HP mini 2140, an almost perfect notebook

Externally, the hero of the material hardly noticeably different from its predecessor - almost the same all-aluminum body beautiful with smoothed corners. Housing love to all, which is not surprising, because we all have to be fed ubiquitous brand and is easily scratched "gloss." The wall thickness of the hull panels in 2140 subjectively seems bigger than the Dell C1295 battery model 2133. The surface also simulates rough handling, which is actually obtained by casting. A similar effect was great to hide fingerprints, and minor scratches, which can leave a sharp metal objects, due to the specific surface is practically invisible.

This item is not made from aluminum, and light gray plastic coated with silver paint. All anything, but my coverage is not very reliable, and after months of operation in the power slider and the inclusion of a wireless interface starts to climb round and paint emerges too visible light plastic. Also, when trying to squeezing and twisting it willingly crackling plastic panel workspace. It would seem that this prevented the manufacture of aluminum parts, and thereby create the perfect body netbook? But fixing the Dell fk890 battery denied even the hint of a backlash that notebooks / netbooks are extremely rare.

In front there are two "sliders" with integrated indicators - power on and enable wireless networks - as well as indicator to the hard drive. The first slider indicator lights up when the Dell Latitude D400 battery notebook light blue, and the second wireless interface when activated - a poisonous blue and orange - when turned off the interface. Day of difficulties because of the indicators are not there, but when working in the dark bright LEDs too much distraction.

Behind much of the surface of the wall is the Dell Inspiron 1300 battery. On each side of the battery installed recessed hinge connecting the massive, because of similar design lid opens fully and not limited to an angle of approximately 135 degrees. From left to set socket D-Sub (VGA), a small ventilation grate, USB with rechargeable mobile devices with the power off, and a pair of standard 3.5mm audio jacks.Right side of the hull not less loaded, there is a socket set lock security slot external power supply, an indicator of the external power supply, communication RJ-45 connector, USB connector and memory cards and expansion cards, ExpressCard 34 mm, the hidden plastic plugs.

Completely flat bottom, no bays are available to the user is not provided. Vents a minimum, however, whether they are necessary in large quantities? Because housing is itself a large heatsink. Rubber feet six pieces - two square and four round the corners, where they cling to the surface very well. For example, on the surface of the lacquered table netbook does not slip even when tilted at an angle of 45-50 degrees. During the operation was discovered one annoying feature - four round legs and is quite easy to tear loose. In our case, one of the legs was lost, but fortunately, not somewhere on the street, in a compartment of the backpack for Dell Inspiron 1520 battery laptops, so the notebook was returned to the test in full completeness.

Under the keyboard button is located off the touch pad and touch pad directly measuring 63h32 mm. Keyboard arm size 11.5 x32 mm, as in the model 2133, mounted on the sides of the touchpad. Not the best location, but thanks to this Dell Inspiron 1545 battery is quite large, and given that the left soft key replaces the very often the touch pad and the right key is not used so often, gradually get used to this arrangement is possible. In the upper left corner of the workspace is set, only one indicator - Caps Lock.
