HP Mini 210 review


Like most other multi-branded global companies, HP makes similar products for their Compaq line-up and prices them a bit cheaper. We’ve seen this done by Acer on their Gateway and eMachines brand. So it’s no surprise that the upcoming HP Mini 210 has a fraternal twin in the name of Compaq Mini CQ10.

So the Mini 210 took some
design inspirations from the Mini 5101, specifically the chiclet-type keyboard.

HP Mini 210
10.1″ display @ 1024×600
Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz
Intel GMA 3150
1GB DDR2 RAM
250GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g
5-in-1 card reader
6-cell battery
Windows 7 Starter


The Pine Trail platform should help bump an additional half an hour to an hour of battery life. The HD model with higher resolution is also available (1280×720 pixels) but as we’ve seen in the past with the Mini 2140 HD, I don’t think it will be distributed locally.
