HP 2140 Unboxed

I recently picked up a HP 2140 Mini Note netbook to evaluate as a staff and student OLPC solution for a local charter school that I'm moonlighting for as IT Director. This is a great little unit and I'm having a lot of fun shaking it out. Check out the unboxing with apologies for the broken arm fumbling and disruptive schnauzer.

Enjoy,
Etienne

what happened to ur arm

[JELaVallee]

Busted the end of my radius bone into four pieces during an ice skating accident.  Been a year now and I have full function back in that arm and hand with a bit of joint pain when the weather is cold. The wonders of modern medicine. Thanks for asking.

I'd actually prefer the HP Mini 5101...

[JELaVallee]

Actually, I just got an HP Mini 311 via a special customer retention offer from Verizon Wireless Broadband that ended up making it only $150 (US). Sorry, no unboxing, but I may have a video of the Mac OS X Snow Leopard installation process up soon. The 311 is basically a MacBook Air with an Atom processor, so the process of hackingtoshing it has been very smooth.

i was thinking about purchasing this netbook because of the specs and the design of it its the best i would say of all netbooks... only one question does it get really hot after a long period of use?

[JELaVallee]

@Rat5: It does get hot... probably the hottest I've seen for these small formfactor units... I have discovered that at lot of it has to do with making sure the fan vents on the left side of the unit are unobstructed. I also have a small aluminum binder case that I use as a notepad and pencil box and now serves as a nice lappad/heat sink. Regardless, I wouldn't let that stop me from owning one... it's really the best in show.
