HP Mini 5102: This Netbook Means Business
by Jarred Walton on September 22, 2010 12:15 AM ESTHP Mini 5102 Performance
We’ve looked at the build quality and multimedia capabilities, but just to be complete here’s our standard netbook benchmarks.
There’s nothing too surprising here, though we would have expected a 7200RPM drive to do better in the PCMark tests. The gap between the fastest and slowest netbook here is small in most of the tests, but in PCMark05 it’s an 8% gap and in Vantage it grows to 23%, with the 5102 coming in near the bottom in both cases. We do clean up the excess utilities and bloatware that comes on most laptops, and Atom netbooks are typically so slow that they never feel “fast”. They get the job done for basic tasks and that’s about it.
Graphics performance isn’t really worth discussing. The 5102 places near the top of our Atom N450 group this time, but they’re less than half the performance of even the old CULV platform, let alone stuff like the AMD Nile offerings and Intel’s i3/i5 ULV platform.

Every. Single. Time I see it in use. I can see going with Intel graphics for the price savings, since realistically Ion systems are $450 and up. Obviously I can see going with Ion for the better GPU and drivers.But going with Broadcom INSTEAD of Nvidia? Ugh.

I recently needed a new laptop and decide to try the HP Mini 5102 as a replacement machine. I got it with Win 7 Pro with 2 Gig, HD screen, Broadcom Crystal chip, and 6 cell battery. So far I'm completely happy with it. Use it mostly for browsing, email, Office, VPN, telnet and watching Hulu.ohjerseys - Friday, April 27, 2012 - link
