The HP Mini 2140 rises above the majority of the netbook competition by incorporating a well-designed keyboard, a durable design, and more than seven hours of battery life.

In the burgeoning ranks of netbook portables, each seemingly more impressive than the last, the HP Mini 2140 manages to stand out. It has a winning design and feature set, yet it doesn’t command a price premium.

HP has assembled a compelling package that could go toe-to-toe with the Asus N10Jc. But like Asus’s heavyweight netbook, the HP Mini 2140 in its premium configuration bears a price tag that approaches what you’d expect to find on a good all-purpose machine like the Sony VGN-NR485.

As it stands now, if you’re willing to put up with the lower resolution screen the HP Mini 2140 is probably the best netbook on the market. However, if you’re willing to wait for HP to offer a higher resolution screen later this year you will be even happier.

By keeping its original look intact, the HP Mini 2140 has a slight design edge on its competitors. The HP Mini 2140 has more to offer in accessories than most netbooks, giving it an advantage there as well. The MSI Wind gives you the best bang for the buck, but if the 2140 can match it in price, it will become the netbook to beat.
