HP 2133 nice machine crippled by a pathetic processor!!!!

[mininoteuser]

Hopefully It'll get a new processor soon, theirs a new via coming out that looks quite good not sure if they'll use it tho.

I thought this comparsion also no sense....due to HP 2133 use Novell Suse linux and Eee PC's linux was based on some kernel version and develop it by Asus..

I mean the Linux's component installed on two PC is quite difference....can you compare at least apple to apple?

[mininoteuser]

Well this is supposed to be a comparison of the default Linux distros, it wouldn't be default if I modified them... I'm thinking of doing a boot test with ubuntu on both machines quite soon.

Does the HP have a solid state drive, or a spinning hard drive?

From what I've seen, SSDs are faster than HDDs.

[mininoteuser]

This was the hdd version, silly of me not to mention that.

[Robobbly]

you can change asus mini pcs inverment (if you have got the update) by clicking settings personlise then profeshnal mode i think!

Very good idea. :)

The distribution the Eee uses is based on Xandros, and yes, it is (heavily) *modified* by Asus. And the comparison is full of sense, since most end-users don't care what distribution their laptop is running, they just want it to start faster.
