    HP actually did everything right with the current Mini 2140. The netbook was equipped with a massive aluminium chassis , which helps the device reaching an excellent stability , and also provides a great feel. Read more

    The HP Mini 2140 keeps everything we loved about the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC—the sturdy aluminum shell, the comfortable keyboard, the compact dimensions—and fixes its shortcomings (SuSe Linux OS, smallish screen). Read more

    • Outstanding keyboard, Sleek, handsome design, Noticeably smaller than other 10-inch netbooks, Active hard drive protection
    • Small text not reproduced as dark black on screen, Below-average battery life

    Third time’s a charm? HP tries yet again to crack the netbook market, and its third endeavor is its best entry yet. Read more

    • ExpressCard and SD media reader slots. Amazing battery life. Exceptional design aesthetics. Loaded with features trickling down from higher-end laptops.
    • Touchpad too far south; flush design means fingers keep slipping off the bottom. Side-mounted buttons still too awkward for extended use. More expensive than a netbook should be.

    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. Read more

    I plan to upgrade from 1GB to 2GB along with a 32GB SSD drive (from Newegg.) I plan to use this for remove office access. Although XP home is nice, I plan to upgrade to Windows 7 with the new SSD. Read more

    • Excellent netbook. Form, fit and function are great. I believe the quality is outstanding. I purchased the 1366 x 768 resolution model and it's great for the intended netbook app's: web browsing, mail and other light app's...
    • I purchased this model from HP direct since the higher res screen was just released. The preconfigured model shipped quickly. I wanted a 3 cell battery, but was forced to buy the 6 cell configuration. The 6 cell protrudes ...

    HP has a reputation for abandoning users if their production doesn't meet internal goals. I own a couple of HP iPAQ products that seemed like state of the art, but suffered from software bugs. Read more

    Great machine hard to fault. Especially when you are going for cheap and light. Like a lot of people I use Office, Outlook and a Browser 90 percent of the time and rate my laptops on their size (the smaller the better.) Would... Read more

    • Does the biz with Atom processor, XP not Vista, and a great keyboard.
    • It is a compromise, less horsepower than a full size machine and a screen that will eventually wear out middle aged eyes.
