HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favourite netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.
While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.
