New HP 2133 XP Price Leak?
Written by Planet Lowyat on May 9, 2008 – 11:51 pm -
A very nice young lady from the middle east got to chatting with an HP rep today and sent her the following:
| Part Number | CPU | Primary Storage | RAM | WLAN | Camera | OS | Battery | ILP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KR939UT#ABA | 1.2GHz | 120GB 5400 | 1024 1D | abg (B) | yes | VB/XPP OR | 6 cell | $729 |
| KR948UT#ABA | 1.2GHz | 160GB 5400 | 2048 1D | abg (B) | yes | VB/XPP OR | 6 cell | $789 |
| KR954UT#ABA | 1.6GHz | 120GB 5400 | 1024 1D | abg (B) | yes | VB/XPP OR | 6 cell | $749 |
| KR964UT#ABA | 1.6GHz | 160GB 5400 | 2048 1D | abg (B) | yes | VB/XPP OR | 6 cell | $819 |
The rep also said he had not heard about any user configurable options, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. They are however offering XP as an install option.
The notebooks are available with either 1.2GHz or 1.6GHz processors and a choice of 1GB or 2GB of RAM. 120GB or 160GB hard-drives are also options. All will have WiFi a/b/g, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and the 6-cell battery.

HP UMPC 2133 release April 7th?

Finally, this is going to come true!Another challenge for Asus Eee PC.
According to Engadget, HP’s slick UMPC 2133 was going sport VIA processors, and now got some more info to back that up.
What appears to be a full spec list for the upcoming machine, and it’s VIA C7-Ms all around, with graphics courtesy of a VIA Chrome 9 chipset. According to our source, these will hit on April 7th, and it looks like those pricing whispers were pretty accurate as well:
$600 will buy you a 1.2GHz C7-M, a 120GB drive, 1GB of RAM and Vista Home Basic, while $749 bumps you up to 1.6GHz and Vista Business and adds Bluetooth, another gig of RAM, and a bigger battery. There’s also a mysterious $849 Vista Basic model listed as having “regional” availability (the others are listed as “Smart Buy”) with Bluetooth and bigger battery, but we don’t see why it’s more expensive than the Vista Business version. Regardless, what really caught our eye was the $549 model that shares the same specs as the $600 unit, but looks to be running SuSE Enterprise — another rumor that’s come true. That could be the one that HP expects to sell like hotcakes — after all, the goal is to have people buy these “without a thought,” and that’s certainly not going to happen at $749. We’ll see soon enough, we suppose.
Full spec sheet after the break.
