It's powered by Intel's 1.6 GHz Atom N280 processor, which uses an innovative design structure and hafnium-infused circuitry that helps reduce electrical current leakage in transistors--providing longer battery life when you're on the go. A roomy 160 GB hard drive (7200 RPM) provides ample storage for all your documents and presentations. Other features include 1 GB of RAM (2 GB maximum), 2-megapixel webcam, Secure Digital memory card reader, Gigabit Ethernet, Draft-N Wi-Fi networking, and up to 4.5 hours of battery life.
It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop.
Key Features

- 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 processor combines performance and efficiency to explore the Internet and stay connected while mobile. The Atom N280 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

- 160 GB hard drive with 7200 RPM speed featuring HP 3D DriveGuard--a shock-resistant, hard-mount solution that reduces the transmission of shock to the hard drive by as much as 50 percent. This means that the hard drive is mounted firmly to the notebook frame so the notebook absorbs more of the impact from drops, bumps and bangs. This approach works like a car seatbelt that keeps you strapped firmly in place during an accident, while the car frame absorbs the brunt of the impact.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
With its integrated Draft-N Wi-Fi networking capabilities, this laptop provides up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range using 802.11n-compatible routers as you would with 802.11g networks. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found at Wi-Fi hotspots and in older home routers) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments).

I bought it fully loaded with 3G, Bluetooth, 6 cell battery, HD screen.
OS: Runs Windows 7 flawlessly. Drivers are available for all hardware including DriveGuard and the 3G modem.
Keyboard: HP has always had the best netbook keyboards. They've out-done themselves again with this one. You can type as fast as a full-sized keyboard (it's 95% of regular sized). The keys are also very quiet and you can take notes in meetings without being noticeable.
3G: works perfectly with any SIM card. I'm told you can use it on CDMA networks too without SIM cards.
Bluetooth: Range and performance is far better than the older HP netbooks like the 2140.
Battery Life: 4-6 hours depending on how heavy you use it. On a plane without wireless I get a full 6 hours.
HD Screen: Can be small if you have bad eyes. Makes it possible to go days with just a netbook. I can even work in my Outlook Calendar. The screen is also NOT glossy. A huge plus in my books. I can actually use it outside and in bright rooms.
Size: Slightly larger than the HP 2140 + HP Mini 110/1000 (I've owned all of them), but unless they're side by side you wouldn't notice. The 6 cell battery DOES NOT stick out like all other HP netbooks. There is only a minor bulge of about 4-5mm.

I did much research before I decided to purchase the HP 5101, after all, spending $430 on a netbook that you cannot see before you buy seemed a little risky. I've had it for about a week now and am glad to say that it is living up to expectation.
The specs speak for themselves, pretty much standard netbook fare, but the details of this machine set it apart. It looks great, is sturdy and feels great too. The keyboard is larger and easier to use than my last notebook - a larger device than the 5101. The keys are also very quiet and have a nice feel and rebound. One very nice addition is the soft feel to the area below the keyboard that warps around to the back of the unit. It results in a soft but durable feel, making typing that much nicer. The 5101 just feels like a well built netbook. The mouse pad is a nice design too, considering the good placement of the mouse buttons and the addition of a scroll on the right side.
The first thing I did to the 5101 was upgrade to 2g of RAM. This is a very simple process and definitely speeds it up. I also opted for the hi-cap battery, although I have not had enough time to test its actual run time. One nice feature about the battery that seems to be frequently overlooked is the built in LED indicator. Flip the netbook over and press the button to see how much battery charge is remaining. No need to power up to check the battery gauge. Nice!
Processing wise, it's not a speed demon. This is a netbook, it's not meant to handle large applications but for regular Internet use, email and common programs (Word, Excel, etc) it works great. The screen is one of the largest currently available but does take a little getting used to. Learning how to hide tool bars and web address bars will help maximize your on-screen experience.
The design is smart, clean and stylish. The processing is on the high end for netbooks, the unit is light, durable and comfortable. You can pick up a plastic netbook for cheaper and get it confused with your kids netbook, or you can pay a little extra for the 5101 and have a netbook that should out last and out perform.

Simply the best netbook that I have ever used and I have used a few ranging from Asus to Dell to an early model HP 1000. I purchased directly from HP before the 5101 was available from other retailers and bought the 6-cell version. This appears to be the 4-cell version. Working just fine with Windows 7 and I found all the drivers I needed.
Best feature: The matte screen, the keyboard and the 7200 RPM drive.
Minor gripes: I would pay $30 more for a backlit keyboard. The power button and quick-launch LEDs are very bright in a dark room and I wish I could turn them off with a BIOS setting. I might actually tape over them. The volume and screen brightness controls seem to be tightly coupled with a Windows driver and I can't adjust the screen or sound until I am logged into Windows. The DC portion of the AC/DC adaptor is large and long sticking out almost 2 inches. A cord with a plug at 90 degrees would be really nice.
Overall: I would buy this again in a second.

Good, and some thing to think about.
Make sure you order the right one. Mine had 4-cell battery and it wasn't obvious. Keys have protective coating that makes the lettering a bit harder to see. Read more
