HP is known for putting a lot of effort into being the number one provider of low cost netbooks. So far they have released two netbooks. The HP mini 2130, and the HP mini 2140.
With Netbooks being so small in size, they are prone to abuse. HP has a solution for this problem by building both their HP mini laptops on a solid magnesium alloy chassis. It also sports a brushed aluminum top. This is quite a difference from the other netbooks on the market, which can at times feel ‘toy-like’ with their flimsy plastic.
The one downside to having a stronger and sturdier build is that it adds a little bit of weight to the netbook. It still weights a lot less than a full sized notebook, but it does weigh more than a traditional netbook. The 2140 comes in as the heaviest netbook, weighing in at 3 pounds.

The Hp mini 2140 impressively sports one of the larger keyboards on the low cost netbook range. It is 29% the size of a standard keyboard, making adapting to a smaller computer a little either. It even has a full sized shift key on the right side of the keyboard. Also, the keys are protected with Hp Durakeys. Durakeys is a clear coating that protects the finish as well as the printed characters on the keys. This allows the keyboard to look new even after years of heavy typing.
Many people have complained about the mouse pad on the HP mini netbook. The mouse pad is designed with the mouse buttons on both side of the mouse pad. It is different then what many netbook and notebook users are accustomed to, so the change can be very frustrating at first.
So here is a quick look at the specifications of HPs latest release, the HP Mini 2140:
- CPU: Intel Atom Processor N270 (1.60 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache, 533 MHz FSB)
- Memory: 1 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (Max 2GB)
- Hard Drive: 160GB 5400/7200 rpm SATA; 80GB Solid State Drive
- Display: 10.1-inch diagonal HP Illumi-Lite LED SD; 10.1-inch diagonal Illumi-Lite LED HD
- Integrated Camera: VGA Camera

- Battery: 3-cell (28 WHr) high capacity Lithium-Ion; 6-cell (55 WHr) high capacity Lithium-Ion.
So in the end, there isn’t a lot about the HP mini notebooks that separate them from the rest of the netbooks on the market, but they have proven to be more durable, and in the fast pace world we live in that can come in very handy. It is nice to be able to put your netbook in your bag and not have to worry about it getting crushed with a least amount of pressure. The Hp netbooks are definitely worth looking into.
