HP 2133 Priced and Specs

Lucky for you sir. your laptop is still working. Production do not make few unit. They make tons of it. The problem is many are complaining around the world for this issue of breaking down, 3-4 months after warranty period. same problem. Unfortunately one of the many victim is me. The worst part is when I brought it at HP service center for repair, they are charging me twice of a brand new 2133 just for the repair. They told me “GANUN DAW TALAG ANG PRICE” Meaning, when your 2133 is broken, you’ll be surprise to know that the parts of 2133 is very expensive. I am not wishing that your laptop gets broken soon to know. I am sharing to you a fact that the parts for this 2133 is not cheap. HP do not repair it per components. They repair it as an assembly. Like 1 whole assembly of mother board even if IC is the only part that is not working.

DON’T BUY HP PRODUCT SPECIALLY 2133. SEE HP FORUM. ALL 2133 MODEL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WILL BREAKDOWN 3-4 MOTHS AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD. THEN HP WILL CHARGE YOU 38,000 FOR REPAIR.

HERE ARE THE PROOF:

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.

@nagcc Install VLC Player, it should do the trick for video playback.

Question: Anyone who had seen a 6-cell battery for the HP Mini 2133? The 3-cell battery that comes with my unit is just not enough for my mobile computing needs. Saw at eBay that there are even compatible battery packs for the HP Mini 2133, but are they available locally? I asked HP already, but the battery + shipping will cost me around PHP15K — enough to buy another UMPC.

the best pa rin ang msi wind!!!!!!!! napalitan ko na yun bugok na hp na yan!!!! binalik ko sa may shop yun hp 2133 dahil wala pang isang linggo super hang siya (4x a day) yun nag dagdag ako ng 1049 pesos napapalit ko ng wind notebook, so far mas maayos at mas maganda tong wind.

if it isn’t Intel i aint taking it. period.

via sucks. Atom is much cooler. hyperthreaded 1.6Ghz procie… 2133 @ 1.2Ghz it’s like running a rusty 800MhZ Pentium III overclocked. HP shame on you guys. when time comes and you actually realized you should’ve integrated an Atom N330, i’ll have to reconsider my options. as for the moment, this netbook sucks period.

MSI Wind or HP 2133?! Heeeelp!

some body tell us how FAST this umpc run by via C7?

i like how major computer maker compete in the ultra portable market.. BUT i guess 8.9 monitor aint just anough… i’d rather go for 13″ super slim and light laptop.. like the Air.. :-)

I just bought one last night from silicon valley at SM cyberzone, for P29,950. Absolutely better than asus eepc. Great look (brushed silver), larger screen and huge memory! imagine 120GB HDD, 2GB Memory! Not to mention that this is HP…

of course it is downgradable. but not with the help of HP. and you’ll loose the recovery PARTITION (not recovery DVD, since there are no recovery DVD creator provided) in the hard disk. from what I heard, HP will release an XP version maybe on June.

Is it biodegradable to Win XP?

is it already available at local stores? how about the unit running the linux os?

the only thing that matters to me was its sleek design.. :D

i want to buy this if i had extra cash.. :)

I have two questions:

a.) I need a small laptop which I will use primarily to type documents and surf the internet while on the outside. I am after PORTABILITY and LONG BATTERY LIFE, which one should I choose? HP mini-note 2133, ASUS EEE PC 900 or MSI Wind?

b.) Is the HP-mini note 2133 6-cell version already available here in the philippines? What’s the total weight for the 6-cell version and how much does it cost?

b.) Is the MSI WIND already available in the philippines? Where and how much does it cost?

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Dave

Yuga,

I figured. But I’m really looking forward to VIA Isaiah powered HP Mini-Note

@sylv3rblade: im male but i don’t think you would want to call me your kuya. /lol

@andre: its is bigger but being better is going to be relative. the keyboard of the 2133 is said to be cause less strain on the wrists due to the size and spacing but for those with relatively small hands they can type faster on the eee keyboard since their hands has less space to travel.

ciao!

via 1.2ghz processor = something much slower compared to the celerons from what i’ve read. HD space is nice and windows vista. Hows the keyboard compared to the eeePC 900?

will to get my hands on one to test how it runs as a complement to my standard dual core lappy.

@rodney: still the new (and most of the current) batch of ultraportables would be sporting a processor that is rated at 1GHz. even if that is the theoretical speed, it can still perform cpu-intensive tasks but a user should not expect the same performance from a full-blown laptop or desktop. i think these machines can still run the 3+ year old games. :)

like what the MSI sales director said in an interview, ultraportables is not meant to be your “first car”. they are meant to be the second or third.

ciao!

Kinda expensive, though.

For P30,000, you can purchase a full-blown laptop. I mean no disrespect to the ultra-portable makers (since I too have an Asus eee PC) but for that price, I think I can spend it on a better PC with more features and frills. Of course, one of the reasons why the unit is expensive is because of its size. Typically, the price depends on the size. The smaller it is, the expensive it gets. You’re purchasing the convenience of not dragging around something heavy.

Personally, if you will be buying an ultra-portable computer, it’s mainly for chatting, document creation or emailing. You don’t use that for Adobe Photoshop or Video editing.

P30K is still P30K. If you got this to spare, use it wisely.

I’m thinking… should I buy one now or should I wait until HP replaces the CPU with an Isaiah or an Atom processor…
