KDE 4.0 on HP 2133 Mini-Note

Last week HP announced it's Mini-Note PC with preloads of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10. Our heros of the Mobile Devices Team have worked the last weeks on that. The Mini-Note is available in different configurations starting at $499 (that would be only 313 Euro if applied for Europe without surcharge). All editions share the form factor, the nearly full-size keyboard and the nice display (1280x768). So I had to lend one from Mobile Devices team and play with it. :-)

The Mini Note comes with SLED 10, and SLED includes KDE as option. But that's only KDE 3.5 and that would be boring. So I started to install latest openSUSE Factory (almost 11.0 Beta 1) with our polished KDE 4.0 desktop on it:

KDE 4.0 is usable on this small edition (1 GHz and 512 MB). Only someone please fix the CPU and memory hog knotify4! :-(
