It has little to do with the specs -- the drop in screen resolution from the 2133 is a little disappointing, plus we would've liked to at least see what one of these netbooks could do with a VIA Nano under the hood -- and everything to do with the fit and finish HP is bringing to this pricepoint ($399), in both hardware and software."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1227054487.usr10.jpg" border="1" /></p><p>Looks like HP found the right balance of features to still make an very nice netbook for a lot less than the very well received 2133. The keyboard looks especially nice even thought they used the same odd touch-pad button placement as on the Acer Aspire One.</p>
