Why I Bought My HP Mini 2140

Written By:  on July 25, 2010 No Comment

I just my brand new HP Mini 2140 and I’m obsessed with it. Now I’ve never been more excited surfing the net from my bed, kitchen, bathroom, and of course wifi coffee shops. Got it for P23,995 (roughly $430) from Villman Computers in Robinson’s Pioneer.

For me HP will always be HP in terms of reliability and was a hands down choice compared to the Asus EEE PC and Acer Aspire netbooks

The Mini 2140 Specs are as follows:

10.1 TFT screen

Silver-gray finish

92% of the full keyboard (this netbook has the biggest keyboard for my big fingers)

Shock Protection, anti-spill keyboard

2gb memory after upgrading from 1gb for P1,000 ($20)

160gb hard disk

3 cell battery giving mg around 3 hours of surfing time

Windows XP OS

Intel Atom Duo

What’s in my Mini 2140? Google Chrome!

Now I’m officially a Google Chrome fan. In fact, I’m even typing this blog entry via Chrome. :) Why is this perfect for my HP Mini 2041?

1) No Menu Toolbars! Gives more space for browsing!

2) Speed! Faster than Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox

3) Has the security features and tab features of Firefox. :)

What more can I ask for? Google Chrome and my HP Mini are now the best of friends.

Download now! Go to http://www.google.com/chrome

What are the essential installations in my Mini 2140?

I’ve been using my Netbook for about a week now. So far so good! It has really been worth it! I’ve already downloaded a lot of emulator games, posted a lot of pictures, surfed countless hours, and downloaded music albums!

Here are my Top 5 recommended installations in your Mini 2140:

a) VLC Media player - runs faster with less resources! Plays pretty much any video and music available.

b) Google Chrome - Gives more screen space for surfing. See more details in my previous post! :)
c) Fox it reader - uses less resources than Adobe PDF

d) Open Office instead of MS Office - Definitely more convenient and Faster!

e) Meebo - All in 1 IM software. Compatible with most IM softwares.

Hope you’ll have fun with your Mini Laptop as much as I did! :) Cheers!

      I review. I have updated memory or Windows startup. I think it's the only right way to consider it. Let me say that booting Windows Seven is terrible.

      This field has little power to run our phone system MagicJack (24 / 7) and sip a small amount of electricity in the process. If a computer consumes 10 times the kWh ... welcome the electricity bill to see the difference.

Prices eventually became the reason we bought this computer. It is not designed to run games, but...  Read more HP Mini 210-1010NR reviews

      I thought about buying a 10 "netbook for a while 'and finally did, I just had a couple of days, but already I feel that is exactly what I wanted to travel. It' s so small, but still usable, and I like the red, has only 1 GB of memory and 250GB hard drive.

      Waiting for this device and grabbed it, when on sale for $ 399,000 CAD. Only a week had a few problems, but so far have given me second thoughts keep.

No Bluetooth using a USB port with a dongle that often interfere with other devices such as USB or their drivers.
