  The screen is very private with this product, but the tabs do not remain on. In fact they came off within 24 hours. Very poor adhesive.

  The privacy filter works great and was much less expensive than comparable filters. The only concern I had was with the delivery box damage which in turn caused a bend in the screen. I contacted the company but never got a response. I kept it and it reduces glare off my horrid screen and helps with privacy.

  I was looking for a laptop aniglare filter and althougth this product says it functions as such (in addition to the privacy), the line paterns in the screen iritated my eyes. I could not adjust to the screen so I had to return it.
  I have used antiglare screens on regular desktops and have experienced the difference between using and not using one. I work over 8 hours a day on a computer, so without a screen, my eyes are really strained by the end of the day. I have yet to find a good screen for laptops. Disappointed in the product. Expected a lot more, especially for the price.

  This is my first privacy filter for a laptop, but I am suspect maybe all of them are difficult to use. Like another reviewer, the tabs came off almost immediately. Getting the filter on and off is difficult and this will probably be $36 down the drain. But I need it. *sigh*. They should build laptops with these things built in.

  Sorry.

  I’ve only had a cheap e-bay cooling pad before this one, but my god was it quieter than this. I bought this because it blows air onto the notebook which is a much better cooling method for many laptops (the ones that suck air from the bottom and blows it out the sides), but if you so slightly tap the bottom of this fan, the fan inside will move making an extremely loud rattle noise until you tap it till the fan falls again. I’m not sure if I just have a defective product, but if I put this pad sideways or move it to much it does the same thing.
  The wave design causes this fan to take double its size, so keep that in mind if you want something mobile, especially something that needs to fit in a tight luggage compartment.
  The USB cord sticking out the back of the pad is extremely small, making it very awkward to move the computer around while having it connected.
  Also this stand raises the back of the computer 2 inches and the front 1 inch. This for me is horrible since I have an extended 12 cell battery for my HP that raises my computer 1 extra inch on the back. Take that into consideration when buying this product.
  I would like to point out again my biggest complaint which is the massive rattle noise that the fan makes. On every spin it seems to make a small clicking noise which makes it really loud when it is on.

  I just got this item today and I wonder how I ever did without it. I use my laptop for 8-10 hrs each day and by mid-day, it would usually turn into a nice little space heater. I’d leave to get a cup of coffee, and my cat would be asleep on top of it! But now, even after a full day of use, it feels as cool as when I first turned it on. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is the somewhat flimsy construction. It leaves me to wonder how it would hold up under constant travel, opening and closing the compartment door, etc. I don’t travel with it, so I’m not too worried about that part.

  This is a piece of crap. Where to begin..

  Number one, it’s not wide enough by about 5 inches for my 15.4″ laptop. Of course, you hear them say “it’s fine, it doesn’t have to be”. This is true, if you don’t mind your laptop being even more top-heavy while it’s on your lap.

  Secondly, the stand is crap and doesn’t lock in to place well at all unless you have it sitting on a flat surface (like, anything that ISN’T your lap or on a perfect 90 degree angle). If you “choose” not to use the stand, you have to keep your hands on the front of the laptop to keep it leveled out, because the curve on the bottom of this stand makes it teeter otherwise.

  Third, the fan that’s being used IS strong as far as wind power, but it’s extremely flimsy. I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but one of the 11 fan blades managed to bend ever-so-slightly enough to hit the guard, trapping the fan’s rotation. So, I take it apart and try to GENTLY bend it back into place, and the stupid thing RIPS!? It ripped like a piece of paper! I’ve worked with computers for many years, and this is literally the cheapest fan I’ve seen.

  The only good thing I can say about this is that when it DID work, it put out a decent amount of air. HOWEVER, if you have it on anything other than a flat surface, forget about it. You’d think due to the giant valley in the middle of this thing, you would be able to sit it on a bed or blanket or something and still have a bit of air flowing. You’d be thinking wrong. The way the fan is set, being the lowest point on the stand, it absolutely MUST be on a rigid, flat surface to work properly.

  I can’t recommend this thing to anyone, especially for the price they’re asking and how cheaply made it is.

  I bought it one month back and now it is dead.. Fan is not working… I thought Belkin will hav a nice product.. It really disappointed me..

  Think twice before buying this product.. from this seller.. I would certainly not recommend this item to anyone…

  I have had this cooling stand for a year and it continues to work with no problems. It keeps the laptop cool even when the surrounding temperature is in the 90’s. Sometimes the fan rattles at the beginning but stops after a few minutes. It slides quite nicely into my laptop bag so I can carry it from site to site. It’s really light so it does not add noticeable weight to the laptop bag. I have just bought a second one. Looks good with Mac products.

  Let’s clear one thing up right away; this is a NETBOOK. Not a desktop replacement or gaming laptop. Netbooks are designed to do only a few things. In exchange for this limitation, you get a small form factor, low power consumption device that supplements your computing arsenal.

  All of that being said, this is an outstanding netbook; truly redefining what can be expected from this product category. An impressive RAM set up, multiple OS choices, and a massive hard drive are all encased in an impressive and sturdy brushed aluminum exterior. I have large hands, and I found it easy to use the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is generous and well constructed. The touch pad, with some practice, is actually intuitive and easy to use.

  While most of what I wrote above is a rarity for any netbook, the expansion capabilities are truly unique to the 2140. As of this writing, the 2140 is the only netbook with an Expresscard 54 slot. Perfect for any number of x54 cards (SSDs, Mobile broadband, TV Tuners, and especially the MoGo x54 Mouse cards). Additionally, the unit has 2 USB ports, Ethernet, and an SD card reader slot. Wireless A/B/G/N and Bluetooth are also included. The display is gorgeous and bright…very easy on the eyes, even for a 10.1 in screen.

  All-in-all, you really cannot go wrong with the 2140 in any configuration offered here on Amazon. It is a solidly designed, feature packed netbook. It’s slightly more expensive than what other netbooks are going for, but you will get what you pay for.

  If you’re looking to take the plunge into the exploding netbook market, or upgrade your Gen 1 netbook, this is a great model.

  I am very satisfied with the purchase, is one netbook with performance of notebook, by something HP has it in the category of Business. The presentation and chassis in general demonstrate their quality, are not of cheap plastic like those of their competitors.

  The good:
  Slot of expansion x54 (like in one notebook of normal size), in where it can from taking Internet by means of the cellular service, to cards to watch digital TV in the equipment or to use a mogo mouse that hides in the groove and always takes with the equipment.
  It is bluetooth, it does not need any additional hardware.
  Cards Network Wireless N and 10/100/1000 Gigabit
  Screen of 10,1 Inches
  Work without overheat

  The bad:
  The resolution of the screen (1024 xs 576) take 14 pixels to the standard of (1024 xs 600), this acquittal a little space of vertical work and some times the windows of I engage in a dialog will appear incomplete, in programs that have their interfaces designed for the standard resolution of 1024×600
  Have a USB port of each side, and some peripheral demand 2 USB Plugs to work, this can be in a disadvantage, and although one of those ports is of a new type “re harnessed” that even brings the logo: USB +, I have not been able to find a cable for that new type of connector with which HP solve the problem. It is possible to mention that all the peripheral ones that I have proven they work well in this even single connector being fed by one USB Plug.

  In summary, I found but good things that bad in this equipment, its design and elegance and the quality that reflects, extra their yield (it compares it with Acer One executing Word 2007, and the HP before opened it as by 4-5 seconds) makes of the HP an equipment far beyond my seem.

  The computer work well for 10 days then the screen went black and that whats the end of it. I have to return it.

  From netbooks I owned HTC Shift, Asus eee 1000HA and Asus eee 1002HA. I tried out my friends Acer Aspire 1, HP mini 2133 too. So I know how to compare and from my point of view this is excellent laptop. Yes, I call it laptop. Sony calls it’s P-series a laptop too, but I think sony p-series is a toy, and cannot replace my laptop, while hp mini 2140 surely can.

  Technically it’s like most other netbooks on the market: intel atom n270 1.6 Ghz 533mhz FSB, 1-2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, GMA 950 graphics, Wi-Fi b/g/n(draft), BT 2.0+EDR, 10/100/1000 ethernet. It has some strange resolution, non-standart 1024×576 instead of 1024×600. But I didn’t notice much difference because of those 24 pixels. Perhaps it was the only way to keep it inside the same chassis as hp mini 2133. Screen is glossy, it could be also good and bad thing about this model. They made very minor changes from old chassis. One is less noticeable but yet important change is side vent design. Side vent holes were placed vertically in old 2133 and as a result, when you place it on soft surface they can be covered from bottom. In 2140 they placed them horizontally, and it increases the side vent clearance from the floor and it has more space at the bottom and less chances to be covered when placed on soft surface. You better check pictures.

  Vista runs fine on it.

  I’ve been searching a lot, read many reviews and ended up with a few models to choose from before buying 2140:

  Sony P series
  Kohjinsha SX
  Asus eee 1000HE
  HP mini 2140

  Sony was out because of it’s style. It’s more suitable who those who don’t care much about productivity but rather for style and look. Yes it looks perfect, it’s glamor but I don’t think I’d be able to accomplish my daily tasks on it.

  Kohjinsha SX is still my favorite one, but it’s price is very high. HP wins with it’s price here.

  Asus eee 1000HE has new cpu intel atom n280, the only netbook for the moment that can afford it. Unfortunately they placed it all in almost the same chassis as in 1000HA, which looks cheap. All plastic. Because of the same reason I skipped over samsung nc 10 and acer aspire 1.

  In 2140 improved screen size with the same chassis as it’s predecessor 2133. They moved speakers to the bottom of the screen and made screen bigger, while keeping the chassis same size.

  I was a bit confused why they didn’t put n280 in it. Perhaps it takes too long in huge companies like HP to do some design changes and implement latest technologies in their products.

  I had some doubts about this model. It’s predecessor 2133 was very poor in means of heat and power consumption and noise. It was awful. I was afraid that this model will repeat those mistakes. But it uses intel atom n270 instead of VIA in 2133 which has less power consumption. So i decided to give it a try.

  After buying this thing I found out that:
  BAD THINGS FIRST:
  1) It cannot be easily upgraded. In order to charge it with SSD I would probably have to disassemble it. eee solves it much easier. (Update: recently, when upgrading it to SSD I found out that it’s not that easy, you just got to be careful when pulling keyboard in order to reach disk drive).
  2) Battery is not as long as eee or samsung nc. Extra 6 cell battery looks ugly and makes 2140 non-transportable
  3) Screen is a bit too high brightness. You need to adjust brightness from control panel to make it normal. It’s fixable.
  4) Weight is not very well balanced. Back side is heavier than front
  5) Charger is big enough, bigger than eee’s charger. It’s a brick like in normal laptop.
  6) Doesn’t include any accessories but charger, CDs and manual. At least one cheap case would be fine, before I buy normal case. All eee have slim case in box.

  GOOD THINGS
  1) it has the best keyboard in the world. I’m so surprised with it’s superior quality and comfort that I think it’s even more comfortable for me to type on HP mini 2140 than on desktop keyboard or any other laptop/umpc/netbook keyboards (I tried a lot).
  2) excellent design. comparable to sony viao, maybe better but not worse than that. It doesn’t look like budget netbook. HP looks like >1000$ model for much less price.
  3) It’s fully functional laptop. It has normal resolution (1024×576) for 10” screen. I do not understand how one can put 1280×768 on 8” screen like sony did. You can’t see anything but videos on sony p-series screen.
  4) It has express card 54 slot, which many comparable netbooks doesn’t have. I will place 3G card in it. I don’t like 3G card pulling out of USB port, prefer it to be mostly hidden in express slot.
  5) It still weights only ~1.2kg. SSD version maybe even lighter
  4) this model is much cooler, quiter and battery lasts longer than on hp mini 2133. With web browsing, wi-fi on you can get up-to 3.5 hours. More intensive applications - 2.5-3 hours. I tried it with the following applications running: SQL developer, Netbeans IDE, Outlook, google chrome with 3-4 tabs open while windows update installing updates in the background and heavy network and HDD IO and it lasted about 2 hours. I think it’s OK. Not as much as eee but OK.
  5) I read in reviews that some people were complaining about touchpad, and that buttons are not comfortably placed. I didn’t notice that. I think they did a good compromise by placing buttons on the left and right sides of the touchpad, while keeping touchpad itself big enough. Buttons are comfortable for me.
  6) It’s built up very good. Feels like hp mini 2140 is one solid peace of metal and plastic.
  6) Ergonomics. Everything seems to be there where you expected it to be. Every inch is used very effectively, no wasted space here, as a result dimension are very good, looks much smaller than eee pc 1000 series.
  7) hp drive guide 3d technology, maybe not important for most of the people, but it’s good one. Parks HDD headers when it senses movement or falling. Can save data one day, or maybe not It depends.
  Finally!!! HP engineers managed to optimize OS and not overload it with HP software and removed loads of icons from tray and startup programs that used to be in all OS’s preinstalled by HP and other vendors. They did a good job this time, and I spent less time optimizing and updating OS.

  Being honest I would give this laptop 4.5, since I didn’t have such a chance I choosed to give it 5 instead of 4.

  This laptop riser works great on a tabletop, but is not comfortable to use on your lap.

• 15 Manuel

  The stand is great, but not quite what I expected. There’s a piece of plastic that sticks up to prevent the laptop from falling, as well as prevents me from getting to my CD/DVD drive. But it’s something I can deal with.

  Great shipping time and everything

• 16 Ortiz

  I have had this stand for about a year now. The height and adjustability are perfect. But the plastic material is flimsy, and it didn’t take long for the little plastic pieces in the back that hold the stand in its desired position to break. So I’ve been using it with major tape slapped across the back of the stand to keep it from collapsing (which it still periodically does). I am now shopping for a new stand, one preferably made of aluminum.

• 17 Islas

  this item serves it’s purpose. It doesn’t function well in the higher position because the laptop screen tends to lean forward.

• 18 Vajifbar

  It’s overpriced for a large, unstable piece of plastic that feels like it will break any minute. My laptop wobbles on the second to lowest height. Will be returning it to buy a second book stand that holds my laptop better than this.

• 19 Skandale

  I think this laptop is practically perfect! I read all of the reviews on amazon before purchasing it, and the only flaw I read was that the grey letters on the keys were difficult to see. I have had no problem in any light or at any angle seeing what is on the keys. I have no complaints! It’s very user friendly and would recommend this laptop for anyone!

• 20 Sahakyan

  Shipment was not an issue it arrived within the time frame promised.

  Like the aesthetics of the laptop despite its annoying flaws. Such as:

  Audio problems, sometimes would cut out especially between logging in and out, which is one of the most annoying problems I’m experiencing.

  Scroll on mouse pad buggy & scroll bar is dysfunctional.

  Full of bloat ware from hp which slows it down considerably to the point that one who didn’t know it wouldn’t believe that there are two 2.4Ghz processors running the machine, but was a minor problem easily remedied.
