HP Mini 2140 @ CES 2009

CES 2009 Fri Day 2 494

While visiting the HP booth at CES 2009, we briefly checked out the newly announced HP Mini 2140 – a 10 inch netbook designed for the mobile professional in mind. A couple of things definitely stood out for us.

  1. The fit and finish stood out. No plastic chassis here folks – a beautiful aluminum alloy finish truly befitting a mobile professional netbook
  2. The 1366 x 768 resolution display – a nice change from the standard 1024 x 600 resolution display. It’s almost the perfect resolution for a display measuring 10 inches
  3. Can’t complain about the keyboard design – as always an excellent feel from an HP netbook
  4. It has an ExpressCard/34 slot – just like the Lenovo IdeaPad S10
  5. 8 hour battery life – very nice

The one downside? The damn touch-pad buttons that are still to the left and right of the touch-pad.

Finally, here’s a new review of the netbook from the folks at PC Magazine. They had this to say about the system:

“The HP Mini 2140 offers a larger screen and more advanced parts than its HP 2133 Mini-Note predecessor, while keeping the sexy design intact. But it’s pricier than other netbooks—for now.”
