Last week HP introduced the HP 2133, a full-function, mini-notebook designed for students with a price tag of US $500. The Mini-Note PC allows students to bring it comfortably from school to home or to any place where they might continue studying. At slightly more than 2½ lbs (1.150 gr), the HP Mini is smaller and lighter than many math or science books. It includes a suite of wireless, multimedia and security capabilities and has the ability to view video, still-image capture, web conferencing or video-enhanced instant messaging with no additional hardware to buy or carry. An optional integrated VGA webcam enables video and still-image capture to allow the addition of photos and video clips to presentations, documents and email. Wireless technologies such as integrated Wi-Fi Certified WLAN and optional Bluetooth, enable students to access the Internet as well as communicate via email, IM, chat, VOIP and blogging.  “HP listened to our needs and now is delivering a product designed by education for education,” said Chris Sieger, director of information technology for Alexandria City Public Schools in Virginia. “Teachers and technology are the two most important assets in education. HP’s announcement demonstrates that it understands what schools need from industry.”
“Education shouldn’t end at the bell,” said Jeri Callaway, vice president and general manager, Personal Systems Group – Americas, HP. “HP believes providing each student with an affordable, creative multimedia tool like the HP Mini will better prepare them to live, learn and work in an information-rich society.”
