HP has just unveiled its latest creation for the new generation of mobile users – the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC or HP Mini for short. Said to be a first of its kind, the HP Mini is HP’s smallest notebook PC to date, and is designed for ultra-mobile users who demand greater portability so they can bring their PC everywhere they go.
As HP’s first 8.9 inch WXGA widescreen ultra-mobile mini notebook, the HP Mini has a simple yet refined design that features one of the largest usable QWERTY keyboard and touchpad for a superior computing experience. Weighing in at only 1.19 kg, the HP Mini has a sleek anodised aluminium casing with a durable magnesium alloy structure As an added security measure, there are no visible screws on the notebook to prevent tampering and thereby enhancing its aesthetics at the same time. Other features include: · An optional integrated VGA Webcam that allows for still-image capture, web conferencing, and video-enhanced instant messaging on the go · Built-in speakers and microphones · Full wireless features with a choice of Wi-Fi Certified WLAN1 and Bluetooth® · Extended Battery life with two battery solutions – the standard 3-cell battery for lightest-weight configurations (2 hours and 15 minutes); or 6-cell version for longer battery life (4 hours and 30 minutes) · HP DuraKeys, featuring a clear coating applied over the notebook keyboard that protects the finish and the printed characters; makes it 50 times more resistant to wear than other keyboards · HP 3D DriveGuard, which sends a signal to shut down the hard drive to protect its data upon sudden movement or shock, thanks to its three-axis digital accelerometer
