I just bought a 2140 from a store in Megamall (one of the last two units, since it was announced that the model is “phased out”). It looks and feels great.

My one negative comment about the unit I got is that the left side of the screen’s frame shows the backlights/sidelights of the monitor. You can clearly see it if you look at an angle from the right facing the screen. I already asked in one of the notebook forums around the net if this is an issue that I should attend to. It was suggested that I leave it at that since it’s ok when I face the monitor properly. But still, I think I ought to have it replaced or fixed at least.

Im really interested in buying a mini laptop right now because of its weight, is it the best laptop as of now? I have a budget of 24,000 thanks.

This netbook is extremely hard to find in malls. I went to Megamall and SM North and the stores there only sell the inferior Mini 2133 and 1109. I even asked the storekeepers about it and they said that their suppliers doesn’t seem to support this model anymore. So I went to tipidpc and (surprise) I found one.

I bought mine last year (Aug, 2008) and everyone in the office goes oohh and aahh. But I gave it to my mom last May. I can’t work on it for more than 2 hours-eye strain. I guess netbook is not for me. Now

I wonder, why it has taken you so late to blog about this one. I thought this sight would give me reviews on the latest tech. Just a thought…

@ann, nope didn’t notice any grounding problems. Maybe you should have yours checked as it could be the wiring or something.

Been using the 2140 for a few months. No problem with heat unless you place it directly on your lap while charging. I suggest you use a small pillow or a book.

My issue with it is that the aluminum casing has a bit of ‘ground’, like very subtle buzz of electricity when plugged. It makes touching the exterior uncomfortable. Abe, did you experience this in your test?

@John Ray – compared to the other netbooks I’ve tried the HP MIni 2140 runs relatively cooler.

@ardz: sorry, that is around 90 to 117 fahrenheit, according to:

@bon: i just told my friend that aluminum has a higher specific heat ratio than hard plastic, that means it cools faster but similarly heats faster too. tama ba ako?

John Ray, I’ve used the 2133 and the 2140; the latter runs significantly cooler than the 2133. While they may have the same basic body shell, the 2133 runs on a relatively inefficient Via CPU, which generates a lot of heat. My 2140 is cool enough to run on your lap without protection. It’s even cooler than the similarly-equipped Lenovo S10.

@John Ray Cabrera
90 degrees Fahrenheit is just around 32 degrees Celcius. It’s not that hot.
