HP-ProBook-4425s-Laptop-Mag.jpg

Laptop Magazine have published a review of the HP ProBook 4425s notebook. 'Weighing 5 pounds and measuring 13.2 x 9.2 x 1.1 inches, the 4425s isn't the lightest or thinnest 14-inch notebook, but it slides into a bag easily enough (the Lenovo ThinkPad L412, for example, weighs 5.2 pounds). Like other ProBooks, the 4425s has a brushed aluminum lid and deck with a glossy black plastic bezel and keyboard mount. While some may prefer the ProBook 5310m's black aluminum finish or the unadorned EliteBook 8440p, we didn't mind the dark brown color of the 4425s. The bottom of the machine is constructed from hard plastic.'

A review of the HP Mini 210 HD netbook has been posted over at Notebook Review. 'The new design of the HP Mini really helps to enhance its looks and raise the expectation that this netbook isn't a toy but rather a full-fledged designer notebook. The new Mini uses painted panels for the screen cover and bottom cover, adding a touch of color to each model. Compared to normal designs that leave the bottom with bland, unfinished black plastic, this really helps in the looks department. The interior was also given a facelift, featuring a flush-mount Synaptics touchpad with integrated buttons. It also makes use of a redesigned Chiclet keyboard with integrated function-key lights to show when certain features are activated. The new look is nothing short of astonishing.'

A review of the HP Mini 5102 netbook has been posted over at Geek.com. 'The number one thing to keep in mind about the Mini 5102 is that this is a premium netbook. It's specifically designed for businesses (small or large) as well as use in school districts, but it fits the needs of demanding consumers quite well also. Much of this has to do with durability as the 5102 uses HP Durakeys (to prevent key wear), it has an aluminum LCD lid, there is an accelerometer (3D Drive Guard), the bottom of the chassis is metal, the keyboard is spill-resistant, and so on. There are also performance components, including a standard 7200RPM hard drive and 2MP webcam, plusoptions for a 1366×768 resolution option, mobile broadband, a multi-touch display, and 80/128GM SSDs. In addition to Windows 7 HP offers Windows XP, FreeDOS, or SuSE Linux.'

HP Mini 311 Review - HotHardWare

HotHardWare have published a review HP Mini 311 Ion-based netbook. 'On the software front, you'll find Windows 7 Home Premium on board. This is a huge step up from Windows XP, which was the OS of choice for most netbooks just a few months ago. You won't find too much bloatware loaded on, but that's not to say it's devoid of applications that you'll want to tweak or uninstall right away. The Norton anti-virus software is a real nag; right when you boot up for the first time, you'll be greeted with a huge pop-up that encourages you to continue the installation--only so it can nag you later to upgrade to the full version, we assume. That's not a very good user experience to kick things off.'

A review of the HP Mini 311 netbook has been posted over at Geek.com. 'The build of Mini 311 is reminiscent of HP's previous consumer netbook offers. This means a plastic but solid build, a slim design, and a very good keyboard. The 311 gets a larger 11.6-inch display which looks great, largely thanks to the higher resolution, but can be tough to use outside or near a window thanks to its glossy coating. Increasing the backlighting will help this, but at the cost of battery life, something that is crucial to a netbook's usefulness. Overall the Mini 311 feels solid, but it's not up to the level of HP's business-focused 5101 netbook.'

HP Mini 5101 Review - Digital Trends

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.'

HP Mini 311 Review - Pocket-lint

Pocket-lint have published their "First Look" review of the HP Mini 311 notebook PC. 'It isn't the slimmest of notebooks in this size, with a wedge shape that is distinctly plump at the back. This is partly down to the use of the Intel Atom processor and Nvidia ION chip, as opposed to the an Intel CULV processor which would give a slimmer profile, but cost more and arguably lack the benefits offered by ION. The 11.6-inch, 1366 x 768 pixel resolution display means it gets that "HD" tag, and thanks to the Nvidia ION chip, it can exploit that screen to best effect. The screen has a glossy finish, which brings punch to action on the screen, but won't be so popular with those who want to use the notebook on the move - reflections can be a problem.'
