Anyone ordered the 2140 with the new high def screen yet???

I think there's something wrong with the BIOS, because the boot order option for USB says "USB Legacy" and not "First, second, or third" etc... we should file a bug report with HP!

 

Hi guys--I'm posting from my 2140! It arrived safely just over a week ago, but it took a little time for us to get everything set up--this was our first laptop, so we also had to get a wireless router and do that whole setup

Anyway, now I'm setup, online, and everything is working great! So far I love the 2140 and haven't encountered any problems. We didn't notice much "bloat" either: we deleted the McAfee trial because we already have Norton coverage that we added for this computer, and we are also going to delete the Office trial because I get Office free through work to use at home as well.

I didn't see a 2140 owner's thread--should we start one up?

 

I'm sorry... I know it's late, but.....
Congratulations, wesrubix...

btobey, congratulations!!!

Yes, please start an official 2140 thread... I'd make one if I had one, but I don't have a 2140. But, I'm seriously considering it and waiting for users' impressions and concerns, but it seems like there are not many 2140 users here.

 

OK I got my HP 2140 Mini to Boot from USB. I don't know why it worked. But it did.
I told the BIOS to reset to defaults. Then I could pick my flash drive from the boot menu (F9) as a "USB Hard Drive" and it successfully booted off of the flash drive!
I don't know what I changed, but the BIOS is back to normal. I don't see weird "Legacy USB" in place of the ordinals in boot order anymore.

Tek, you should reset your BIOS to defaults and see if you can boot off flash.
