HP has officially launched their UMPC offering, the 2133 Mini-Note PC. Overall the Mini-Note seems to be a solid offering that should offer some competition to the lately crowded UMPC market, however HP is offering the 2133 with a push towards the education market.

The Mini-Note PC will feature an 8.9-inch display with a 1280 x 768 resolution and will have a few options for configuration depending on your needs. The Mini-Note PC is powered by your choice of a 1.0GHz, 1.2GHz or 1.6GHz Via C7-M processor with RAM ranging from 512MB on the low-end to 2GB on the high-end. Storage options include a 4GB SSD, 120GB 7,200RPM hard drive or a 160GB 5,400 RPM hard drive. And just like the power and performance options the Mini-Note PC also offers a few options for an operating system which include Windows Vista Home, Windows Vista Business or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.

Even with configuration options aside, the ultra-portable will include HP DuraKeys which offers protection for the keyboard, HP 3D DriveGuard which helps to protect against sudden movements or being dropped, a scratch-resistant display and an anodized aluminum shell.

The Mini-Note PC will be available later this month and will be priced from $499 and up depending on configuration.
