HDready screen makes fonts and icons look tiny

Slightly Larger Dimensions for 10inch Netbook
Lacks the ExpressCard Slot of Predecessor

The HP Mini 5101 feels more like a regular laptop than a netbook and this is because of its sturdy construction, relatively good speed and excellent keyboard design. Not only that, it looks good and it has a 1366x768 screen. There really isn’t too muc...

Revamped version of one of our favorite Netbooks; excellent keyboard and touchpad; sturdy and durable; includes accelerometer; optional higher-resolution display.
Loses its ExpressCard slot; standard Netbook components at a premium price.
Abstract: A prototype unit of the HP Mini 5101 has made its way to our labs and we gave it a gentle spin to see how this netbook holds up. After all, netbook designs have been done to death right? Apparently not.A Quick RecapLike most netbooks, the Mini 5101 rel...
Voorstanders van compacte en laaggeprijzde netbooks hebben lang moeten wachten op een toestel met een goede resolutie en dat geschikt is voor buitenshuis gebruik. De HP Mini 5101 is een van de eerste modellen met een WSVGA scherm met een HD resolutie v...
Современный и фирменный стиль корпуса, Акселерометр жесткого диска, Качественная матрица, Быстрый жесткий диск, Небольшой вес.
Небольшое время автономной работы, Высокий нагрев корпуса, Шум от жесткого диска, Отсутствие предустановленной ОС
Миниатюрный "пробук" получился очень спорным. С одной стороны, материалы, вес и габариты. С другой стороны, то, без чего нетбук просто не может существовать - время автономной работы. В том ценовом диапазоне, где предлагается HP Mini 5101, можно приобрест...
