    HP's Business Netbook Dazzles With Dullness Third time's a charm? HP tries yet again to crack the netbook market, and its third endeavor is its best entry yet. Using the Mini 2133 as a base design (complete with anodized aluminum case, bezel-free LCD, and spacious keyboard), the Mini 2140 has upped the flagship netbook's screen size to 10.2 inches (though HP claims it 10.1), which lets the keyboard grow to 92 percent of full size. Vista has been ditched in favor of XP,... Read more

    Netbooks aren't the bastion of quality and high end features. Sony's Vaio P caters to those who want little compromise in a tiny package, but at a higher price ($899 to $1,199). The HP Mini 2140 sits in between: it's closer to budget netbooks in size and price but adds key features like an aluminum casing for rigidity and good looks, WiFi draft N for faster wireless, Bluetooth (very handy if you wish to use your mobile phone as a modem for the Mini or just want to use a...

    As far as its power reserves are concerned, the HP 2140 is not different from other manufacturer's netbooks. The featured Intel Atom N270 CPU (1.6 GHz) probably is the processor most used for mini notebooks; we can recall that HP used a Via-chip (C7) at 1.2 GHz for the first 9" version, the HP Mini 2133. While Intel was able to almost become the sole supplier for CPUs in netbooks, Via has been able to field a serious competitor with its new nano CPU (used for instance in... Read more

    The HP Mini 2140 is a classy, durable, adaptable machine with much to offer professionals who want to save some cash without compromising performance. The keyboard is great for producing documents, and the long-lasting/quick-charging battery means this netbook is ready to go whenever you are. Only one possible deal breaker exists, and that’s the touchpad. However, it’s nothing you can’t learn to get over, and if it bugs you enough a USB mouse will quickly solve... Read more

    The HP Mini 2140 may just be the best netbook on the market. For a good price, it combines handsome good looks with an outstanding screen and performance that's appropriate for its class. Read more

  1. Portability and Functionality = Awesome

    I own a 17inch Dell laptop computer. I wanted to get something more portable without giving up much in the way of function. This is pretty close. While it takes a bit longer to boot up, once live speed is about the same. Nice product. Read more
