Even without the battery only using external power the laptop doesn’t come on. The machines comes on but no display.

Anyone HELP!

Don’t want to return machine.

My cellular carrier is Sprint.

You can get one for the express card or a usb. who is you cellular carrier? (verizon? att?…)

Thanks Chris I hope I can get one to work with this computer. Where do you connect the card?

I believe you will have to get a broadbrand card with whatever cell service you have in order to get wireless away from home. I have one and it is actually very nice.

How can I use the wireless from home. Are there wireless providers? I want to be able to use he wireless from home and when I am away from home.

will the mini note be able to handle adobe premiere elements?

Please reply asap

it is not an option. Very few notebooks smaller than 12″ have a DVD drive.

I am desperately interested in this notebook, it’s just that I’m concerned it doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive. I think that this is still important for many people who are yet to transit from the ‘old school’. I bet there would have been a space that can take a CD/DVD drive. Does any one know if I can request to have that added (as a custom order) from HP store/factory? How about basic free programs (eg. MS Office…free trial version), are they installed?,..or do you have to install from the scratch when you purchase this notebook?
thanks

The evaluation unit I was using had a 7200 rpm drive in it and you’re right, it’s not available any longer.

Hello,
You state in your review that the hp mini hard drive spins at 7200 rpm. I’ve searched the HP site and they only show 5400 rpm. What’s up?

What you can’t get from hp’s specs is, what does a screen image look like? Your video was very helpful for this, and yes, you still get a full screen even on 8.9 inch display. I estimate that you may have to move your head forward about 14 inches for the screen to fill the same area of your field of vision as a 15 inch screen normally would.

One feature I like on hps is the ability to quickly switch off the touch pad. With a lot of typing, my thumb occasionally hits the touch pad and before I know it, my text is suddenly being entered on the document in the spot where the pointer was last parked (!).

the HP 2133 is a piece of shit. I got one to test for a school as we are moving to UMPC next year, however this machine only LOOKS good but when it came to turning it on, well I can only say that it was better off staying it the box, sold it on ebay for more than I bought it for and well, let someone else find the truth. HP should be shot, they put a VIA7 processor in a machine when the intel Atom was out? why?… this machine overheated so much, it was so hot you could have burned your hands on it. The machine was so hot that the keyboard was buckled to the extent that when you looked at the laptop, something didnt seem right! Put the Atom Chip in and make people happy, please!

I love mine, except it died in the first week while I was in SE Asia. Inconvenient, to say the least. However, HP Service was great – after suggesting a few things over the phone, they sent a prepaid box for overnight shipping to a repair station, and I had it back in under 2 weeks (apparently a main board fault). At my request they also re-imaged it with XP Pro instead of Vista. I can’t tell if the improvement in performance is because of the repair or the OS, but either way it’s now a very sweet machine.
