For on-the-go professionals, the HP Mini 2140 features an all-aluminum case. The Mini weighs in at 1.19 kg and comes with a 10.1 inch scratch-resistant LED display — available in standard or high-definition resolutions, a user-friendly 92 percent full-size keyboard and a range of hard drive options. The keyboard has a clear coating that protects the finish, printed letters and characters, offering 50 times more resistance to visible wear than keyboards without it. Protection of a different sort is provided by the HP 3D DriveGuard. This three-axis digital accelerometer chip sends a signal to shut down the hard drive upon sudden movement or shock.
The HP Mini 2140 is based on the Intel Atom processor and it includes a suite of wireless technologies such as integrated Wi-Fi Certified WLAN and optional Bluetooth 2.0. An integrated VGA webcam allows for easy still-image capture, web-conferencing or video-enhanced instant messaging with no additional hardware to buy or carry. The PC has two battery solutions — three-cell for lightest-weight configurations or six-cell lithium-ion battery for longer life.
New accessories designed for the Mini include an HP USB Docking Station, USB-powered HP Mobile Audio Speakers and an HP USB optical disk drive that can read and write CD and DVD formats, as well as offer HP LightScribe capability to burn content directly onto discs. A lightweight, functional messenger bag designed specifically for the HP or a neoprene slip case offer added protection for professionals while on the go. The HP Mini 2140 starts at AED 1,899.
