HP 2133 Mini-Note – Annoyances, Heat

HP Compaq 2133 Mini-Note For all of the positive press and reviews that the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC has received, there are some issues and annoyances being found by some.

Joanna Stern over at LAPTOP Magazine felt (literally and figuratively) that it was getting hot, although it was a pre-production unit. However, Brad Linder over at Liliputing found some heat problems as well.

– a better CPU is desired for multi-tasking.
– a two-prong instead of three-prong A/C adapter would be more suitable for some environments.
– the aforementioned heat.

I’m still planning on getting one, but holding off for a few weeks until the customizable options are available as well as to see if any changes are going to be made.
