Digital Trends have published their review of the HP Mini 5101 netbook. 'Tear away the outside, and the main parts driving the Mini 5101 would resemble any other netbook: An Intel Atom processor running at 1.6GHz, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 160GB hard drive, all hooked up to a standard 10.1-inch LED-backlit display. But look a little closer, and you'll find traces of a real business machine. For instance, this little guy sports the same HP 3D Drive Guard tech as HP's bigger notebooks, which detects falls and braces the hard drive for impact. HP's DuraKeys resist both visible wear better than ordinary keys, and spills. And the webcam offers 2.0-megapixel resolution for videoconferencing, up from the typical 1.3-megapixel model you might find in a typical netbook. It even comes preloaded with Corel Office - not the Microsoft suite we're all used to, but an affordable way to get cracking on documents, spreadsheets and graphics.'
