and don't get that ultra portable (11') TZ series - piece of crap, just got rid of it and getting normal 15.4' with blu-ray burner 4Gb RAM 300Gb HD for almost half price of that little one,
I like to keep all (hardware/software) in one brand name, works for me OK.

Get the same lappy as i got. Acer 2920.Only £500.
Dual core, 2ghz, 2gb ram, express slot. 12 inch screen.
250gb hard-drive, dual layer burner.
Just got a firewire to express card slot for it for capturing via firewire from tape based cams.
It runs Clipbrowser, no stuttering at all on playback, it also runs vegas pretty smooth as well.

Brilliant for the money, no problems at all with vista home premium or sxs cards.

Paul.

Phil, I feel for you and all the problems you seem to be having trying to get the expresscard slot to work with the SxS cards. Based on everything stated in this thread, I really think you need to contact HP service.

First to see if they can resolve your problem, and second, if they cannot, then to replace your 2133 as it may be defective. It seems to me, at this point, it is a warranty problem.

Good luck.

got a refund. Bought another one which had already been downgraded to XP and it worked first time...

Weird.

Glad to hear you got the problem resolved. Obviously the first one was defective.

can this device be used with Sony SBAC-US10 card reader in the field instead of a laptop??? I mean to back up SxS cards. It is pocket size and MUCH less expensive.

Yes - it has a built-in ExpressCard slot so you can offload SxS cards without the need for the Sony USB reader. My experience so far has been positive - ~3mins to offload a full 8GB SxS card with the Shotput Xpress software.

he is talking about the device at the bottom of his post which is a portable hard drive for offloading photos.

Anybody know the workflow for dumping SXS onto PRo disc with the U1? Not worked it out yet!

I am considering the HP 2133 Mini-Note FM817URR Netbook - VIA C7-M 1.2GHz, 2GB DDR2, 120GB HDD, 8.9" WXGA, Windows XP Professional.

My main editing system is a Mac. Is it possible to get the Windows SXS Transfer software to output files that I can work with in FCP?

Is it more of a storage device only?

Thx in Advance
