Pros: Attractive, brushed metal aesthetic is welcome change to cluttered look found on many netbooks. Well spaced island keys reminiscent of Apple's sexy new MacBook keyboard

Cons: Weird, choppy QuickTime performance will make latest Transformers movie look like the first Terminator. Battery life weak compared to Asus

Hewlett-Packard can't get seem to stop pumping out netbooks, and its new Mini 5101 is the slickest version yet.

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

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

Verdict: 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.

Cons: Whirring noises from the fans and speedy hard drive. Options can bring up the cost significantly and aren't available for purchase yet ; Watch our HP Mini 5101 video review

Verdict: The HP Mini 5101 is much improved version over HP's previous netbooks, but you'll have to pay extra for many of its fringe benefitsif they become available.

HP is hot on the heels of Acer for the top spot in the netbook category. But let's not kid ourselves: Even though HP is very aggressive in pricing, the current Mini 1000 and even the newest Mini 110 (1030us) haven't been able to keep up with the ...
