HP Mini is a former line of small computers categorized as netbooks manufactured by Hewlett-Packard.
[7] A similar but cheaper model named the HP Compaq Mini 700 will also be available in some regions with different cosmetics.
Both models feature stereo speakers, a webcam, and a single audio jack for both mic and headphones.
An 802.11b/g wireless NIC (Broadcom BCM4312) is included for Wi-Fi, while Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and a built-in HSDPA modem are options.
[12] The Mini 110 laptops have a different case, similar to compact palmtops models (in early versions) or a regular affordable netbooks (last releases).
This netbook was the first to use the Nvidia Ion platform, which allows hardware acceleration of high-definition video and increased gaming performance.
[13] The laptop can be customized with either the Intel Atom N270 or N280 and uses the nVidia GeForce 9400M G graphics used in the ION platform.
The new components are a 1.6 GHz single-core Intel Atom processor, a 10.2-inch "standard definition" or "high definition" (1024×576 or 1366×768 pixel) LED-backlit LCD display (with a glass cover and acrylic coating), an Intel GMA 950 graphics adapter, and a 160 GB HDD (5400 or 7200rpm) or 80 GB eMMC-based solid-state drive.
Operating systems available are similar to those for the Mini-Note 2133: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, FreeDOS, Windows Vista (Home Basic or Business), Windows XP Home (only on 1 GB RAM models) or Professional (through downgrade rights from Vista Business).
The updated machine was initially available in various configurations with prices starting at $499USD for a system with the "standard definition" display, hard disk drive, 1 GB of RAM, and 3-cell battery, without Bluetooth or 802.11n support, running Windows XP Home.
A review by Laptop Magazine (of a system with a 1024×576 pixel display and 2 GB of RAM running Windows XP) has complimented HP for addressing common criticisms of the earlier model.
The reviewer notes that the Mini 2140 produced much less heat, although the underside did become warm, and had much improved battery life compared to the Mini-Note 2133.
A few days later, a black notebook of otherwise similar appearance called the "HP Mini 1000" was informally revealed by a banner on the company's store, and officially announced on the 29 October 2008.
Compared to the HP Mini 210, it had advanced features like touch screen, Intel Atom N550 Processor.
