    HP's sturdy and stylish Mini 5102 is a slight upgrade to one of our favourite netbooks, but we had hoped for a little more fresh thinking for 2010. Read more

    The design and feature set of the HP Mini 5102 is quite good, especially for the business audience it targets. The keyboard and touchpad are an improvement over the consumer-focused HP Minis, and scores of options are available. Unfortunately, this all comes at a price. All but the barest configurations cost as much as many full-sized laptops - laptops that may not go for over 9 hours on a charge but that certainly perform a lot better. This is a great netbook for simple... Read more

    Without the touchscreen element the HP Mini 5102 doesn't have anything about it that makes it stand out from the netbook crowd. The high resolution screen of our review sample isn't available from HP online as we write, so even that is not a draw. You'll probably want to budget for a bigger spend than the entry level model too, making this a relatively expensive netbook. Read more

    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? Read more

    Overall I am really pleased with this netbook - it certainly has a solid feel about it and the HP software/hardware combo to secure the HDD against shock is a plus for the pro user. Battery life is very good and it has what you need without some of the more useless buttons on many net/laptops that are rarely used and get in the way. For the professional user this is worth the money. The finish and performance is the best I have seen on a laptop for a while. Read more
