Just replying off my hp 2133. It is an excellent machine, especially the keyboard and screen. The keyboard is very easy to type on compared with the eee. Screen is good but at times th extra resolution makes text to small. The chassis is probably the most robust out of all the netbooks. However the major downside is the battery life. On the 3 cell batter I get about 2.5 hours. The processor at times can be a little underpowered but it depends what u want to do, is fine for general browsing and writing documents / code. <br>
<br>Linux wise, I run Mandriva 2009 with no problems, stock install from usb cdrom. Running KDE4 makes the machine very usable. Had no problems with wifi either. The harddrive also give a lot of space compared with the eee, so I can have my music and films with me.<br>
