5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Netbook, July 11, 2010

This review is from: HP Mini 5102 10.1-Inch Netbook (Tools & Home Improvement)

For what it is, the HP 5102 is a fantastic travel friendly computer. It does not stream video well, its not going to be fast with any complex applications, but it has a fantastic keyboard, netbook or otherwise, best in class build quality (metal composite NOT plastic) a nice bright screen, and good speakers. Great for web browsing and typing/word processing. It has USB connectivity as well as an SD multi slot.

Fantastic, light, well built, and simply an efficient little machine.

(something to note is that this particular model from amazon comes with the smaller battery and battery life is considerably shorter than some other netbooks in this class. You can upgrade and buy the high capacity battery separately from HP)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Great Choice for the Accident Prone, January 24, 2011

This review is from: HP Mini 5102 10.1-Inch Netbook (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am a computer tech in Canada. I got one of these in to repair the LCD. I'm very frustrated with how difficult it is to repair, and HP quoted over $400 to send it to them.

I can do the repair, but it is going to cost the client twice what it costs to repair a standard netbook LCD.

This is primarily because of the glued on cover over the LCD. Yes it looks nice.
But it is very difficult to repair.

Far nicer models are available from Toshiba and Asus in this price range. I would definitely not recommend this netbook.

Just my two cents.
