My new Gadget : HP Mini Note 2140
Finally I bought ultra-light notebook or commonly known as mini notebook HP Mini Note 2140 with 6 cell battery and 10.1 inch screen at Device Vaganza, an event which was hold by my Company four days ago. At that event, I was given extra discount by the seller for buying that mini notebook so I just need to pay at price USD 450 with exchange rate at that time was 1 USD = 10,400 IDR while the normal price in the market is USD 585. That means I save USD 135 for this case. ![]()
The packets which were received along with mini notebook were soft case bag and another big bag from HP.
My mini notebook is powered by Intel® Atom™ Processor N270 (1.6 GHz, FSB 533, Cache 512 KB) with memory 1GB DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz. The maximum memory for this mini notebook is actually 2 GB but when I asked the seller if I want to add the additional memory, they said that I should go directly to their office as they do not bring the additional memory, so I decided to cancel for this one. ![]()
The storage for this notebook is 160 GB Hitachi Hard disk 5400 RPM SATA with Drive Guard Technology (HP’s 3D DriveGuard accelerometer) which able to loc the ring of the hard disk when there is any vibration. The graphic card is powered by Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 DVMT 64 MB which shared from memory. For Connectivity, this notebook have WIFI Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g which can support the data rate up to 300Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet, and also have Bluetooth wireless technology .
This HP Mini Note has surface covered by professional-looking aluminum and magnesium-alloy that make this mini notebook different with the other mini notebook. The screen size is 10.1 inch with resolution 1024×576. At the up of the screen, we can find VGA webcam as built in. This notebook also have nearly full sized keyboard with nearly similar to standard Notebook (92% of standard keyboard). The touch pad buttons is on the left and right instead of underneath and the touch pad can be deactivated or activated by on/off button. At front side of this mini notebook, we can find power button, drive light, and wireless button. On the left side we can find USB port, vent, and audio in/out jack while in the right side we can find Express Card Slot, SD card reader, USB port, LAN Port (RJ45), power connector, battery light, and also loc slot.
HP Mini Note 2140 which I bought is using Windows XP Home as Operating System with 60 days trial of MS Office 2007 and trial of antivirus Mc Afee Total Protection for 30 days. With six cell battery, this mini notebook can be used without recharge for approximately 5 hours. At first time, the 160 GB SATA Hard disk is not being partitioned so there is whole 160 GB as Drive C. When I tried to make partition, I could not get the result as I expected. :sad: I don’t know why this 160 GB cannot be partitioned using standard method of partitioning windows XP. Then, I tried to use Partition Magic but I still cannot make partition. After that, my Friend suggest me to use EPM (Easeus Partition Master), a free partition software which look similar with partition Magic. By this software, finally I successfully make partition on my 160GB Hard disk into two partition, 25 GB as Drive C and 124 GB other as Drive D. ![]()

Tawangmangu adalah sebuah kecamatan di sekitar lereng Gunung Lawu, Kabupaten Karanganyar, Jawa Tengah. Tempat tersebut kira-kira berjarak 1.5 jam perjalanan (50 Km) di sebelah Timur Kota Solo. Di Tawangmangu tersebut sebenarnya banyak dijumpai tempat wisata antara lain candi sukuh, candi cetho, air terjun jumog, dll, namun yang paling banyak dikunjungi dan paling popular adalah Air Terjun Grojogan Sewu. Air Terjun Grojogan Sewu terletak di sebuah hutan wisata yang masih asri dan alami. Meski cuma berjarak sekitar 1.5 an jam dari rumahku, namun aku baru 2 kali ke sana. Satu saat masih Taman Kanak-kanak alias TK, dan satu lagi kemarin hari Sabtu, 6 Juni 2009. Kami ke sana naik bus umum tujuan terminal Tawangmangu. Sekedar informasi, bus umum yang tujuan ke sana setiap hari sekitar 40 kali frekuensinya dan ternyata tidak ada yang menggunakan AC. Namun tenang saja, udara di daerah sana sejuk dan dingin sehingga tidak perlu AC lagi. Jalan menuju terminal Tawangmangu sangat banyak kelokan tajam dan curam dengan disamping kanan-kiri jalan tersebut banyak yang berupa jurang dan atau areal persawahan yang terlihat hijau dan subur. Setelah sekitar 1.5 jam perjalanan akhirnya kami sampai di Terminal Tawangmangu. Terminal ini sudah banyak perubahannya, terminal yang dulu semrawut sekarang sudah lebih tertata dan tidak terlalu menimbulkan kemacetan lagi. Juga pasar tradisional yang ada di depan pasar ternyata sudah menjadi pasar yang semi modern dan lebih tertata teratur juga. Dari Terminal Tawangmangu ini, kami melanjutkan dengan naik angkot untuk menuju Air Terjun Grojogan Sewu. Jarak objek wisata Air Terjun Grojogan Sewu cuma sekitar 800an meter dari Terminal Tawangmang. Jarak pintu loket dengan jalan raya utama sekitar 200an meter dan tidak ada petunjuk jalan atau plang pengumuman di jalan raya yang memberi tahu bahwa belokan jalan itu adalah belokan jalan menuju Objek Wisata.
