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...

  • 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 al...

The 5102 is available in three colours (Black, Red, and Blue) and sports a brushed aluminium lid. It is well-constructed and can probably withstand accidental bumps. Like any other netbook, the 5102 has a small profile (262 x 180 x 24.8 mm) and does no...

The HP Mini 5102 is a netbook designed with business users in mind. It has an anodised aluminium lid and its sturdy design places it a rung above most other netbooks on the market. It also looks good and, contrary to popular belief, business users apparently do appreciate a bit of flair — so HP has introduced the Mini 5102 not only in black, but also in red and blue. The HP Mini 5102 and the HP Mini 5101Physically, the Mini 5102 looks exactly like the HP Mini 5101, which isn’t a bad thing —...

  • HP's Mini 5102 is practically the same as the Mini 5101, but it has much better battery life. You can practically get a whole day of use out of its 6-cell battery (as long as you close the lid when you aren't actively using it) and the large hard drive me...

As the sequel to one of our favourite all-round 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 uni...
  • 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.

From the beginning, i have to say this is a more sober netbook from HP, from their business class. So, unlike other colored, glossy and joyful looking mini laptops on the market, the Mini 5102 offers a classy look. But boy, is it good! Hardware...
  • All in one, there's not much you won't like on this mini laptop. It's light and portable, pretty powerful and battery is one of the most long lasting on the market. However, in this config, price goes above the $500 margin. Add and extended battery, a m...

It's business time 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...
  • Great looks and solid construction; good keyboard; 7,200rpm HDD standard; lots of optional upgrades.
  • Fingerprintprone; can get extremely expensive; weird functionkey switching; can't compete with CULV ultrathins.

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 d...
