Particularly this new Atom N450-based Mini 5102, which is aimed at business and education use. You can tweak the 10-inch laptop with a WSVGA or WXGA screen, Broadcom HD video acceleration, and just about any OS you could think of: FreeDOS, SUSE Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7 (Starter and Home Premium). You can also squeeze a capacitive multitouch screen into the 0.9-inch form factor and take your pick from a 4-cell or 6-cell battery. Like we said, lots of options.<\/p>\n<p>As far as fit and finish, the laptop isn&#8217;t that far divergent from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2009\/07\/24\/hp-mini-5101-ready-for-use-by-mini-executives\/\">Mini 5101<\/a>, which certainly isn&#8217;t a bad thing. We love the quality, no-frills feel and look, and the optional handle (which has to be picked at the time of order, since it&#8217;s integrated) is surprisingly nice and handy. If we had one gripe it would be the oppressive screen bezel, but at least it leaves room for a 95%-sized keyboard, and the brushed aluminum screen back is a nice touch.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-press-shots\/\">HP Mini 5102 press shots<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-press-shots\/2583699\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/hp-5102-1-pr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-press-shots\/2583700\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/hp-5102-2-pr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-press-shots\/2583701\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/hp-5102-3-pr_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-hands-on\/\">HP Mini 5102 hands-on<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-hands-on\/2583494\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/hp-dsc_0001_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-hands-on\/2583495\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/hp-dsc_0002_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-hands-on\/2583496\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/hp-dsc_0003_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-hands-on\/2583497\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/hp-dsc_0005_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/hp-mini-5102-hands-on\/2583498\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/hp-dsc_0009_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/06\/hp-mini-5102-has-optional-handle-and-touchscreen-the-drive-to-s\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>HP Mini 5102 has optional handle and touchscreen; the drive to succeed<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/06\/hp-mini-5102-has-optional-handle-and-touchscreen-the-drive-to-s\/\">HP Mini 5102 has optional handle and touchscreen; the drive to succeed<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:01:00 EST.
