I actually just ordered the Mini 2140 (with the new hi def screen) and have read a lot of reviews already, but I still found yours to be very helpful. Have you written your "full" review of all the features yet? If so, I'd love to read that one too--please post the link! Great review, Anita!

You can find cheaper ones, but for the whole package you won't find better. The HP 2140 is the best of the netbooks for business people.

I can slip it into my purse and take it to lunch with me. I don't know what I'd do without it now. I love my mini Everex computer. I can slip it into my purse and take it to lunch with me.

A couple of people asked me why I didn't do video. Maybe I will do a video when I write the review. While it takes me longer to put together a post like the one above, it's faster, actually, for you to read and view photographs. It would have taken 30 minutes for you to view a video from start to finish covering the same amount of ground. Plus I really think it's more interesting to read and see the photos. I've viewed some of those "unboxing" videos. After 2 or 3 minutes of excruciating video footage of someone wielding a box cutter and getting no farther than cutting through the packing tape, I'm about to jump out of my skin with impatience. Trust me, the above post is much more interesting and fast moving! :) -- Anita I’m glad everyone is enjoying the photo montage.

This is really cool. Great writeup and explanation about your experience Anita. I enjoyed this product review more than most. And the size of that netbook, amazing. Trimming down for travel is so essential. Wow. This is really cool. Great writeup and explanation about your experience Anita. I enjoyed this product review more than most.

I too am amazed by the battery life, that's impressive. You'll have to report back after your next trip with it and let us know how it worked for your needs.

I know how to type pretty well by touch without looking at the keys, but I am not very fast. I have learned how to place my hands, but I have my own version of using the "qwerty" keyboard. I am looking for the crisp feel as you describe, that's why I liked the old IBM typewriters. How many characters do you type per minute? :) It could be handy dandy when you write tweets (140 characters)! ;) I had typewriting in high school.

So, as you can see the keys don't depress as deeply as a regular keyboard, but there's something about the feel that makes it easy to know that you've hit the key and it "took". I type by touch and type very fast, and I rely on that crisp feel. I don't like a keyboard where the touch is too soft because it makes it harder to tell whether my keystroke registered.

That looks pretty slick and I'm impressed with the memory capabilities, as well, and the extended battery. That was a smart choice. Enjoy it and have fun - it looks very cool!
