HP has introduced the Mini 2140, an updated Mini-Note 2133 version, with a 10.1-inch LED backlit screen. Priced at $500 (Rs. 24,000 approx.), Mini 2140 will be showcased at the CES 2009 and will be available later this month. It might take a while for it to hit the Indian markets.


 


 


 


Apple's aluminum unibody manufacturing technology seems to have inspired a lot of other notebook makers. HP Mini 2140 is identical to the Mini-Note 2133, has an all aluminum casing, and weighs 2.6 pounds. The Mini 2140 notebook features a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor unlike the Mini-Note 2133, which features a 1.2GHz Via C7-M processor. Also, the netbook has a scratch resistant 10.1-inch HP Illumi-Lite LED backlight screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio offering standard definition (1024x576) or high definition (1366x768) pixel resolutions.


 


 


 


The Mini 2140 offers storage options of a 160GB HDD or a 80GB SSD. It features the HP 3D DriveGuard software and a three-axis digital accelerometer chip that shuts down the PC if the computer undergoes a sudden shock. It also offers the user a choice of operating systems, the Windows Vista, SuSE Linux, or FreeDOS. For a lightweight configuration, the netbook packs in a three-cell battery and for operations requiring a longer battery life a six-cell battery option is available. Other specifications include WLAN, Bluetooth 2.0, and a VGA webcam. The Mini 2140 has a full ExpressCard/54 slot unlike Lenovo S10's small ExpressCard/34 slot.


 


Currently priced at $500 (Rs. 24,000 approx.), the price might shoot up a bit when it reaches the Indian markets, Mini 2140 is expected later this month.
