HP announces their fastest netbook ever

September 2nd, 2010

HP Mini 5103Hewlett-Packard has broken their own speed barrier with the announcement of a huge upgrade to the current HP Mini 5103 line, making it the fastest netbook they have ever produced.

This powerhouse sports an N550 dual-core processor, which runs at a speed of 1.5GHz, giving the netbook a 20% boost in speed over all current HP netbook computers.

The netbook will have intense graphic capabilities, making it great for gaming. The standard model will offer 720p playback, while an optional video acceleration card will give the machine the ability to play 1080p video. A 10.1-inch display is perfect for showing off what this little guy can do.

The best part about this new netbook is its price: the line will start at just $399 (but this is for a weaker single-core version). While a dual core netbook is probably overkill for playing online casino games, a little extra computing power never hurt anyone! Plus, with a battery life of between 10 and 11 hours, this is definitely a netbook to look forward to.

    it seems the line between netbooks and notebooks is really starting to blur. pretty soon, notebooks will just be tiny netbooks!

    this is great news. all that netbooks lack is a good processor.

    now that i’ve recently discovered the magic of just connecting to an external monitor, my netbook really became a “tool” as opposed to just an email gadget.
