Disini saya me-review Acer Ferrari One 200 dengan HP Pavilion DV2 1203AU karena keduanya sama-sama ber-Prosesor AMD dan tergolong Notebook Mini AThlon X2, ya karena saya sendiri penggemar Prosesor AMD dan saya lebih suka menggunakan Komputer ber-Prosesor AMD dibandingkan Prosesor Lainnya. Menurut pengalaman saya Prosesor AMD memiliki performa yang bagus untuk pekerjaan2 berat dan harga yang terjangkau. Acer Ferrari One adalah produk keluaran tahun 2009. Tepatnya tanggal 8 Juni 2010 saya membeli ACER FERRARI ONE 200.



Dulunya saya memakai prosesor Intel, sekarang saya sudah pindah ke prosesor AMD. AMD sekarang berbeda denga AMD jaman dulu. kalo dulu AMD konon kabarnya gampang terbakar, AMD sekarang tidak seperti dulu lagi. Saya sudah buktikan sendiri dengan menghidupkan lebih dari 2 CPU berprosesor AMD hidup lebih dari 1 Bulan tanpa mati, Hasilnya baik2 saja sampek detik ini. Buat saya sebelum membeli komputer, saya tentukan prosesor nya dulu, prosesor harus AMD, baru merek yang merakit seperti Acer, hp dan lain lain. Silahkan baca-baca di google tentang reputasi processor AMD sa'at ini. Sudah banyak kok yang membahas tentang kehandalan Processor AMD :-).















Masalah merek Notebook, dulu saya selalu memilih merek DeLL, tetapi sayangnya saya tidak menemukan produk DeLL yang menggunakan prosesor AMD. Selain prosesor, komponen hardware DeLL sangat bagus, semuanya berjalan sangat baik, sepertinya bagian QC perusahaan DeLL sangat ketat demi kepuasan pelanggannya. :-).


Karena patokan pertama saya pada prosesor AMD, akhirnya dengan berat hati saya pindah ke lain hati dari produk DeLL ke merek-merek notebook yang menggunakan Prosesor AMD. Dan Pilihan saya notebook ber-prosesor AMD yang sangat mendukung aktifitas mobile yang sangat tinggi,ringan,tipis,kecil adalah ACER FERRARI ONE.

Sony Siap Meluncurkan atracTable, Mahasiswa Indonesia Sudah Bikin Terlebih Dahulu

Sony siap mengeluarkan produknya yang akan menyaingi Microsoft Surface. Adalah atracTable, sebuah perangkat komputer yang dapat menghilangkan ketergantungan manusia terhadap mouse dan keyboard. Pengguna akan secara langsung berinteraksi dengan komputer dengan cara menyentuh layar.

Dilansir KabarIT dari Electronista, sebuah proto type atracTable yang sudah ada memiliki ukuran 35 inchi dengan fitur layar full HD dengan kontras tinggi. Alat ini dapat mendeteksi pergerakan lengan, jari dan pergerakan tubuh. Terdapat juga fitur yang dapat mendeteksi manusia berdasarkan usia, jenis kelamin, emosi seperti marah, sedih dan gembira.

Alat ini dapat digunakan sebagai media interaksi di tempat-tempat umum dan pertokoan. Alat ini juga dapat berinteraksi dengan perangkat yang diletakkan di atasnya.

Sony didukung perusahaan Atracsys dari Swiss. Alat ini menggunakan dua buah kamera Sony ISS XCD-V60 yang digunakan untuk menangkap gerakan yang dilakukan user. Kamera ini juga sebagai pengganti kontrol mouse dan keyboard. Belum diketahui apakah atracTable dapat melakukan multi touch, tapi secara teori seharusnya bisa.

Indonesia

Sebenaranya alat ini bukan sebuah alat yang baru. Alat ini ternyata juga sudah lama ada di Indonesia, dibuat oleh team dari STMIK AMIKOM Yogyakarta. Interactive Tabel ini pernah mendapatkan juara pertama pada Indonesian ICT Award 2009. Sang innovator bernama Hendro Wibowo mahasiswa STMIK AMIKOM Yogyakarta. Alat yang dibuat Hendro Wibowo ini diberi nama Tiwule (Touch It With Ultimate Learning Experience).

Tiwule v.1, Hendro Wibowo Bersama M. Nuh (Menkominfo saat itu)

Secara teknik dan teknologi dan prinsip pembuatanya, Tiwule hampir sama dengan atracTable. Menggunakan kamera sebagai sensor penangkap gerakan dan proyektor sebagai interfacenya. Tiwule bahkan sudah dapat melakukan multi touch, sehingga dapat �dimainkan� lebih dari satu orang.

Pada versi pertamanya, Tiwule bahkan hanya menggunakan layar LCD biasa sebagai interfacenya dan menggunakan kamera webcam sebagai sensor pendeteksi gerakan. Pada versi pertama biaya pembuatan bahkan tidak lebih dari 3 juta rupiah. MaSuk

Indonesia is located in the Ring of Fire and Gunung Rinjani at 3,726 m is the 2nd highest volcanic peak in Indonesia.

Gunung Rinjani is an active volcano in Indonesia, on the island of Lombok. The most recent eruption was in 1996. According to the locals, fortunately, no one was hurt. People who were fishing at the crater managed to escape unscathed. All the fishes in the crater died.

Gunung Rinjani is surrounded by fields growing rice, soybeans, coffee, tobacco, cotton, cinnamon, and vanilla. The locals lived a very simple and quiet life and the fields are lush and green growing on fertile soils of the island. Gunung Rinjani is well-known for its spectacular crater lake as well as the small cone in the center of the caldera, which looks like a "crater within a crater". The arduous trek is rewarded with a choice of swimming in the crater or in pools of hot springs that can be found near the crater.

The climb to the summit is most scenic but can be a heart-stopping experience. The trek to the summit is covered with volcanic ashes. You end up sliding 3 steps backwards with every step that you take. Hence not many get to catch sunrise. The trek to the summit is exposed and you are at the mercy of the winds. Coupled with the treachery of the volcanic ashes, there have been a few who had fallen victims to nature.

But the view at the top is almost breathtaking. The a crater within the crater lake, greenery from the surrounding forest, and the clear blue sea from the distance, put together a picturesque view. On clear days, you can even see the Gunung Agong from Bali Island.

To the natives, the volcano is revered as a sacred place and abode of deities. The crater lake is the destination of thousand of pilgrims who place offerings in the water and bathe away disease in the hot springs. Not sure whether the area and the people will be able to stand the test of time, amidst the expanding tourism from Bali.

Bali is one of over 17,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago and is located just over 2 kilometers from the eastern tip of the island of Java and west of the island of Lombok. Bali was inhabited by Austronesian peoples by about 2000 BC who migrated originally from Taiwan through Maritime Southeast Asia.

From 9 districts in Bali the most populated and mostly visited by tourist is Badung district.

The rapid growth of development in tourism has had a big impact and influences to Bali tradition and lifestyle. Interestingly, Balinese culture is still as what it was, growing along with the of globalization. It is the Balinese civilization what makes the island different from other destination.

Sanur is located on the east coast of Bali, just 20 minutes north east of the International Airport, and offers a beach-side reality without the crowds. Tourists especially love the white sandy beaches protected by coral reefs making swimming a whole lot safer than in busy Kuta. One of the attractions of Sanur is water sports, including canoeing, surfing (outside Sanur Reef), windsurfing, snorkelling and scuba-diving are all based in Sanur.

Sanur is also home to several luxury villas in Bali. Indulging in a luxury Sanur villa is said as the greatest experience in paradise.

If you have a long holiday to Bali then a little escape will make your holiday even more memorable. The best option for this purpose is Lombok. Separated from Bali with a strait, Lombok is comfortably reachable in a short trip that makes even an overnight escape worth it. I would suggest at least two nights though.

Covered by the shadow of Bali, Lombok is less developed and therefore less crowded compared to Bali, however, it term of holiday facilities, it has anything needed including five-star resort hotels. And in term of holiday attractions, there are no less attractive than Bali.

If Bali has Kuta and Sanur, Lombok has Kuta and Senggigi. If Bali has Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, and Nusa Ceningan, Lombok has Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno. If Bali has Bedugul, Lombok has Puncak Pusuk. If Bali has Mount Agung, Lombok has Mount Rinjani. If Bali has Gitgit Waterfall, Lombok has Sindang Gile, If Bali has ayam betutu, Lombok has ayam taliwang.

Main problem to those thinking to go to Lombok is transportation. So far there are three options, by air, by public ferry, and by fast boat, each with their own drawbacks.

Flight from Bali to Lombok takes a mere 30 minutes by small propeller aircraft. Not that frequently and only available at daylight as the airport in Lombok is not sufficiently equipped for night landings. Small propeller aircraft is a bit less comfortable and even horrible to some. And probably due to the age of the aircrafts, delays and cancellations are almost certain. Price is rather expensive. With the same price you can buy an AirAsia ticket from Bali to Kuala Lumpur.

By public ferry it takes between 4 to 8 hours depending to weather. The ferries are quite large and carry vehicle as well, including large coaches and trucks. Passenger compartment is roughly adequate. Most complains come from the time consumed and in bad weather strong wind and soaring wave can make the trip a horrible one. In Bali, they are embarked from Padang Bai, about one or one and a half hours drive from Kuta.

The last option is popular in the last few years, fast boat. It cuts the trip into only two hours and embarked at Bali's main harbor of Benoa, only 15-20 minutes drive from Kuta. The operators also offer stopovers in fabulous tiny islands including Bali's Nusa Lembongan and Lombok's Gili Islands.

Internet Cepat Dengan Cache DNS di Komputer Lokal

Salah satu solusi yang efektif untuk internet cepat adalah mengurangi waktu loading internet dalam dengan mengutak-atik DNS di localhost atau komputer / PC lokal. Apapun yang kita kerjakan di internet, mulai dari kirim mengirim email, melakukan transfering files ke FTP, membuka facebook, chatting di YM, mengakses web, bahkan koneksi ke VPS, semuanya memerlukan DNS.

Dengan kata lain, DNS adalah bagian / elemen terpenting ketika kita berselancar di dunia maya. Contohnya ada satu kasus di mana orang-orang mengeluhkan lambannya waktu loading internet di flexi, telah ada yang berhasil memecahkan masalah ini dengan menyetel DNS flexi sehingga tampil lebih cepat waktu loadingnya.
Nah, salah satu software yang bisa support kita dalam hal memanage DNS dalam hal cache DNS, store DNS dan segala layer lainnya adalah ExtraDNS.

ExtraDNS akan memotong permintaan DNS dan simpan balasan dalam database cepat diindeks. Kali berikutnya sistem Anda hrs menyelesaikan sama alamat, Tool ini langsung pasokan jawaban dari database-nya. Tidak ada penundaan lebih ketika loading halaman Web atau mengakses mail server. Selain itu, Tool ini mengatasi keterbatasan jendela sistem operasi dan bisa mengelola hingga 10 nameserver yg berbeda.

Bagaimana Tool ini bekerja sehingga jadi solusi internet cepat?

Tool ini memberitahu sistem Anda utk meminta informasi DNS dari
aplikasi Tool ini ketimbang mengirim permintaan keluar ke
Internet. Bila Tool ini menerima permintaan dua kasus yg mungkin terjadi:

1. Entry DNS ditemukan dalam database

- Tool ini akan mengirimkan informasi yg diminta langsung ke aplikasi.
- Namun demikian permintaan akan dikirim ke server DNS Internet.
- Setelah jawaban diterima, Tool ini akan membandingkan jawaban dgn informasi dalam database, dan memutakhirkan setiap catatan jika diperlukan.
Ini memastikan bahwa database cache selalu up to date, dan Anda tidak akan menerima ketinggalan jaman informasi dari cache.

2. Jika tidak ada entri yg cocok ditemukan dalam database

- Tool ini akan mengirimkan permintaan ke semua DNS server yg tersedia dikonfigurasi. Tool ini akan menanyakan semua server secara simultan. Hal ini akan mengakibatkan di lebih cepat jawaban dibandingkan dgn sistem windows standar dimana permintaan adalah kirim ke berikutnya server hanya jika sebelumnya tidak menjawab.
- Aplikasi Anda akan menerima respon dari server pertama merespon.
- Tool ini akan menambahkan informasi ke database-nya.

Dari paparan di atas, salah satu solusi internet cepat masa ini adalah dengan bermain-main di layer DNS, so mungkin masalah anda bisa terpecahkan.

wisata bali

The wave curling on the seashore is addictive. It drives me back over again, to enjoy it with my surfboard. At the end, this is where finally I occupy most of my time. This is all began when I "gave up" my status as one of the Civil Engineering students of Udayana University in Denpasar, Bali. I "lost in space" at that time. I even underwent a job as a cab driver for three months. When I was finally fatigue and bored with my life in Denpasar, I decided to enjoy - and cope with - a life on a well known beach named Kuta.

Surfing finally became my daily routine, and I am a surfer until today. This outdoor activity and its social intercourse brought me to a meeting with a German, and we made friends. This friend of mine had a dream to be a surf photographer. Unfortunately, he gave up his dream. On the other hand, I was in luck. He gave me all of his water photography gears, like camera, lens and housing. It happened in the era of film camera.

After that, I started to learn photography, which was all unknown to me. I did not know anything about photography and its basic skill. Yet, my eagerness to surfing made photography so easy for me to learn. Besides surfing, surf photography was my daily routine. With the only gears I had, I practiced water photography because I captured surfers' action in the water. To create better photos, I kept learning from foreign photographers. Perhaps, that was the beginning of surf photography by a local photographer.

Apparently, obstacles were all in front of me, including of how expensive was the price of a film at that time. However, everything was completely gone through because of my eagerness and loyalty. Day by day, my photo collection got bigger. Because of this, many friends, including the foreign ones, suggested me to make a local surfing tabloid or magazine for Bali/Indonesia, and I succeeded in making it happened. In the year of 1999, the first surfing Indonesian magazine was established, namely Surf Time.

The first edition was published in November in the same year. Unfortunately, it was operating for one and a half year only. Maybe, it was merely because of my mind running too simple. After the Surf Time, a friend from Swiss invested a capital to make the first Indonesian skater magazine, namely Flip. Nonetheless, this magazine was published in three editions only. The reason was clear; we had not enough knowledge in that field. Besides, it is obvious that my world did not belong to skateboarding. The keenness on surfing had pushed me back to establish a medium for surfing community.

Review Singkat HP Pavillion dv2

HP menjual notebook dv2 ini sebagai notebook dibawah US$ 800 yang sudah kita tunggu tunggu karena kombinasi kecepatan dan bentuk yang tidak ada sebelumnya. Benarkah?

Teknologi Baru AMD Berbaju HP Yang Rapih

Pabrik prosessor dan chipset AMD merupakan pemain lama yang selalu menjadi saingan Intel sekalipun skala perusahaannya lebih kecil. Ketika Intel sibuk selama tahun 2008 mempromosikan mini notebook dengan prosessor Intel Atom, AMD tidak mempunyai prosessor hemat listrik yang cocok untuk melawan Intel Atom. Awal tahun 2009 yang lalu AMD menginformasikan bahwa mereka akan berkonsentrasi membuat prosessor untuk notebook tipis 12 - 13 inci dengan kemampuan komputasi dan grafis yang tinggi. AMD menamakan prosessor ini AMD NEO.

Minggu lalu HP Indonesia memperkenalkan notebook 12 inci yang ringkas seri HP Pavillion dv2 dengan prosessor AMD NEO MV-40 dilengkapi kartu grafis dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD3410. Dengan nama Pavillion maka dv2 dikategorikan notebook seri entertainment "performa tinggi dengan harga terjangkau". Mengingat minat beli orang terhadap mini notebook ( netbook ) sangat tinggi, dimana tempat si dv2 ini ? Orang yang ingin notebook kecil dan ringan haruskan tetap memilih netbook ( misalnya HP Mini-Note 2140 dan HP Mini 1000 - 1 hingga 1.3 kg ) atau beralih ke HP Pavillion dv2 yang lebih besar layarnya ( 12.1 inci - 1.79 kg ) demi mengejar performance lebih? Itu adalah yang ingin dicari tahu Tambah.info dalam review singkat dv2 ini.

Mari kita lihat foto foto dari Pavillion dv2:

HP Pavilion dv2 Putih	HP Pavilion dv2 Hitam
tampak depan dv2 Espresso Black	dv2 sudah termasuk external DVD
LAN, VGA, HDMI, USB	DC-in, USB, Audio port, WiFi, Power
Memory, HDD mudah diakses Mendukung 4GB dalam 1 slot memory Baterai di foto adalah 6 cell	Slot untuk 3G modem sudah ada

Pavillion dv2 yang diuji oleh Tambah.info berwarna Hitam. HP memanggilnya warna Espresso Black. Cover magnesium alloynya hitam legam dan mengkilap. Sebenarnya semua bagian atas dan samping Pavillion dv2 mengkilap. Bagian touchpadnya yang berwarna chrome mengkilap tidak ada bedanya dengan cermin. Bagian pinggir keyboard dilapisi oleh bingkai berwarna chrome. Bagian samping tempat port USB / LAN juga berwarna chrome. Bagian bawah untungnya tidak mengkilap. Rongga hard disk, memory, dan WiFi adaptor bisa diakses dari bawah untuk kemudahan upgrade dan service.

Memory slot hanya satu dan sudah terisi keping 1 atau 2 GB memory asli dari HP ( dv2 tersedia dalam 2 pilihan ). Kapasitas memory 4 GB hanya bisa dicapai dengan menukar memory yang sudah ada ke 1 keping memory DDR2 4 GB ( jenis memory ini sudah ada tapi harganya masih mahal sekitar US$ 200 ). Perlu diketahui bahwa OS Windows Vista Premium yang datang dengan dv2 adalah versi 64-bit. Jika nanti anda memakai dv2 dengan memory 4 GB, maka anda bisa mengakses kesemua memory 4 GB ini. Windows Vista 32-bit saat ini terbatasi pengenalan memorynya menjadi sekitar 3.2 GB walaupun anda memasangkan memory sejumlah 4 GB.

Ada satu slot kosong untuk integrated 3.5G modem untuk pemasangan kartu modem PCI-Express kita sendiri. Bila kita benar hendak menambahkan modem kita sendiri, kita kemungkinan harus mengunjungi service center HP karena antena modem harus dipasangkan ke jalur antena yang biasanya disediakan di bingkai layar LCD.

Teknologi Prosessor dan Grafis Baru dari AMD

AMD Neo MV-40 kelasnya lebih tinggi dari AMD Sempron 210U yang digunakan di PC BenQ nScreen dengan cache sebesar 512 kB. Bila prosessor ini dibandingkan dengan AMD Turion X2, misalnya, maka konsumsi listrik MV-40 hanya setengahnya saja. Ini memungkinkan bentuk notebook yang lebih tipis dan konsumsi baterai yang lebih hemat. Keunggulan ini yang dimaksud oleh AMD ketika mereka bermaksud memberikan kemampuan komputasi tinggi di notebook tipis.

Gaming di HP Pavillion dv2

Saat ini bila kita ingin memiliki suatu notebook kecil dengan grafik yang lumayan. Lumayan dalam arti bisa dipakai untuk main game 3D dengan kualitas detail yang masih diterima, maka model yang ada dipasaran tidak banyak. Dulu ada

pilihan Asus U6Sg layar 12 inci seharga US$ 1600+ dan kini sudah tidak dijual lagi. Asus N10 layar 10 inci, prosessor Intel Atom, NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS 256 MB seharga Rp. 7 jt-an adalah model yang cukup populer karena kecil dan kelengkapan graphicsnya. Kini Asus N10 pun sudah tidak dijual lagi. Jadi memang tidak banyak pilihan di pasaran untuk notebook kecil dengan kemampuan graphics yang cukup.

Nah kebetulan sekarang ada dv2 yang salah satu modelnya dipasangkan dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD3410 512 MB. Tam

bah.info melakukan uji coba memakai game Need For Speed - Undercover. Hasilnya: Game bisa dimainkan tanpa lag di

setting "low" di Cars dan World, serta efek "Smoke" dimatikan. Resolusi permainan adalah 1280 x 720.

Game Need For Speed	Razer pad dan mouse - courtesy gamer Handoyo

Dengan harga dv2-1003AX di Rp. 8 jt-an sudah termasuk eksternal DVD-RW, maka calon pembeli yang mencari notebook kecil yang bisa dipakai untuk gaming 3D ringan sekarang punya punya pilihan baru. Akankah orang yang tadinya mempertimbangkan membeli netbook dan tidak lagi mengharap bisa bermain game 3D berpindah ke model model seperti HP Pavillion dv2.

Spesifikasi Unit

Windows Experience Index

dv2 Graphics HD3410 skornya tinggi	Nilai dari Intel Atom integrated graphics

Perhatikan peningkatan yang jauh di angka Gaming Graphics - dv2 angkanya 4.0 dan jauh lebih tinggi dari angka di Intel Atom yang hanya 2.7.

Kecepatan Hard Disk

Kecepatan akses 32.3ms itu agak lambat	Kecepatan baca file file kecil agak lambat

Hard disk Seagate ST9320320AS kapasitas 320GB yang dipasangkan di dv2 termasuk ke hard disk performance menengah dengan kecepatan akses dan kecepatan membaca file file kecil yang tidak terlalu tinggi.

Kelebihan HP Pavillion dv2

• Desain yang bagus
• Graphics ATI HD3410 yang memungkinkan gaming dilayar 12.1 inci seharga Rp. 8jt-an.
• Sudah termasuk DVD-RW Double Layer Lightscribe
• Ada HDMI untuk koneksi ke LCD TV.

Kekurangan

• Serba mengkilap - harus rajin di lap.
• Baterai dengan adanya dedicated graphics akan lebih boros dan tidak bisa sehemat Intel Atom.

Kesimpulan

HP Pavillion dv2 patut dipertimbangkan kita sebagai calon pemakai yang ingin notebook kecil tapi dengan graphics yang memadai untuk gaming. Harganya juga terjangkau.

Review Singkat HP 2140 Mini-Note PC

Setahun berlalu sejak model HP 2133 Mini-Note PC diperkenalkan di Indonesia HP kini mengeluarkan model 2140. Pergantian prosessor dari VIA ke Intel Atom menyelesaikan kekurangan model sebelumnya dan menjadikan 2140 penawaran notebook mini yang kuat.

HP 2133 Mini-Note diperkenalkan HP Indonesia bulan Mei 2008. Pada saat itu notebook kecil dengan harga ekonomis baru ditawarkan oleh Asus Eee PC dan Intel Classmate. Datang HP 2133 Mini-Note PC dengan casing Aluminium, keyboard yang nyaman sekali, layar resolusi tinggi 1280 x 768, serta kelengkapan slot ExpressCard. Penampilannya bagus mendukung pemakaian di lingkungan pengguna perorangan maupun bisnis sekalipun. Tak heran produk ini disambut dengan antusias sekalipun dijual dengan harga premium US$ 699.

Dua kekurangan yang dirasakan untuk model 2133 ini adalah penggunaan Windows Vista yang cenderung terlalu berat untuk prosessor VIA ( pemakaian Windows XP akan membantu ), serta suhu yang agak tinggi ketika dipakai untuk jangka waktu yang lama. Model 2140 dalam pengujian singkat Tambah.info tidak menunjukkan gejala panas berlebihan. Pengoperasian notebook ini dengan sistem operasi Windows XP terasa ringan dan cepat.
Dimensi dan Berat

Jika beberapa notebook mini dideretkan maka HP 2140 bukanlah yang paling ringan atau yang paling tipis. Gelar paling tipis diperebutkan antara Asus Eee PC S101 dengan tipe storage SSD dan HP Mini 1000. HP 2140 yang mencapai 1.27 kg dengan baterai 3 cell termasuk berat juga, mendekati berat Acer Aspire One D250 yang sudah datang dengan baterai yang lebih besar. Artinya bila HP 2140 dipasangkan baterai 6 cell juga ( dijual opsional ), maka dia akan menjadi salah satu notebook mini yang terberat.

Penampilan

HP 2140 Mini-Note PC cukup fleksibel dari segi penampilan dan bisa masuk ke lingkungan bisnis maupun ke lingkungan pemakai umum dan mahasiswa. Bentuk badan notebooknya yang melengkung halus dengan tutup notebook terbuat dari alumunium membuat kesan notebook yang ringkas dan ramping. Keyboardnya luas dan besar. Touchpad dilengkapi tombol di kiri dan kanannya yang cukup besar.

Tersedia ExpressCard/54 dan Opsional Baterai 6 Cell

Tambah.info mengingatkan pembaca bahwa keluarga Mini-Note PC ini adalah mini notebook satu satunya dipasaran yang mempunyai slot ExpressCard/54 untuk konektifitas yang fleksibel ke modem broadband ( 3G, CDMA, WIMAX ) , eSATA, Firewire, TV adapter, dan lainnya. Ada notebook lainnya seperti Lenovo S9 / S10 dan Quantel X10 yang menggunakan lebih kecil yaitu ExpressCard/34. Mini notebook lain tanpa ExpressCard hanya akan tergantung ke port USB yang kecepatannya lebih rendah untuk ekspansi.

Gambar dibawah adalah gambar 2140 dengan opsional baterai 6 cell ( standard nya adalah 3 cell ). Dengan baterai ini kita bisa bekerja lebih dari 5 jam sebelum kita perlu melakukan recharge.

Layar Sinematik 16:9 Resolusi 1024 x 576

Tambah.info menyukai layar Illumi-Lite LED dari HP 2140 Mini-Note dengan format sinematik 16:9 resolusi 1024 x 576 walaupun resolusi 2133 yang lama ( 1280 x 768 ) memang lebih tinggi. Dengan layar yang baru, kita bisa memutar film DVD dan klip film high definition satu layar penuh tanpa bagian hitam.

Sebagaimana sering kita akan menonton film HD di layar 10 inci HP 2140? Mungkin tidak terlalu banyak ( tergantung siapa anda ), tapi saat kita menonton, tampilan film memang lebih memuaskan dilayar 16:9. Di website US sendiri sudah mulai dijual konfigurasi HP 2140 dengan layar 10 inci tapi dengan resolusi lebih tinggi lagi, yaitu 1366 x 768 ( belum dipasarkan di Indonesia ).

Tampilan layar video satu layar penuh	Cover

Spesifikasi Singkat

HP 2140 Mini-note saat ini dipasarkan dengan harga US$ 535 dengan memori sebesar 1 GB. Model 2133 juga masih tersedia dengan harga lebih murah US$ 50, memori lebih besar 2 GB tapi dengan sistem operasi Linux. Harga harga ini sudah jauh lebih murah dibanding harga mereka tahun lalu di US$ 699.

Performance

Dengan hampir seragamnya penggunaan prosessor Intel Atom dan integrated graphics GMA 950 di notebook mini, maka variasi yang menentukan performance mereka adalah kecepatan hard disk. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa hard disk Fujitsu 160GB yang digunakan di 2140 memberikan kecepatan transfer rata rata cukup cepat 50MB/s sedikit dibawah hard disk Samsung yang digunakan oleh ION P3700BI.

Fujitsu MHZ2160BH G2 didalam 2140 mempunyai kecepatan baik.

Upgrade Memori dan HDD

Desain yang manis 2140 mempunyai akibat yaitu upgrade memori dan hard disk harus dilakukan dengan membongkar keyboard. Untuk instruksi upgrade, ada satu video yang dengan baik menjelaskan caranya.

3D DriveGuard Pelindung Hard Disk

Kelebihan 2140 ( dan 2133 ) dibanding HP Mini 1000 adalah dari segi keamanan data dengan adanya chip accelerometer ( sensor gerak ) didalam notebook. Sensor ini akan segera memerintahkan hard disk untuk memarkir head baca / tulis saat notebook terguncang atau jatuh. Untuk mengetahui bila fitur ini bekerja dengan baik, ada icon di Windows XP taskbar yang berubah dari warna putih ke oranye saat notebook diguncang. Jadi paling tidak jika notebook ini terjatuh dari meja dan hancur, data kita di hard disk lebih terlindungi.

Fitur Software Lainnya

HP 2140 Mini-Note PC datang dengan jenis jenis software yang sangat beragam mulai dari anti-virus McAfee, software PDFComplete, Roxio Creator Business Basic, dan banyak lainnya. Bagusnya software ini tidaklah otomatis semuanya terinstall pada hard disk kita. Kita bisa pilih apa yang kita hendak install di menu HP software setup didalam HP Infocenter seperti dibawah.

Menu di HP Info Center

Baterai

Baterai yang datang dengan HP 2140 Mini-Note PC adalah baterai 3 cell ( 28 Whr ). Tersedia juga pilihan 6-cell (55 WHr) high capacity Lithium-Ion. Tambah.info tidak sempat menguji ketahanan baterai dalam uji singkat. Menurut informasi yang kami kumpulkan di forum forum luar negeri, maka baterai 3 cell di 2140 bisa bertahan sekitar 2.5 jam. Sedangkan baterai 6 cell bisa bertahan antara 5 hingga 6 jam. Harga baterai 6 cell bila dibeli terpisah adalah US$ 100.

Kelebihan HP 2140 Mini-Note PC

• Layar sinematik 16:9
• Desain yang menarik dan cocok untuk lingkungan bisnis maupun pemakaian pribadi.
• ExpressCard/54 untuk ekspansi peripheral yang fleksibel.
• Keyboard luas dan enak dipakai.

Kekurangan

• Upgrade memori dan hard disk harus membongkar keyboard.
• Tombol touchpad ada disebelah kiri dan kanan membutuhkan pembiasaan.
