I have not get my own laptop yet. While I am thinking of a MacBook, some cheaper mobile PC come into the market. Recently these cheaper so called “poor man” laptop is getting hotter in Europe market. It has the laptop features and mobility with smaller size.

Asus Eee PC is already in the market for months, but HP Mini-Note PC is still new and now getting in to its market to compete. I list down the specifications of these mini PC for comparison.

Asus Eee 4G	HP Mini-Note
7″ inch LCD	8.9″ inch LCD
Intel Celeron 800Mhz	VIA C7-M ULV Processor (1.60GHz)
Linux	Microsoft Windows Vista Business
512MB RAM	2GB DDR2-667 RAM
4GB SSD	Hitachi 160GB SATA
10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN 54g Wi-Fi (802.11b/g)	Integrated Gigabit Ethernet LAN Broadcom 802.11a/b/g WLAN & Bluetooth 2.0
Hi-Definition audio	Integrated SoundMAX Digital HD Audio
0.92KG	1.19KG
USD$400	< USD$1000
7″ inch screen	8.9-inch LCD

My two cents

After the comparison, I found HP Mini-Note 2133 is more suitable for a blogger like me. Although it is more expensive, it works more like a normal laptop. Doesn’t mean Asus Eee 4G is not good. I would say it is more suitable for traveller with its 4GB SSD hard drive and 0.92Kg weight. The hard drive size is definitely not enough for me, unless I do not install any software inside.

How about you? Which model is more suitable for you?
