HP is aiming for the professional market with its latest mini notebook, the Mini 5101.

The HP Mini 5101 comes with a 10.1in widescreen display, a '95 percent' keyboard, 1.66GHz Atom N280 CPU, 1G or 2G of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11a/b/g/draft-n wireless networking, Bluetooth 2.0, a 2 MP webcam, and an SD/MMC slot.

Durability features include a proprietary wear-resistant coating on the keys, an accelerometer to help protect the hard drive, a scratch-resistant LCD cover, and a magnesium hinge bracket.

Options for the 5101 are a six-cell battery (vs the standard four-cell unit), an 80 or 120G SSD (in place of the 160 or 320G 7200 rpm hard drive), and an integrated wireless broadband module.

Depending on the configuration, the Mini 5101 comes with Windows XP Home or Vista Business with an XP downgrade.

"HP Mini PCs have no equal when it comes to cutting edge, industrial design; use of innovative materials; and overall feature sets," claimed Kerry Pynor, market development manager, commercial notebooks, personal systems group, HP Australia.

"Starting at 1.18 kg the HP Mini 5101 is perfect for professionals who need a lightweight, portable device that delivers on functionality, and will survive the everyday bumps and knocks a business notebook PC should."

The Mini 5101 will ship in August. The starting price is $A799.
