HP’s new series – HP Mini 5101 companion PC is preparing to come up to the open houses in the next month, offering a rocky style display. This new series is aimed at those, who are mobile enthusiasts, or such people who keep an urge of high class. HP has added few new features like, 7200 RMP hard drive, Bluetooth 2.0, 2 megapixel Webcam either.

This latest series also adds a WSVGA (1024 x 600) or “HD” (1366 x 768) 10.1 inch LED display. It has few alternatives for 80GB or 128GB SSD drives, four-cell or six-cell batteries. Out of these two series 128GB will provide eight hours of runtime, and obviously WWAN.

The square type of keys is highly comfortable to play with than Mini 1000-series keys, and the appropriate trackpad setting is really a great reward, so it is entirely advisable for scrolling to the side-scrolling action, surely, yet it is a finer addition. The structural framework is very close to the head of any laptop or netbook.
