The bottom gets heated up when plugged, though. It's like touching a frying pan. I bought a cooling pad for when I have to leave it on as a download slave for long period. If I want to work with it on my lap, I need a pillow or something. Still, not as hot as my Thinkpad gets, though. You can fry an egg on a Thinkpad X series after 3 hours of use. I’m loving the 2140.

These dealers shouldn't be jacking up their price just because these items are hard to come by locally. The extra price might be a commission based scheme...x_x HP should do something to make it more affordable for people who have bought their products. If anyone can sell these much needed accessories/upgrades at a much more reasonable price, please do so for our sake. ^^ I inquired the same thing (the VGA) with PC Live the day I was deciding between the 2140 and the 1109TU.

They forwarded me to PCLive instead since they don't sell DAW to consumers directly. When I called PCLive, they told me it was freaking 5K! for a cable that costs $20 in the US!!! Sabi nila, estimated price palang naman daw. I was kinda pissed since HP told me that it would be around 3K, but still, the price difference from the US is too much. Anyway, it may be an enterprising move to order lots from the US and resell them for 2K each. hahaha. On the battery part, it's $95 in the US right now for the 6-cell battery.

It would be much cheaper and faster importing it. I tried inquiring at PC Live and they said it usually takes at least 3 business days if their HP distributor his it in stock. I didn't ask about the price but I doubt it would be that expensive coming from an official supplier. That price is almost double and it won't be good news for people who would want to upgrade their battery. x_x Better get 1st hand info from HP... I've talked with a lot of sales persons and they're usually bluffing about the things they know about the products they sell. Has anyone contacted HP Philippines about it?

Here in the Philippines the HP Mini's 6 Cell battery might be more or less expensive. You'll just have to contact their support number. You can inquire with Complink or PC Live about it. I have no plans yet of upgrading my battery yet. For now it's sufficient for the stuff I do when I'm on the go. In the US it’s Sold as $191 USD.

Again, this might be a deal breaker for some. Specially those who might be using their system for photoshop. It was a tough choice choosing between the new 1109TU and the 2140. You just have to ask yourself which of the 2 is your preference: Form or Functionality. In this case it can't be both. The 1109TU is sleeker but has less. The 2140 has more but it's not as eye-catchy from the outside. What made me choose the 2140 is the VGA port, the sturdy aluminum casing, more durable keys, separate mic,headphone jacks and more storage space which makes up for the price difference. ^^ They have the same resolutions 1024×576 pixels.

PC live sells them too, actually this is where I got the news that it was coming, a week earlier! Here's my "mini" review =P Other features: It has spill resistant keys, The letters on the keys has a special coating that extends its clarity 10x. What it doesn't have: The box has no carrying handle, no frills design. It does not come with a sleeve, no cleaning cloth. Aside from having an atom processor and lower resolution (yes lower than 1024x600), here are some other notable difference with the 2133: The 2140's Camera image is much clearer (due to the software),The touch pad switch lights up when it's disabled. The real deal breaker (specially for people who is not used to laptops or UMPC's) with the 2140 is the 3 cell battery it comes with. Samsung's NC10 is much more well rounded but samsung doesn't sell them here. What I really love about the mini note is it's keyboard and solid aluminum casing. For people more in looks doesn't do presentations, buy the mini 1109TU (new model!). For the practical ones, get the 2140, most stores has 0 interest up to 12 months, get them while there's still stocks left. If you're concern is the battery, you could order a 6 cell battery from the store you bought it(Complink). It takes only 3 days. ^^ I bought my hp mini 2140 yesterday at Complink, SM North – Cyberzone (New Annex).
