No unboxing to film and nothing else but real pleasure with my new HP Mininote 2133. The unit came with 2G, 1.6Ghz, Vista on a 120G hard drive. I couldn't stomach Vista and had an OEM of XP Pro SP2 in the "ondeck" circle so I ordered the 320G version of the same drive by western Digital and swapped it in for the original HD and installed XP Pro SP2 and HP drivers last night. Glad I went this way cause HP was still having problems furnishing the "downgrade" or is it "upgrade" OS to XP... Now I've got a registered and activated XP Pro on the Mini. Now to get to work installing SP3 followed by a dual boot to Unbuntu Linux 8.04.

Good things do come in small packages...
