HP Mini 5103 business netbook in the works

HP appears to be preparing to refresh its business class netbook line with a new model called the HP Mini 5103. For the most part, this model looks like the HP Mini 5102 I reviewed a few months ago. But the new model will come with a choice of a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 or 1.86GHz Intel Atom N475 processor.

What that means is that unlike the HP Mini 5102, the 5103 supports faster DDR3 memory — although the difference in performance will likely be pretty minimal.

Like other business netbooks from HP, the Mini 5103 has premium features such as a 7200RPM hard drive, an accelerometer to shut off the hard drive in the event of a fall, and a magnesium alloy case. The netbook also comes with a slew of options including an optional Broadcom HD video accelerator, optional touchscreen display, choice of a hard drive or solid state disk, and a choice of operating systems including SUSE Linux, Windows 7 Starter, or Windows 7 Home Premium.

You can find detailed specs at HP Italy. The HP US site has a support page for the netbook, but there’s not much information available on the US site.The HP Mini 5103 is also available for purchase in Italy for between €482 and €597.

    Well, to be fair, no netbook has the Atom N550 just yet. HP could update this model or release yet another model soon with a dual core chip once it's available.

    Unless this comes with the handle and HD display included as one of the under-$600 packages, I don't see this being much in the way of news. More of a refresh followed by status quo than a proper new model, a 5102+ if you will.

    It's actually kind of weird that they went for faster single-core and DDR3, rather than the more practical dual-core. It is a business netbook, after all.

    WHAT!??
    i was SERIOUSLY waiting for 5103 to feature a dual core atom N550
    what a complete letdown….

    I've just skimmed through the 5103 maintenance and service guide to see if the part number for the fan is the same (current one's apparently a bit noisy, which puts me off) and I find that TWO parts are listed for the heatsink/fan assembly: the standard one (same as 5102) and one labeled “for use with dual-core models”.

    So I guess a dual-core model is on the way.

    OMG thats exciting
    thank you! i hope it does come with a dual core option
