With thin, striking designs, the new models are engineered to provide an unsurpassed customer experience:

HP Mini 210 – Not just pretty, but pretty powerful
Starting at 1.22 kilos (with HDD)(3) and measuring less than 1-inch thin, the HP Mini 210 is available in a colourful choice of stylish Black Crystal, Silver Crystal or Pacific Blue HP Imprint finishes.
With a 10.1-inch diagonal standard or optional BrightView Infinity HD LED widescreen display and an island-style keyboard that is 93 percent of a full-size QWERTY keyboard, the new HP Mini 210 is designed for those who surf the web, check email, listen to music and need access to people or information while on the go. The companion PC also features a built-in WLAN, webcam and microphone(1). Enjoy more than 9.5 hours of battery life(4) of freedom and fun, and connect with optional 3G broadband connectivity and GPS-ready system.
New software enhances the HP Mini 210 PC’s multimedia experience and makes it even easier to access offline content and update files on the go, anytime and anywhere:
— Access your music, photos and documents from anywhere with HP Cloud Drive – Allows users to access their synchronised content – including documents, photos and music – from the cloud without having to store it on a local drive.
— On-demand access to your media with HP MediaStream – Allows users to stream multimedia content from one PC to another over the Internet, without requiring data to be downloaded.
— Keep your music in sync with HP QuickSync software – Automatically synchronises files created or edited on the road with a home or business PC over a wireless connection when connected to the same network.(2)
— Access the Internet in an instant with HP QuickWeb – Allows users to access the web without booting up the notebook by simply pushing a button. In seconds, users have a connection to the Internet and can access websites and other content that normally requires a standard browser, as well as photos, music and more.(5)
In addition to viewing HD content on the Internet, users can experience their own personal multiplex via an optional Broadcom® Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerator, which allows users to enjoy up to 1,080-pixel HD content.(6,7)
The HP Mini 210 supports up to 2 gigabyte (GB)(8) of memory and large hard drive options up to 320 GB(9), offering plenty of space to store movies, music, applications and files. A convenient, built-in VGA port allows users to connect to an external monitor, while a five-in-one digital media slot allows users to transfer files easily from various memory formats and amplify their entertainment experience anytime, anywhere.
Powered by an Intel Atom processor N450 with 1.66 GHz, the HP Mini 210 offers configure-to-order options on a number of features.(10)
