UMPC and UMPC size devices are becoming more common these days and with the successes of the Asus Eee PC platform lots of manufacturers are coming up with similar products.

HP Compaq announced the Mini-Note range a little while ago and these ultra-small form factor laptops look like being a real winner.

There's a lot crammed in to the 2133, there's a 120GB hard drive, 1GB RAM and an awesome 1280x768 display that has got to be one of the sharpest TFT's I have ever seen!

Below you'll find my brief unboxing video, which will give you a some idea of the size of this neat little device, while Mark prepares the review which should be online in a week or so.

    Would love to hear how you feel it compares to the MSI Wind, which is available as an Advent badged netbook from PC World?

    Seems strange to be asking for a version with the Atom in it when VIA's Nano processor is pin-compatible with the C7 so it would just be a direct drop-in. Far more likely that HP would produce a version with that chip instead.
