HP Mini Note 2140 Priced at Php23,950

is it available in all Complink branches? or just a few?

They’re also selling the Mininote 1109TU for Php18,990.

Hmmmmm… my Samsung NC10 still kicks this one with it’s 6-cell battery, 3 USB slots, Bluetooth, and killer looks! I wonder why Samsung doesn’t market it here. The price came out to around 25K for me coming from the US.

CompLink Megamall Cyberzone doesn’t have it yet. Just asked yesterday. At that price point, I’m so buying it! Wohoo!

Sayang nga lang at 3-cell battery lang siya…

do you know kung san branch my stock?

i might be selling my Mini 1000 for Php18k.

damn technology. keeps on upgrading and upgrading.

@Doc Harry: they even have Samsung NC110 anbd NC120 already, with NC120 to have practically 10hours of battery life.

the only notable difference of it from the Mini 1000 is the presence the VGA port, the higher capacity drive(which of course means a lot), and an aluminum casing. however the aluminum casing is a recylced concept from Mini 2133.

i was hoping HP would overhaul another design portfolio on newer models.

or it could be that HP is following one design concept for the Mini 2100 series?

is the 6cell battery pack readily available for the Mini 2140?

@John Ray Cabrera
umm the Mini Note 2140 is a business class netbook and it’s got several features that set it quite apart from the 1000 and the 2133.

I bought my hp mini 2140 yesterday at Complink, SM North – Cyberzone (New Annex). 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 1024×600), 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. ^^

They have the same resolutions 1024×576 pixels. 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. ^^

In the US it’s Sold as $191 USD.

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.

Complink store at Digital Exchange is already carrying this, got mine yesterday. an order for a 6 cell battery will set you back Php 11K , delivery time is 30-45 days.

I’ve called HP a while ago to inquire about the mini VGA cable. 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.

yep.

after checking all “tale of the tape”, i still go for the samsung NC10

netbook- people on the run. mobility

3 cell batt vs 6 cell batt. no brainer.

For me, its still the 1001TU model. Sleek design since its all black, 1024 X 600 screen reso at 10.1″ widescreen.

Im running both XP home and OS X! But I am using OS X more since I am an apple fan :)

Sorry guys, just wanna boast about it, hehehe.

Wowo..

I would love to have this…

Im selling my 2140 at 10k.. secondhand.

my 2140’s screen got broken. my iron dropped on it. is there a replacement? how much wil it cost? thanks for the help.=)
