Using any so-called ‘laptop’ actually on your lap is actually an ergonomic nightmare – even more so with smaller machines like the HP 2133 and the Eee. All keyboard and screen work should really be taken with the device at the correct hand and eye height, and a lap does not provide that.

But if you are wedded to lap computing at least with these smaller machines it is easier to find a book or other firm surface to rest it on when in lap mode – something difficult to do with a larger machine.

It is the only one with an aluminum casing. Aluminum conducts heat very well. Plastic doesn't. The heat you are feeling is heat that would otherwise have to rely exclusively on a fan to be evacuated from the inside. If so, this is good for the longevity of the internal components.
