-May. The bad news? There doesn’t seem to be a set timetable for configuring your own Mini-PC from scratch. We first learned of this tidbit via a chat with an online sales rep, which you can read after the jump. (Note that I had to be passed on from one rep to this one, thus the edits to the thread.)
We also just got official word from HP that mid-May is indeed the availability date. We’re working on gettng specs and pricing for the XP Mini-Note and hope to have an update later today.
