    A smart option for road warriors and students, the HP Mini 5102 (starting at $399; $424 as configured) is more durable and secure than the typical netbook, and won’t need to see an outlet until the end of your work or Read more

    • Great looks and solid construction; good keyboard; 7,200rpm HDD standard; lots of optional upgrades.
    • Fingerprint-prone; can get extremely expensive; weird function-key switching; can't compete with CULV ultrathins.
