What is it: Budget mini laptop with 8.9-inch screen
What we think: The 2133 is the most attractive and easiest to use of all laptops in its class, but it's appallingly slow

We like:
Gorgeous looks; fantastic keyboard; good connectivity
We don't like:
Slow performance; screen is too reflective to use outdoors
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The 2133 Mini-Note is extremely desirable. It looks fantastic, and the keyboard is the best in its class, but it lets itself down in too many areas. It's too slow, the screen is too reflective to be used outdoors and it's slightly too expensive
