Acer AOD250-1838 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
Why I Bought My HP Mini 2140
Image : http://www.flickr.com
I just bought 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!
