We review HP's premium Mini netbook
The HP Mini 5102 is one of those rare netbooks designed for the mobile pro and educational markets at the same time; it's meant for those who don't simply see the netbook as a throwaway extra PC. At $415, even still has an attractive price point, but does the 5102 pack enough features and power over a regluar netbook to satisfy an audience that could pay $100 less? We find out in our full Mini 5102 review.

The starting price for the 5102 is currently $415 with the Intel N450 processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB of storage, Intel GMA graphics, a/b/g/n WiFi, and the 4-cell battery. This version will run Windows 7 Starter. The 10.1-inch, LED backlit display can run at 1024×600 or 1366×768. At a starting weight of 2.64 pounds and 0.91-inches thick it’s extremely portable and HP made sure to build it well. The construction is almost entirely metal, which is rare for a netbook, but it gives the 5102 a really great feel. It’s also a good looking computer thanks to the brushed aluminum LCD lid, matte soft-touch palm rests and underside, and the gloss around the display and keys.
