HP Mini 5101 (Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, XP Home Basic)

Revamped version of one of our favorite Netbooks ; excellent keyboard and touch pad ; sturdy and durable ; includes accelerometer ; optional higher-resolution display

Loses its ExpressCard slot ; standard Netbook components at a premium price

HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favorite Netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price Netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.

"Great Companion for an On-The-Go Student"

By willacomb (cnet.com)

If you're going to be carrying this baby all ... 

Average weight for a netbook (so, pretty damn light). Keyboard large enough that you don't misplace your fingers. Very fast when on 802.11n. SD Card slot is great. Fast enough to run Office '07 Professional while surfing the web and playing iTunes

Fans can be loud at times. Should definitely be a supplement to your more powerful desktop/laptop. External CD drive is an extra $100. Battery isn't as good as advertised (about 3.5 hours with Office & Firefox & iTunes going at once. Price is high
