Nice compact design
This HP computer followed strictly the mini PC concept, presenting a really compact and discreet built, but at same time it still is very stylish. With an almost circular format, the HP Pavilion Mini impresses everyone with its intense colors and high quality material around its case. The lateral boards, for example, highlight the resistance and strength that this kind of device need.
At the top, prevails a greyish color that highlights the HP logo in the center. On its base, there it has a rubberized material that avoids unnecessary movements of the mini PC, letting that the device continues stable while being used on plain surfaces. In front, there are two 3.0 USB ports an on/off that complete this device’s futuristic design. Only thing that I think is missing on the HP Pavilion Mini PC 300-202BR is an easy head phone port.
In addition to the head phone port, there is also a RJ-45 connection (10/100/100), another two 3.0 USB ports, HDMI, DisplayPort and the power source connector. An air exit and some space for Kensington finalize the design in the back, revealing a harmony between all the components.
The HP Pavilion Mini PC 300-202BR has about 5 cm of height, a feature that can be considered as a very low profile for this device. It has about 14,5 cm of width and depth, turning it into an ideal device to be kept close to the monitor and even so not call that much attention. There are about 660 grams, an acceptable weight if the aim is carrying it in certain situations.
