HP Mini 5101 FM956UT 10.1-Inch Netbook - Up to 4.5 Hours of Battery Life Review
I just love this little guy. My old laptop had issues with its motherboard, and I wanted to get something as a backup while it was being repaired so I bought this particular machine.
I must say I really love it. The quality of materials is excellent, and I personally feel that they are better than my dell xps laptop.
For my purposes such as internet surfing, and watching netflix movies, and talking on Skype with video it works awesome. The camera is particularly good, the microphone is good too.
Although the product says Vista Business, it actually has installed XP with a Vista update disc (which I immediately tossed- as I imagine it would be slow on this machine).
XP loads superfast and works great. I am hopeful the stripped down Windows 7 basic will work equally well when released, otherwise I’m quite happy with XP- it’s stable and quick.
This laptop is so lightweight that I can just carry this little fellow everywhere with me around the house.
My wife really loves this computer to, and lately I’ve had some difficulty getting my hands on this guy because she wakes up before I do, and I’m stuck with my iphone or old 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
- 10.1-inch LED backlit widescreen display (1024 x 600-pixel resolution) provides richer colors and clearer definition.
- 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.

- Draft-N Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g/n) for greater speed and range

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
With its integrated Draft-N Wi-Fi networking capabilities, this laptop provides up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range using 802.11n-compatible routers as you would with 802.11g networks. It’s also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found at Wi-Fi hotspots and in older home routers) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range–great for closed office environments).

| Review by Michelle Lewis (Atlanta, GA) 2010-06-02 Ok, Here is the long and the short. I got it and it did not work. I gave two stars because it came early in the mail. It has never worked. Then I had to call tech services and had to stay on the phone with them for hours to figure out that the thing was broken and needed to be sent back. I could have told them that from the beginning.

| Review by Antonio Quinonez-munoz (Woodinville, WA USA) 2010-07-15 Obviously not for high-end gaming. I use my writing and surfing the Internet and Twitter. The keyboard is excellent, the start-up is a little 'slow, but waking up from sleep mode does the trick when using very fast. The biggest problem is that the transition from the power of wireless is, but this can also typical for notebooks... Read more reviews | ||
