HP Mini 5101
$650.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Solid shell with excellent durability, can handle a few hits and not show damage. Keyboard has a really nice response, feels comfortable and its easy to find the key you want without looking. Runs cool, can have it on your lap comfortably.
The Cons:Screen is a little small and cramped, a bit restrictive for movie watching. Design is angled and boxy, doesn't look great.
The HP Mini 5101 is designed with professionals who need a mobile Internet laptop that won't take up much space in a briefcase. To protect it while carting it around, the netbook has a durable, lightweight metal case with a magnesium base.

It also includes the HP 3D DriveGuard which specifically protects the hard drive against accidental impacts so that the data remains safe in a hectic environment. The weight of the netbook is a extremely low 2.64 pounds and despite that minimal weight it has a keyboard that is 95% of a full sized keyboard. Unlike its sister product, the HP Mini 1101, the HP Mini 5101 comes with a choice of two batteries, a lighter, less powerful 4-cell configuration or the longer lasting 6-cell configuration. The netbook also comes with a optional HP Mobile Broadband coverage to ensure that users can get access to the Internet no matter where they are.
