Looking for a new netbook to carry around on your travels? You won’t be disappointed with HP’s offerings, despite many netbooks these days being the same within (and for some, without). After all, HP didn’t become to the top computer manufacturer in the world for no apparent reason. We’re looking at what HP has to offer with their NEW Mini 5103 netbook .

It tips the scales at just 1.2 kilograms, but is more than capable of delivering the capability of a full-performance companion PC, targeting mobile professionals as well higher-education students. Underneath the hood, the HP Mini 5103 will support the latest dual core processor from Intel, the Atom N550. Of course, you can also opt for the Atom N455  processors, where all of them will be able to handle faster DDR3 memory for better performance.

Depending on your preference, you can choose from a standard or the touch-screen model that is capable of handling a range of multitouch gestures, finger taps and swipes across the screen for more convenient navigation of applications, information and websites. The HP Mini 5103 will also be accompanied by a sturdy, lightweight, anodized-aluminum display enclosure with a brushed, espresso-coloured finish. You won’t find your fingers cramped either, simply because it is 95% the size of a full QWERTY keyboard alongside the addition of a touchpad that delivers an optimal experience for email, instant messaging and other text-driven applications.

Other hardware specifications include a 10.1-inch diagonal LED-backlit display, a Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerator card, a six-cell battery for longer battery life, the HP DayStarter software program, and a HSPA 3G Mobile Broadband Module.
