Just when we thought HP had moved on, what with the Mini 1000 getting all the love these days, HP has returned to its original Mini-Note 2100 series of netbooks with the 2140. Supposedly aimed at businesses, the new netbook loses that sluggish VIA C7-M of its predecessors and replaces it with -- you guessed it -- a
1.6GHz Atom processor. There's also a
80GB or 160GB hard drive onboard and a
10-inch screen available in 1366 x 768 and 1024 x 567 resolutions, plus that lovable
ExpressCard / 54 slot hasn't gone anywhere, but the machine remains otherwise mostly unchanged. Prices start at
$499 for the base model, and OS choices include XP Home / Pro, SuSe Linux, FreeDOS and Windows Vista Home Basic / Premium. The laptop is certainly a nice step up over the Mini 1000, but we sure could use a bit more power under the hood. You know, for business.
-EngadgetIsn't this what everyone with a Mini 2133 wanted? The same hi-res screen and sleek aluminum casing with a speedy Atom processor. I can't wait to load this thing up with Windows 7
