HP Mini 5101 gets back to business

And just when you thought netbooks are on its way out, newer models are still coming in like there’s no tomorrow. If the HP Mini 2140 doesn’t give you that real executive look, the HP Mini 5101 might just do the trick.

The HP MIni 5101 gets a minor CPU upgrade of an N280 1.66GHz, a brighter OLED screen, 2MP webcam, 95% full laptop keyboard size with chicklet keys.

This netbook will have a 10.1 inch screen will have a resolution of either 1024×600 or 1366×768 (HD) pixels.

HP claims a battery life of up to 8 hours with the 6-cell model.

Price starts at $449 (most likely, it will have the same price as the HP Mini 2140 when it first came out — around Php23,990).

    Hey! Someone is selling this here in Cebu for P23K. I forgot his name but I also saw his ad in Sulit. Open for Cebu buyers only though.. :)

    Yep, like the sleek and classic look but being that it’s a finger print magnet is really a turn off. Anyways, I hope they do something bout that and also consider releasing one in white, gold, bronze, and dark purple colors. Sweet! :)

    FYI…

    Hi,
    Went around computer shops today, 15 November 2009 but the HP resellers said they do not know of any hp mini 5101. When will this be available here in the Philippines?
    Thanks

    It’s the best netbook when it comes to performance especially on multitasking. It’s even better than Toshiba nb205 which was the best before this netbook came.

    i have talked to HP contact point(based in Malaysia) sometime in August and the rep(Suzette) said that it will be available in the Philippines by September first week.

    she mentioned that the unit is already available in some APAC countries like Singapore and Malaysia.

    the landed SRP would be Php23-24k. and will only come with a 4cell variant.

    i tried getting in touch with MSI ECS(HP’s Philippine distributor) and the PM(product manager) said that the unit will be available in September.

    i just hope that they will bring in 6cell options if the standard SKU would be 4cell.
