I can't stand the 6 cell... didn't even charge it. They're shooting for cheap, and I spent a grand and still can't get what I want!!! Kid's PC? I think they've missed the boat! I want a workstation replacement in the 2133 size factor, and I'm close to sticking with my IBM for another year. Any leads on 3 cell would be appreciated.

It is frustrating I know, the 6-cell battery drives me nuts because it makes moving the notebook around, a hassle.

Spare chargers are everywhere though. Warning! - some cheapy eBay clones only provide 18.1V which is not enough to charge the battery and run the unit. Each *official* AC/DC adapter has a unique serial number and unique ID number, whereas the eBay clones all have the same serial number... The charging port on the HP2133 is unique enough - so its hard to find adapter tips and something in the 19V(+) charging range. I have a source for tips, but waiting to verify they work or not - another week wait. Good luck Hi @Roo - nice name. :)

It doesn't make sense to me. Why would they not put out these basic necessities when there is obviously a demand for them. I spent a good amount of time on the phone w/ HP as well, speaking with multiple departments, but nobody had a clue about what was going on it seems. It's disappointing. I REALLY want the 3-cell battery for every-day use instead of using this huge honking 6-cell when I don't really need it until I'm out on the road. HP should definitely be taking this into consideration for future accessories w/ this laptop. And by future, I mean the very near future...

Sooner or later, if the Mini proves successful enough, 3rd party vendors will step in.

No good. The only reference about a battery for the mini-note was the 'realtime clock battery' - whatever that is... They are clueless. They did not have the mini-note in the system as they kept asking if the laptop was a Pavillion or another HP laptop...
