The HP Mini 2140 has a keyboard that is comfortable expanding to write and is closer, you can access a full-size keyboard on your netbook 10'now. In this review we check the Mini 2140, this time with the possibility of higher resolution screen.
The HP Mini 2140, like last year Mini-Note 2133, has a great design. Everyone agrees that our office ultraportable laptop has a solid chassis and attractive. The brushed aluminum case and plastic is durable and hides fingerprints. It also keeps the Mini 2140 lightweight, weighs about 2.4 pounds depending on configuration. The appeal of elegant business feels at home in the corporate world, but the Latitude D620 Battery is targeted at students. A look at the machine and can see why.
HP was smart to keep the design relatively stable from 2140 to 2133. Nothing in the Mini 2140 feels cheap. The chassis is solid thanks to a combination of aluminum alloy support frame, plastic and magnesium inside. Most of the 10.1'display is beautiful and easy to read inside, despite making some important reflections outdoors thanks to the protective layer. The Mini 2140 comes with enough ports and storage capacity (with a record 160 GB hard disk) could also consider using this netbook as a guest professional.
As mentioned above, the keyboard is almost full size. It is 92% full size keyboard, which is pretty impressive for a small form factor. And 'more comfortable typing on the keyboard found on most 10-inch netbook. However, the touchpad can be difficult because the positioning of the touch pad on the left and right are left and right, instead of the touch screen. As you can see from the photos of this review, the Mini 2140 also has the power to purify and Wi-Fi switch that lights up and changes from blue to orange when the free time.
The ultra low voltage VIA processor, last year HP Mini-Note 2133 has generated more heat than you would expect ultra low voltage processors. Temperatures in the new Mini 2140 are thankfully much, thank you so much more convenient to use the Intel Atom. Temperature measurements from the outside aluminum and plastic chassis rarely peaks above 95 degrees Fahrenheit ... compared to well above 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the previous generation.
The cooling fan is usually at low speeds in our tests and rarely increased to full speed. Most of the time, you can not hear the fan in an office environment in complete silence ... unless you put your ear close to the exit of the fan.
Battery
Battery life with optional 6-cell Inspiron 1501 Battery has been great for the average traveler who needs to work anywhere without wondering why they could plug in our test with screen brightness at 70%, wireless active, and XP profile made laptop / notebook system remained for 5 hours and 26 minutes. If the battery is what we are concerned about the Asus Eee PC 1000HE is 7 hours and 36 minutes of battery life but does not include an optional high-resolution screen.
Conclusion
The HP Mini 2140 is a very solid netbook that offers a keyboard instead of something condensed that might be incredibly difficult to write for long periods of time. He courted last time we checked, and you get the same response again as it offers a higher resolution screen. The other alternative at this time for a screen resolution seems comparable A1185, the initial price of $ 899 or the Dell Mini 10 to $ 484 for a similar configuration. Our main complaint of this model is the layer of shiny plastic on the screen, adding brightness and a trap for dust. This is an aesthetic change that look great on paper and in pictures, but in real life becomes more trouble than it's worth it. Overall we were impressed by the excellent battery life, great build quality (except dust), and the starting price of $ 479 for the configuration we reviewed. If the HP Mini 2140 offered with a smooth, matte or glossy LCD cover, to promulgate best netbook money could buy. With the lid still a great netbook, but it loses some of its charm.
