Dont think ff3 is slower than IE7... should be due to heavy tax from other applications
can try ff3 portable version.

I used the latest Firefox 3 and nope I did not try the version 2.x

Added on April 2, 2009, 7:55 pmIt is slower however perhaps you are right; maybe its due to Norton Internet Security (NIS). But it shouldn't be that bad as IE7 also has NIS integrated and it loads a fraction longer than Chrome (which doesn't have NIS integrated).

Read about the Firefox portable version, didn't bother as I'm currently contempt with IE7.

i vote for warranty
if have prob just get FOC service

6cell batt only long lasting duration
but the usage/lifespan of the batt will slowly decrease day by day

alternate..just use adapter.

warantty...

I would go for the 2 years warranty for that extra piece of mind since you will carry it everywhere. 6-cell battery is nice for that extra juice, but it breaks the nice slim profile, make it heavier and harder to find a slipcase.

Nope, it is not hot at the palm rest when you run more than 30 minutes.. however it is slightly warm at the cpu vents when the fan is on full blow. Though it is not noticeable at all when you're doing work or play.

none of 2 options...haha, normally i change notebk yrly....

i called up the HP today, they said 2140 will only available in Malaysia by end of the month, not the coming PC fair. So far all purchase is shipping from sg according to HP.

thats mean we can still hold up until the end of the month before deciding to order on ambank promotion..hehe....
hmm.. wondering whats the retail price would be...heee...

I dont think it would be cheaper, maybe at the same retail price, but u can get free gift la......
There is info around that the 2140 model with 1024 x 768 resolution will be available soon, but do u think Malaysia will have it?

Even for this 2140 model 1024 x 576 already launch in other country for so long also not available in malaysia for this moment.

I had place my order, rather than waiting for PC fair or wat, of course i want the 1024 x 768 model, but i dont think it will available in malaysia market very soon.

:cool2:

of course it will be available here in malaysia lor.. maybe for another 3yrs.. hahaha...
im just waiting for my ambank card reach my post box... then i will make an order hehe....

ha!ha! good luck to u then!

For those who already got their mini, how soon u receive your gadget after u place the order? Mind to share?

i wish it has the 2133 resolution 1280 * 768~ it run with windows 7 perfectly

Of course, u still can wait for it.......as i wish so

I even ask the HP does this 1024 x 768 model will be available by end of the month, but they also not sure.
Most likely will be the 1024 x 600 model only i guess.

i cant wait my hp minote coming ... still waiting the shipment company called

day after day, HP malaysia is taking their own sweet time to bring in this model. My interest to this has really gone. I am getting whatever available in this coming pc fair. Probably a lenovo s10 or asus eee 1000HE.

HP don't know how to take advantage of PC fair. Bad marketing manager.

maybe u can apply for that post..

Bro, i totally agree with u.
perhaps u r the marketing manager who understand the consumer needs so much!

sometimes that's just marketing strategy....

It's probably an oldschool marketing manager who uses conventional marketing strategy. In this internet era, it's more important to gather information from the internet. Working people now, generally need to be more internet savvy. A lot of their work and information gathering is moving towards the internet. You can't believe everything on the internet but it's a great tool to gather information and analyse it towards your advantage. I am certainly not in the line of marketing. This is just my own observation, perhaps there are other factors to consider which I am not aware. But hell, PC market now is so competitive, 2 month difference is a lot of difference. Singapore already launch in 1 March, don't understand why they only launching in May (not confirmed yet maybe delay again).

One good example of bringing in products late, look no further but the iphone. Maxis took too long to bring it here. I heard from insider that the response for iphone is not good. That's because those who want one most probably already owned it. They are targetting the highend market where people can afford to pay RM3000 for a phone. If they can afford, they already buy from blackmarket don't need to wait for them to bring in.
