I decided to sell my HP 2133 on eBay, the VIA chipset is just not strong enough. Recently I installed Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One (A110) and I must say, that boot-up time, overall performance and Compiz fluidity outstand the 2133. HP announced that they’re going to build the next-gen Mini-Notes with Intel Chipsets. Good choice, HP.
My new netbook, a Dell Mini 9 (1.6GHz, 16GB SSD HDD, 8.9″, 1024MB RAM) is on its way, should arrive at my desk by Wednesday. Ordering my new gadget wasn’t as easy as you might think, because every time I clicked on “Add to cart”, the Dell webshop came up with a “this article could not be found” error message. I used the following workaround: Every Dell product comes with an E-Value code. I looked up the Mini’s E-Value code, fed the webshop search, and could finally place my order.
What I don’t understand is why Dell charges 30 bucks for delivery. That sucks.
