Marketed towards business men and students of all ages, the HP Mini 5102 is one of the best 10-inch netbooks on the market. Compared to other models, this HP mini has many similarities such as the Intel Atom processor N450, 1GB of memory and the Windows 7 Starter operating system. However, this device has something a little unique to these small computers: a touchscreen display, helping it earn our TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award.

Design:
HP designed this highly-portable device with touch capabilities for easier navigation. This device features optional touch with your finger on the 10.1-inch display screen or you can use the included touchpad. The touchscreen allows you to sort through menus and applications using your finger as the guide. It is a great addition to the already vast list of features and it certainly sets it apart from other models. However, if you are one who would rather use a touchpad, this mini-computer isn’t that different from many other models available.
The keyboard offered on this PC is said to be spill-resistant and one of the best chiclet keyboards made. This spill-resistant keyboard helps protect the keys from those small spills that unfortunately destroy our electronic devices. Two shortcut keys are found above the keyboard. One key launches the default web browser and the other launches the software updater. The touchpad on the HP Mini 5102 is a bit small compared to other models. Regardless, HP designed the touchpad with dedicated right and left mouse buttons instead of the typical single bar. This makes it easier to click on what you need and avoid the pain of the wrong menu appearing while trying to right click.
The exterior of the HP Mini is sharp and attractive. This computing device comes in an all metal case and HP added new color options. Textured plastics are on the outside of the model which is a nice feature when trying to hide those annoying fingerprints and smudges that tend to cover the PC. An optional handle has also been designed on the exterior to make it easy to carry. Although, it isn’t as if this computer is heavy. Weighing only 2.64 lbs it is lightweight and easy to throw in a backpack without adding too much additional weight. Not only is it light, but also thin which adds to the comfort and ease of the HP Mini.
User Interface Features:
The Hp Mini 5102 features the Windows 7 Home Premium. This makes the sharing of photos, videos and music much simpler. It is an improved operating system to make your work and your daily computing activities smooth and uncomplicated. However, the greatest addition made to this HP Mini is the Intel Atom N450 processor. This is what allows the computer to expand its battery life drastically from other mini portable devices. This HP also features the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150. Even with this graphics card, this computing device isn’t up to par for gaming but it will make low demanding 3D games enjoyable to play.
Memory/Battery Life:
The Intel Atom N450 processor and a six-cell battery allows this HP Mini to have up to 10 hours of battery runtime. This still doesn’t beat the ASUS Eee PC 1005PE’s 14 hours or even the Toshiba Mini NB305-N410’s 11 hours but it isn’t far behind. The option for a 4-cell battery is also available if you don’t necessarily need your computer to perform for the 10 hours of battery life but the hours using the 4-cell battery are significantly less.
The memory on this netbook isn’t anything special compared to other models. Actually, it is almost identical. With 1GB of RAM and 250GB of hard drive capacity, this HP model will hold as much memory as almost all the other highly ranked products.
Summary:
For a portable computing device, the HP Mini 5102 is not a bad option. It has many similarities when compared to other models but the touchscreen sets it apart. If you like to interact personally with your computer and feel more in control, the touchscreen display allows that to happen and makes the HP Mini 5102 the right netbook for you.
