The HP Mini 2140 notebook is a new mini notebook from HP which is a replacement and an update for the original HP 2133 Mini-Note. The HP Mini 2140 notebook is a business class notebook and it comes with a magnesium and aluminum alloy case.

The HP Mini 2140 notebook has a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM memory and a 160 GB hard drive. This combination of power and storage capacity makes this notebook a real competitor for many other notebooks from the same category. The 10.1 inch display with a native resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels allows you to watch movies without connecting an external monitor to it.

The glossy and bright display is very attractive but this can be a problem because it reflects the object in front of it when you use it outdoors or into a powerfully lit room. And just like other glossy surfaces, this is a magnet for fingerprints and dust so you must clean it every time you use it.

The keyboard on the HP Mini 2140 notebook is full-sized with flat and large keys so you can type on them without problems. Like the other models of HP notebooks, the keys offer a positive feedback. There can be only one problem. On the keyboard you will see only one “Fn” taste which is very important for a laptop. But thanks to the space between keys you can easy type on the correct keys.

The touchpad is quite small but it is very sensitive and will respond even to the weakest touch. The smooth surface of the touchpad offers a pleasant sensation when you touch it. There is but one single problem: it doesn’t support multi-touch. If you want to scroll a page you have a strip on the right side of the touchpad.

The integrated speakers on the HP Mini 2140 notebook are loud and clear so you don’t need to plug in an external speakers set. The integrated microphone is very receptive and the integrated 1.2 Megapixels webcam allows you to make video calls and stay in touch with your friends, even to take photos or record clips. The 3-cell battery will keep this notebook up for 2 hours and 12 minutes on stressful test conditions. The battery performance is not that bad but for an ultraportable we expected to see more.

If you are concerned with connectivity, this model comes with only 2 USB ports, a VGA out port, an Ethernet port, a 56k modem port, a Bluetooth adaptor and the usual headphones and microphone jacks – quite impressive considering the size of the unit. The Wireless and the Bluetooth adaptors will help you stay in touch with your friends anywhere you are.

The HP Mini 2140 notebook comes with 60 days trial of Microsoft Office and McAfee Total Protection pre-installed. The Desktop zoom feature is very useful on this kind of notebook because it helps you adjust the icons and font sizes so you can read without problems. The price of this notebook is $499. Even if the HP Mini 2140 isn’t the cheapest notebook, we recommend you buy this model because it is definitely worth the money.
