    HP 2159m

    26 Oct 2009 12:08 PM

    HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class — however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 21.5 inch, 3 ms

    HP w185

    01 Oct 2009 2:46 PM

    Its limitations mean that the only scenario we can recommend the w185 in is where you need a dirt cheap monitor for extremely basic use, like to throw in a server room. Otherwise if you're looking for quality, we'd look elsewhere.

    Specs: 250 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1366 x 768 pixels, 18.5 inch, 5 ms

    HP Mini 5101

    08 Sep 2009 11:23 AM

    HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favourite netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.

    Specs: 160 GB, 1GB , Intel Atom , 1.66 GHz, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 , 10.1 inch

    HP Mini 110

    13 Jul 2009 5:22 PM

    While the new HP Mini 110 is less expensive than the Mini 1000 and doesn't stray far from the same mould, there are some subtle design changes — and they're not always for the best.

    Specs: 160 GB, 1GB , Intel Atom , 3 hours, 1.6 GHz, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 , 10.1 inch

    HP 2009f LCD Monitor

    07 Jul 2009 11:27 AM

    The HP 2009f is a good-looking 20-inch display with enough features to make it well worth its low price.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1600 x 900 pixels, 20 inch, 5 ms

    HP 2309m

    19 Jun 2009 10:31 AM

    At a price of AU$649, the 2309m is a decent buy. While it performs well, the blacks aren't as deep as we'd like, and we'd be more tempted to find something with a matte screen to cut down on reflections.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 23 inch, 3 ms

  • HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

    10 Feb 2009 2:22 PM

    HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook to beat.

    Specs: 120 GB, 1GB , Intel Atom , 1.6 GHz, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 , 10.1 inch

    HP w2228h

    15 Jan 2009 2:46 PM

    HP's w2228h is certainly a pretty looking monitor, and includes stand adjustments not often seen elsewhere, but capability wise it's no better than other 22-inch monitors that are AU$200-$300 cheaper.

    Specs: 300 cd/m2, 1000 :1, 1680 x 1050 pixels, 22 inch, 3 ms

  • HP Mini 1000

    31 Oct 2008 2:45 PM

    HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.

    Specs: 60 GB, 1GB , Intel Atom , 1.6 GHz, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 , 10.2 inch
