?enough to sell like a commodity, and still have it perform an useful function that fills a real need in the customer's life?The HP Mini 2140 is one of several attempts by major manufacturers to come to market in just the right way to tempt consumers with a product that is all of the above. The HP Mini 2140 comes encased in an attractive aluminum shell that gives it a distinctive look not unlike the look of some Macintosh laptops.This resemblance lends the HP Mini 2140 a degree of fashion credibility, and its design brings it supreme portability. The functionality of the HP Mini is impressive; it retains the 54mm ExpressCard slot and the dinky keyboard from previous incarnations that won the HP Mini high praise for thoughtful design. Compromises have to be made somewhere, and HP makes its design compromise in the touchpad; the narrow cursor trackpad with the buttons on the side are an odd design decision that stands out as a trademark quirk of the HP Mini. The narrow cursor pad is a problem because male users can often find everything rather too small and finicky for normal male-size hands.The HP Mini's heart is an Intel Atom N270 processor, but you hardly notice any performance issues staring at the beautiful screen that has a resolution that touches 1024 x 576. A screen as good as that is undoubtedly going to drain some power, and it would be a good idea to pay extra for the option of a $30 six-cell battery. Without this option, the HP Mini 2140 is unlikely to go past a couple of hours running on battery power. HP's six-cell technology reportedly performs better than competing designs, in addition.Review of the All New HP Mini 2140 Netbook
