Not because they aren't pretty or don't perform well, but because they don't have any outstanding specifications to draw your attention. The HP mini 5103 is a lightweight, small and capable netbook.
While there are some flaws, this product has nothing to be ashamed of.Netbook users are likely to swoon over the 5103's form factor and will be elated to hear about the impressive battery life. The 5103's biggest shortcoming is that it doesn't stand out in any particular area. In a competitive market like netbooks, products like the 5103 can be overlooked. The 5103 is, however, a product worth consideration.
Design
The 5103 weighs less than 3 pounds. With most netbooks trending towards high-definition displays, it is unfortunate to see that the 5103 has not adopted a higher-resolution display. The 5103 is one of the smaller netbooks in our lineup.This can be very important for multitaskers. That just doesn't make sense. While this may not be a big deal for some people, we feel strongly that higher resolutions are better. That's light enough that you won't notice much of a difference if you place it in your backpack. Imagine trying to carry around a netbook that weighs as much as a couple of textbooks. If you have a higher resolution, you can fit more information on the screen at a time than you can with lower resolutions.
Due to their nature, netbooks should be ultra portable.With only 1024 x 600 pixels, the 5103's display is not considered HD.
User Interface Features
As with many current netbooks, the 5103 uses the Intel Atom N455 processor. However, the N455 is not a dual-core processor and multitaskers may become frustrated with the processor's limitations. The N455 conserves power as much as possible, which translates directly into longer battery life. This processor excels at providing enough processing power to get the job done without using excessive amounts of power.
Memory/Battery Life
The 5103's hard drive gives you enough space to save and store any important documents or pictures.
While that isn't the longest advertised battery life in our netbook lineup, it is certainly impressive. The 5103, however, claims a 25-hour battery life. Some people may think that 250GB isn't enough, but if you're going to fill a hard drive of that size, you probably don't want a netbook anyway.
The 5103 also sports the netbook standard 250GB hard drive. Many netbooks boast of a seven- or eight-hour battery life, and that's a good amount of time to work, play or surf the internet.
Summary
It can be difficult to decide which netbook to get because there are so many options.
The small size and lightweight design enable you to take the HP mini 5103 wherever you want it to go.Even though some netbooks may have a longer battery life, or a better processor, there aren't many netbooks that will give you a strong and consistent experience like the 51 With this netbook you can do what you want to, when you want to and where you want to.
