Hi,
Newbie on board and wondering if anyone has an opinion on this as currently my 2113 has Vista on it but I heard it runs quicker with xp. Thanks in advance.
I assume you mean the 2133? The problem your going to face is support as HP, as far as I know, does not offer any XP drivers for this unit. This means you will need to find drivers for each hardware item from either another notebook vendor or the hardware vendor which can be a real problem.
From the specs on this system sure XP would be faster, Windows 98 even faster but from a support standpoint your would probably be much better off sticking with the installed OS. Remember these mini systems are not designed to replace your regular desktop or even typical notebook but provide road warriors with a small, lite system they can take on the road, access email, do some web work and connect back to the office via TS or RDP to their normal Desktop.
If your really into tweaking then make an image of the current system and then give XP a try. If you can't get everything working it will only take a few mnutes to re-image Vista.
Hint: Make sure you use a Vista aware imaging product, some are known to screw it up.
