HP 2133 Mini-Note PC with XP Pro Coming in Mid-May

Hewlett-Packard’s new HP 2133 Mini-Note PC with Windows XP Professional operating system preinstalled will be available in mid-May, Laptop Magazine reports.

The 2133 Mini-Note low-cost ultraportable is currently offered with Windows Vista Business, Vista Home Basic, or SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 OS.

It is claimed that Windows XP is better suited for a mini-notebook than Windows Vista, which requires better hardware specifications than Microsoft’s older operating system.
