Hewlett Packard Mini 2140 Notebook PC
Blog Hewlett Packard's Mini 2140 is one. The Mini 2140 isn't a featherweight at 1.1kg. As I write the HP Mini 2140 is listed at the HP Web site as costing £389 ex VAT. Netbooks are primarily the domain of the consumer world, but there are a couple...

Netbook market? What netbook market?
Blog Comment My HP 2133 Mini-Note is an example of a really good keyboard, and in its successor, the HP 2140, they increased the screen size from 8.9" to 10.1" without changing the basic package. I certainly agree about the "creeping featurism" of what the...
