amazon HP Mini 2140 reviews

While the netbook market and ultraportable laptops are slowing, HP decided to introduce the Mini 2140. This netbook looks more entrepreneurial than the regular mini laptop with a 10.1-inch screen. Large keyboard, wide storage space and some other technical specifications.

In a nutshell, the HP Mini 2140 looks quite similar to the 2133, just different in size. The initial feel that this product is quite solid and a bit attractive.

HP made the right choice while retaining the design of the 2133 in the new lineup. The aluminum edges and plastic cover help the 2140 avoid the cheap feeling but make the machine slightly (weight about 0.9 kg). Not only that, the frame is also very solid with a combination of aluminum, plastic and magnesium alloy.

The screen is much bigger than a netbook (10.1 inches), giving you easy-to-see and easy-to-follow information. In addition, the 2140 also fully supports universal connectivity and a comfortable storage space of up to 160 GB.

Compared to many other 10-inch netbooks, the HP mini 2140’s LCD screen has many advantages, such as its large, compact size and good color and contrast. However, it does not have a wide viewing angle.

In addition, the screen resolution is only 1,024 x 576 pixels, while the 2133 version last year reached 1,280 x 768 pixels. Low parameter makes it easy to read small text, but in return, the entire screen can not be displayed at the same time but must use the slider.

In addition, the LCD screen has a protective layer of plastic, so it is prone to reflect light in bright sunlight.

The 2140’s keyboard is the best in the 10-inch line. Not only large in size, silver paint also helps to avoid dust. Besides, the keys are quite light to feel comfortable to touch.

Keyboard size is 92% of the keyboard on a regular laptop, so typing text on this machine is convenient. However, the trackpad is small, so it’s a bit cramped for the operation. The two right and left mouse buttons on the two sides are more inconvenient than the position under the trackpad like a regular laptop.

The performance of the Atom processor in the HP mini 2140 is not as expected. In fact, its performance is not equal to netbooks with other Atom chips, such as Asus N10, Eee PC 1000 HA, Lenovo IdeaPad S10, Acer Aspire One. However, the graphics processing capabilities as well as the configuration of the 2140 are superior to these machines.

The loudspeaker of the 2140 is quite beautiful, but not as impressive as the 2133. The HP removed the large speaker at the front of the monitor and replaced it with a smaller pair on the body. The sound is quite weak and not enough for the effect of web surfing, chat …, but in return, listening to the headphone again acceptable.
