by

HP Compaq 2133 Mini-Note If you are curious about what can be currently achieved on the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC in regards to video conferencing, James and Kevin over at jkOnTheRun have put together a video demonstrating a Skype video conference call.

While Kevin was using a MacBook Pro, James was using the Mini-Note (and James’ side is the focus of the video). The Mini-Note that James was using was the high-end 1.6GHz VIA CPU, 2GB of memory, and loaded (by James) with Windows XP (and Skype 3.8 for Windows).

LAPTOP Magazine’s blog also had an article about Skype on the Mini-Note, but included no video.
