Living with the HP 2133 Mini Note

28 Jul 2008

Posted by J. Angelo Racoma as Gadgets

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).

Starstruck? Let's go star tripping.

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.
