HP introduces new Mini business netbook

From InfoWorld: Seeking to cement its lead in the business-oriented netbook space, Hewlett-Packard Wednesday announced an updated Mini netbook.

Starting at $449, the Mini 5101 will come with a brighter OLED screen, a larger, spill-resistant keyboard, and a better-resolution 2-megapixel Webcam.

The Mini 5101 will also have a slightly faster Intel Atom processor, a new security feature and a higher-quality metal case than the current Mini 2140, according to Carol Hess-Nickels, director of marketing for business netbooks at HP.

The Mini 5101 will use Intel's Atom N280, which runs at 1.66 GHz, instead of the 1.6 GHz N270 in the Mini 2140, released less than six months ago.

The 5101 will retain the Mini 2140's spiffy anodized aluminum case, but add a magnesium metal bottom, said Hess-Nickels.
