Living with the HP 2133 Mini Note
Monday
Jul 28, 2008
I picked up an HP 2133 Mini Note review unit last Friday and I’m test driving this little wonder. Well, I have mixed impressions, which mostly agree with other reviews online. I have issues with responsiveness, temperature, and battery life. I’m loving the almost-full-sized keyboard, the screen and the general look and feel of the anodized aluminum casing. It reminds me of the 12” PowerBook of old, actually.
I’m running a series on koobten.com, so you might want to watch out for that these next few days. This will help me decide whether to ultimately make the jump and acquire one for myself, or stick with the Asus Eee (or perhaps go for other brands).

I’m thinking of getting MSI Wind. I think this brand is less reviewed on the net.

I got my HP mini note last 30 July and as of today I returned it to the service center because the unit is defective. I’m totally turned off with it. Twice since i got it, the unit shutdown unexpectedly. Am suspecting that it was overheating. Then the video display wont turn on anymore though the power button is lighting. Now am afraid that this model still has some shortcomings. I am hoping to get a replacement tomorrow, and i can only keep my fingers crossed that it will be in very good condition.

Before you guys buys this HP 2133, think again. Please see forum below from HP.

Few months after the warranty period, it will breakdown. You’ll have to bring it to HP Service center and I bet your brain will be blown away with the part, repair cost. It’s going to be twice the price of a brand new HP2133.
You’ll be sorry. Many from around the world is complaining for this problem and it seems that HP is not doing anything. And still selling this model when they know this problem ever since.
I am one of the many victims of HP 2133 and this is a very deceiving unit. It’s beautiful in the outside but cannot describe by negative words from the inside.
