I have to admit – I’ve been paying a bit more attention to CompUSA deals these days. The current interesting item of the day – the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC for $399.99. This is the low end model of course with specs such as:

• VIA C7-M processor running at 1GHz
• 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi
• 512MB RAM
• 4GB flash memory
• 8.9 inch WXGA display
• Built-in webcam
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 OS

Yes, at $399, you could easily get an Atom powered netbook with more memory and hard drive space. Yet.. you won’t get that awesome Mini-Note keyboard (though this is offset by the crummy mouse buttons). Sigh.. can’t seem to win can we..
