While other notebooks in this category look and feel like they should be sold at Toys R Us, the 2133 comes across as a serious business computer at a price that’s unbelievable.’ - http://www.notebooks.com
That comment pretty much sums it up for me. This thing is rock solid, feels like a mini macbook pro in your hands.
HP 2133 has aluminium shell and as it has been said before, it feels like a mini Macbook Pro. It’s 8.9” LCD also runs at 1280x768, whereas Eee PC 1000(H) has 10” LCD but at lower resolution (1024x600). Build quality wise I think it is a superior machine, but VIA C7 and Vista are let down I think. Would be better with Ubuntu but then you can’t stop feeling being ripped off by paying the Microsoft tax.
I am bummed out. I need a new laptop, and I was waiting with baited breath for htis deal to come out this morning…. Didn;t think the price was that cheap though and processor is slow, and memory small… so I am giving it a miss too. I was looking for the massive bonus too… I think it’s the notebook mouse….. Hmmmm…
Probably not in the case of CotD because their promotion email sent out at mid night is usually very vague. Moreover, our bot tries to fetch the image from their site within 5 minutes of posting and it is likely to fetch the wrong image (of current deal)…
We do welcome people to post deals that are already shown in catalogues but the sale has not yet started. Just that in the case of CotD their promotion email is usually not very clear what exactly are they selling on the next day.
thanratt, don’t think people here like preview deals (without price) that much. I’ve learnt my lesson from http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/5248
Yes Pauly, I have noticed. It seems this site has lots of strange protocols that you must adhere to - bit odd I think considering you are only trying to help people save money. I must say it does seem hard to impress anyone here. Personally, I’m grateful to anyone taking the time to post a deal which will alert me to the fact that I could save money. Doing on an analysis on the product offered, whilst helpful, seems to result in much negativity - an aspect of the site I really dislike, but certainly a common theme with some on here.
Not sure if it’s just me, but I certainly sense a degree of hostility here and I have been thinking over the past 2 days that perhaps that’s why the posted bargains seem pretty thin on the ground of late. When I do come across a ‘bargain’ I will no longer rush to post it here - very wary.
PS - I’ve probably posted this comment in the wrong place!
Scotty… Couldn’t there be a section under the forum or something for “upcoming deals” to keep everyone happy?
I mean getting info about upcoming deals can be good if you are about to buy something but then find out that a great deal is possibly on its way. There’s no harm in too much info….
Just a thought anyway!
OK i was about to buy this becuase it looks better than my msi wind, however when i saw the video reviews about the super reflective screen, it changed my mind. The guy was sitting under a tree in the shade, and all he could see was a relection of himself on the screen LOL. Aparently it’s very hard to see the screen out in the open world :(
also it’s a 1.6ghz via not 1.6ghz atom like my wind ^^
i got my white wind for $580 so i’m very happy

Normally they send a youtube clip of upcoming “massive” deals… None for todays deal?
