Hewlett-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.

What's going on at Virgin Casino these days? Hardly a day goes by these days without the announcement of another popular favorite to the Virgin slots collection, perhaps the best among all no-download casinos.
All three games come courtesy of Virgin's recent agreement with Microgaming. After bringing in slot game standards like Tomb Raider, Hitman and Thunderstruck, Virgin Casino continues to top off their 100 casino games with more great titles from the big software company. Three online slots have been added to the catalogue in the past week: Mermaid's Millions, Cashapillar and Pharaoh's Treasure.
Mermaid's Millions takes players to the land of Neptune on 15 paylines with a maximum 7,500-coin payout. There are also two bonus games in here, a free spins round of 10 games, and the "Treasure Bonus Game" in which the player chooses four symbols for prize payouts.
Cashapillar was one of the internet's first-ever 100-payline games and remains a top favorite at most Microgaming-powered casinos. It's a whole lot of action and mayhem in this bug-themed slot game. There are also stacked wilds in all five reels and a free spins round with 15 spins at 3x multiplier and 6x multiplier symbols in play.
Last but not least, Pharaoh's Treasure is a progressive jackpot slot based on good old ancient Egypt. This game has already paid out over £100,000 three times this year, with the last big win registered in July.
Virgin Casino invites you to try Pharaoh's Treasure, Cashapillar, Mermaid's Millions and nearly 100 more games in its excellent no download casino with a 100% welcome bonus worth up to £100.
