Title says it all - the HP Mini 2140 is basically a HP Mini-note with the deficiencies of the 2133 (crap processor) and 1000 (slow FSB, small and slow hard drive) fixed.

I was seriously thinking of getting a 1000 (I think I saw a Linux edition) until I saw this...but now I'm wondering if its worth waiting...but then you can spend your whole life waiting for things to happen here sometimes

Anyone seen the 2140 in Thailand yet? Price?

Did a tour of Fortune today. There are 'new model' HP Mini's on the way, but nobody could tell me when or what number. Anyway, I decided against the HP Mini 1001 - the Linux version seems to have evaporated, the staff have no recollection of ever seeing it, and you can only get it with Windows XP Home - which means restricted to 1GB RAM (arghhh!!! why???!?).

So I'm waiting. And hoping the new model is the 2140. All I could find out was that the new one is aluminium, so good chance. Also noticed that the Mini 2133 is savagely discounted now - one shop had it for B9,990. Nobody wants it.

Any sightings of the HP Mini 2140 anywhere in Bangkok?

Bump - don't suppose anyone has seen one in Thailand? It's beginning to look like the 2140 will be outdated when (if) it ever arrives here.

So an update: Still no HP mini 2140 in the shops, however the HP shop in Fortune is now saying they are 'on market' which is an improvement over 'what?'. However, I saw an interesting new black plastic model, I think it was called the 1006 TU. It looks like the 1000 with some of the design mistakes fixed:

* N280 processor

* 5400 RPM drive

* Has a VGA/projector port

* Stupid proprietary USB port replaced with standard one

13,000 baht. Thinking about buying one, but I would still prefer a 2140 with a metal case, if one could be had.
