Summary: Working with Linux 10.0
Comment: I have been working with Windows every since I have used computer. So, since I've started using Linux, I have had to learn by trial and error. True. It is more secure that Windows. But, to this point Windows is more user friendly.

Summary: Buy this machine
Comment: Most of the reviews written here were accurate, but it shouldn't stop you from buying this computer.
Bottom line: computer good, operation system not
The computer itself is quite good. Display is very clear (if a bit small), and the sound is high quality as well. However, this thing does produce quite a bit of heat but it's not really a problem if you leave it on a table or it's winter time. The main reason I bought this computer as opposed to the others (Asus, Acer, etc) was that it looked like it was built with more quality and not made as a children's toy. Also, the final selling point is that the keyboard is almost full size. The other computers I kept hitting my thumb on the mouse pad and skipping wildly to another section of the document. The HP 2133 has a button to turn off the mousepad for typing, which is quite convienent.
Windows Vista is a chore. It is constantly updating itself, switching resolution modes when relogging in, mouse locks up. The most disturbing thing is that it goes into this black screen during start up in which you can't tell if it's dead or alive. Then, thankfully it comes back to life after a minute or so.
I've been seriously considering installing XP. But it would mean a bunch of work, finding disk, perhaps some illegal activity etc. And I'm not nerdish enough to consider this fun. Plus you have to go find all of the drivers again to make things work. The other thing is that HP doesn't give you the install disk for Windows Vista, so if you ever change your mind, you have to rely on your own back (which by the way, didn't work for me. My back up almost worked, but then Windows vista stopped recongizing my external hard disk and would seriously crash every time I plugged it in).
So for now I live with pain. Which may be ok, considering all I really wanted to do is browse the internet from my couch and talk on Skype (which, by the way works fine. The sound is very clear, but you may need an external microphone since this one is a bit weak. Webcam works well too).
By the way, the 6 cell battery is quite big and will make it hard to fit into a case/sleeve/old sock that you might want to use to protect the computer.

Summary: HARD DRIVE SHORT
Comment: I thought I was getting a 120gb harddrive but I only show 111.79gb. 102gb on drive "c" and 9gb on drive "d"

Summary: It looks great!!!
Comment: Over all, it looks great. The problem is, I am not familiar with Linux and I am totally lost. It is working good, but I have not used it at all for documents bec. I am worried that it might not be compatible with my vista (laptop). I am just using it to surf the internet.
My 13 year old nephew, told me, after I bought it, that it is not a very good operating system...It is good, but how I wish I just bought one with windows (which I am more familiar).
