How do these companies pick their product names? How did they get from 2140 to 5101? Random number generator?

Grrr. I wish netbooks more commonly had dedicated home/end keys (and page up/down keys). I realize space is limited…but with this design, there is room next to the arrows for dedicated keys! By now, I’m used to pressing Fn + Shift + Ctrl + End to highlight from my cursor to the end of a document, but that’s a bit excessive

While I’m a huge fan of HP products (I own a 2140HD), I think I will pass on this one. I’ll wait for the Pinetrail version to come out before upgrading again.

My first impression was HP is trying to imitate the Sony TT with this. It doesn’t look much different from the 2140 as far as specs go, but if color is important, black notebooks are faster…

I agree the Toshiba NB200 looks so much nicer, but the Toshiba only does 10/100 LAN and HP has that hi-res display option that I like so much.

I only wish Pinetrail were here – I hate waiting.

i couldnt even tell it was a Mini at 1st.

HP is 1 of if not the leader in overall netbook design, but is the 6-cell another 1 of those big bump monstrosities hanging off the machine?
