When we heard that HP was making some big changes to its small business netbook, we were worried. After all, the current version — the Mini 2140 — is probably our all-time favourite netbook, thanks to an innovative keyboard (since adopted by HPs consu...

HPs biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favourite netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer. Editors’ rating: 8.2/10...

When is a netbook so good that it feels like you’re using a regular laptop? Pretty much never, but the HP Mini 5101 feels as close to a real notebook as you'll get with a netbook, and we think it's a brilliant product. It's built out of metal and is very stylish, with a beautiful keyboard and a latchless, high resolution 10.1in screen. Its specifications mean that unless you’ve got a multitude of programs open at the same time, it doesn’t feel like it’s running an Intel Atom CPU. While using...

Businessmen don’t use netbooks. Sure, all-day battery life would be nice for those long flights. They do fit awfully nice in most briefcases, too. And the Intel Atom is more than enough for Firefox, Excel and Skype. But the humble netbook has always be...
