The HP2133 remains one of the best designed netbooks available. Its keyboard is nearly full size and also has one of the most comfortable layouts. The 2133 also comes with one of the highest resolution screens in the netbook market as well as being made available with both dedicated graphics and a high speed internal hard drive. Unfortunately the HP2133 was handicapped by poor processor selection and a high price. The high price could have been overlooked as a result of the aluminum construction and other high end specifications but the overall netbook performed poorly due to the processor.
