Initial reviews have been positive, complimenting the computer's keyboard and aesthetics as particular selling points in comparison to its market rivals, and the improved battery life and performance, and reduced price, as particularly important improvements over its antecedent, the HP 2133. However reviewers noted that the diminutive 1.8-inch hard drive, normally used in digital audio players, performed slightly slower than the 2.5-inch drives in competitors, and criticized the decision to charge separately for a VGA adaptor.
