HP Mini 5101 FM956UT 10.1-Inch Netbook – Up to 4.5 Hours of Battery Life
Hewlett-Packard No Comments »Review
I just love this little guy. My old laptop had a problem with his motherboard, and I wanted to get something like a backup while it is being repaired, so I bought this particular machine.
I must say I really love it. The quality of the materials is very good, and I personally have the feeling that they are better than my Dell XPS laptop.
For my purposes, such as Internet surfing, and watching Netflix movies and talking over Skype with video it works awesome. The camera is particularly good,the microphone is also good.
Although the product says Vista Business, it is actually installed with a Vista upgrade CD-ROM XP (which I immediately threw like me) to imagine it slowly on this machine.
XP loads superfast and works great. I hope the Windows 7 Basic is stripped down equally well when released work, otherwise I am very happy with XP, it is stable and fast.
This laptop is so light that I can just wear these little fellows everywherewith me around the house.
My wife loves this computer, and lately I have some difficulties in my hands on this guy was, because she wakes up before I do, and I'm stuck with my old iPhone or laptop.

The HP Mini’s generous, keyboard produces the typing experience the way email and IM were intended. The 95 percent full-size keyboard, plus a touchpad, offer full-sized notebook familiarity in contrast to smaller keyboards of some competing companion PCs.
It’s powered by Intel’s 1.6 GHz Atom N280 processor, which uses an innovative design structure and hafnium-infused circuitry that helps reduce electrical current leakage in transistors–providing longer battery life when you’re on the go. A roomy 160 GB hard drive (7200 RPM) provides ample storage for all your documents and presentations. Other features include 2 GB of RAM (maximum capacity), 2-megapixel webcam, Secure Digital memory card reader, Gigabit Ethernet, Draft-N Wi-Fi networking, and up to 4.5 hours of battery life. It’s pre-installed with the Windows Vista Business operating system (with downgrade to Windows XP).
Key Features

- 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 processor combines performance and efficiency to explore the Internet and stay connected while mobile. The Atom N280 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

- 160 GB hard drive with 7200 RPM speed featuring HP 3D DriveGuard–a shock-resistant, hard-mount solution that reduces the transmission of shock to the hard drive by as much as 50 percent. This means that the hard drive is mounted firmly to the notebook frame so the notebook absorbs more of the impact from drops, bumps and bangs. This approach works like a car seatbelt that keeps you strapped firmly in place during an accident, while the car frame absorbs the brunt of the impact.
