HP Mini 5102

Is “business netbook” a misnomer? Aren’t business notebooks supposed to be both portable and powerful, while emitting a confident and businesslike aura? Can a netbook ever be enough for a business user? HP is one of the few companies out there betting that a netbook can be appealing to a business audience. The HP Mini 5102 certainly looks businesslike. Its squared-off, all-metal chassis, matte-black magnesium alloy base, and brushed-aluminum lid exude a much more professional vibe than most netbooks, including HP’s own consumer line. And though its base configuration hews close to the standard netbook build of this generation, HP offers a wide array of options that can turn the 5102 into something else entirely. The model tested here has a 1.66GHz Atom N450, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 10.1-inch 1024x600 display, and Win7 Starter. Its 160GB HDD is 7,200rpm, which is nice. Its 6-cell battery (a $25 option), also offered notable benefits. The netbook performed to within a few percent of every other Pine Trail netbook we’ve tested, with the exception of battery life. In our rundown test, the Mini 5102 lasted eight hours, 10 minutes.

HP Mini 5102

The Mini 5102 is the latest in HP's line of business-optimized netbooks, featuring a ruggedized metal chassis and design elements tailored for the office road warrior. It does a great job of offering features that business users care about, but they come at a considerable price; the configuration we tested, with a touchscreen, 2GB of RAM, an Atom N450 CPU, and an extended six-cell battery, clocks in at around $729--easily the cost of a larger, more full-featured laptop. The fit and finish are excellent, if a bit angular. The brushed metal finish on the lid is handsome and doesn't attract fingerprints or smudges. If you don't like basic black, you can pay $28 more for a red or blue finish. Open the lid and you'll find a keyboard that is quite easy to type on, with extra-wide , , and keys. It has a good clicky feel with plenty of travel, but no backlight or keyboard light for working in the dark. The touchpad looks a little small (a common problem with netbooks), but in practice it isn't much of a problem. It tracks well, and the buttons are separate, distinct, and easy to use accurately without looking at them. The screen quality is slightly better than average, with decent contrast and viewing angles, but the resolution is a bit limited.

HP Mini 5102

As the sequel to one of our favorite all-around Netbooks, the HP Mini 5102 has some pretty big shoes to fill. It wasn't HP's choice in components that we liked about its business line 10-inch system--after all, most 2009 Netbooks shared a very uniform set of parts--it was the overall design and build quality of the Netbook we liked With a body made of aluminum and magnesium alloy, the 5101 felt significantly more rugged than many of the plastic Netbooks it was competing with, and its excellent keyboard layout made typing a breeze. The new version, the 5102, offers only minor cosmetic tweaks, but also more configuration options, including a touch screen. That means you can create a fairly compelling Netbook using HP's online configurator, but it'll also be an expensive one, as anything above the baseline adds significant cost. At a time when HD displays are becoming the norm, our $424 review unit has only a standard 1,024x600-pixel resolution 10-inch display, along with a single-core Intel Atom N450 processor, Windows 7 Starter Edition, and 1GB of RAM. With the competition (including HP's own Mini 311 line) regularly offering HD displays and Nvidia Ion graphics for very reasonable prices, we would have liked to see the Mini 5102 make some bolder steps with its new version.

HP Mini 5102

A smart option for road warriors and students, the HP Mini 5102 (starting at $399; $424 as configured) is more durable and secure than the typical netbook, and won’t need to see an outlet until the end of your work or school day. Like its predecessor, this 2.8-pound sequel sports an all-metal case and a comfortable keyboard, but HP has added new color options, facial recognition, and an optional capacitive multitouch display. But the most important addition is Intel’s ultra-efficient Atom N450 processor, which enables the 5102 to last more than 10 hours on a charge. You’ll pay a bit more for the Mini 5102’s sturdy design, and it doesn’t really outperform competitors, but overall it deserves our Editor’s Choice Award. Like the Mini 5101, the 5102 very much looks and feels like a shrunken HP ProBook, which is a compliment. With little additional cost over a regular netbook, you get a case with anodized aluminum on top and magnesium alloy on the bottom. Add in a soft-touch treatment on the deck and a clear HP DuraKeys coating for the keyboard, and you have a netbook that can stand up to a fair amount of abuse. Not that the 5102 doesn’t have style. The lid on our unit was a slick black, but you can also choose red or blue, a color treatment that carries over to the deck.
