Hi All,

This is the ebay URL;
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HP-5102-10inch-Netbook-N450-1-66Ghz-2…
It's from the same store but it's $249 inc. delivery

I just picked up this netbook, it was by far the cheapest around when the specs are taken into consideration. It comes with Windows Vista but if you can live with that or upgrade it to Windows 7 (like I plan to) it's pretty good value.

Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz CPU
2G RAM
160G 7200rpm HDD
10.1 (1366*768) HD Display
Wireless N Bluetooth
2MP Webcam
6 Cell Battery
Vista Basic

I purchased mine from in store at Wynyard, not sure if the other stores have stock but they should because I was told that they have 300 in their warehouse

***was $249 delivered on ebay but the price has gone up to $259 - I still presume the price in store is $249 but it may have also gone to $259.

    Might want to correct the specs on screen resolution. Its not 1366x768 from what I can remember.

    the hard drive can't possibly be 7200rpm, could it?

      All the specs are correct - call the shop to confirm, if you like.

  • mustkill on 14/02/2011 - 16:19

    no way its 1366*768
    cnet says 1024 x 600 pixels

      I assure you that the specs are correct - The screen has been upgraded to 1366*768 - Call the shop to confirm. My work computer doesn't let me upload a pic from the side of the box so I can't post a pic from the side of the box.

      • Jacku on 14/02/2011 - 17:04

        Hey I just called York Street. They said 1024 x 600…

          I called Haymarket store and they confirm it's indeed 1366 x 768.

          I'm at the shop right now and doing this ridiculous slow Vista initial setup…. Once I get into Windows I shall check the screen resolution…

          Coming back soon!!!!

    Definitely appears to have a 1366x768 screen:

    CNET says: "All Mini 5102s in Australia come with a 1366x768 native resolution, 10.1-inch screen;"

    • Cluster on 14/02/2011 - 18:37

      1366x768 on a 10" LCD is pretty amazing in the Australian marketplace. I don't think I've seen a netbook with a resolution as high.

      • cyssero on 14/02/2011 - 22:47

      It's funny that everyone questions the spec's, they are unbelievable and I assure that they are all true.

      I never thought much of them. I always thought they were too small. underpowered, etc.

      got a em350 and I can walk around the house with it. it's light. great wifi.

      this HP with nice resolution would be sweet.

        I now have a Probook 4510S (which I love) and this laptop looks exactly the same minus the numpad, and its obviously smaller. That is the real reason I want one. I want the mini me to my laptop hahaha. I don't know if I will get it…I need that money for my final year of uni and this will not help me in anyway…friggin impulse buys, must curb them!

    • Chris McMahon on 14/02/2011 - 18:46

      Looks like I got in just under the line then. I got the added insurance for a total of $254 delivered.

    • issh on 14/02/2011 - 18:48

      possible because their online store is linked to ebay store(as in they use same stock) and therefore they sold 12 on ebay and sold 85 on their online store

  • kds123 on 14/02/2011 - 18:44

          i have heard/read many stories about defective laptops(home based) i have an HP i7 laptop that gets quite hot(presumably i7)
          but i have to say that most post/comments about HP built is by people who have problems with them, you will rarely see/read a post with no problems(what i'm trying to say that is people won't talk about a product when it is good, they will only talk about problems they have)
          and also
          all electronic brands(whether computers/laptops, or air conditioner, or even a TV) have/sell defective, its just the draw of the lucky one that is not defective, but hp home-based notebooks have one of the HIGHEST defective rates, but their business notebooks are quite good(in terms of failure rates)

          Yes ,I know what you said, but have you see any laptops broken more than 70% (even more) before two years, the I7 is fine because it does not have a 8600GS, the 8600GS never last more than 2 years, all old DV with and all other company recall but HP. their are 1000+ post against HP in HP website, and those post still there, HP never replay those post. and also the 1 years warranty, so I should hope my laptop broken within 1 year? and those broken within 1 year got fixed for sure, but they all broken again very soon, after warranty HP stop fix those, too.

          the link show 700+ post (were 1000+, been deleted) against that, and post were too many to delete.
          http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/HP-dv2000-600…

          and on youtube, I can find more than 500 video against same issue.

      Price on site stayed the same. Price on eBay changed (the listing is user submitted, and was updated with the eBay link).
      It's likely they accidentally listed it on eBay for $249 and noticed it when they saw (more than) usual orders, so corrected it to $259.
      Guess they're not desperate to clear all their stock yet. :)

  • striker5950 on 14/02/2011 - 20:21

    ok done some research and these things are slow, not this particular model but netbooks in general, well slow when u run multiple apps on them or having more than 3 windows open at the same time 2 gigs do not make that much of a difference 2 secs faster booting time based on a video i watched, if u want it for email,chat, basic stuff go for it,if ur planning to get it for uni save some more money and get ur self a decent laptop like the lenovo deal few days ago, thats just my 2 cents.

    • Lukian on 14/02/2011 - 20:25

      Depends on what you are doing at uni. If you're just typing, emailing, watching lectures and opening PDF's/PPT's it'll do the job nicely - especially with a 1366x768 screen. One review complemented the quality of the 95% keyboard on this HP model.

      If Vista is too slow, take your pick from MeeGo, Jolicloud, Ubuntu Netbook Edition "2D" and other OS distributions.

    Shame its a single core CPU - I bought one anyway - is entry level netbook pricing but very solid build quality. As long as you're happy with a gutless CPU you'll be fine - will drop Ubuntu or Win7 Pro onto it - would suck with Vista on it. Nice buy.

    I would stay away from OrangeIT. I bought a HP mini 210 from them last month and having a hard time getting the case they promised. They don't reply to emails (blamed water damage) and when they do leave a message after I opened a paypal claim it's very vague and non-committal. I have only received 1 response but no case or money back. They haven't made it clear if they will send me a case or money. Hopefully paypal can step in and I get some money back and I can get a sleeve.

        That's after I emailed them 3 times. I only resorted to paypal because OrangeIT never replied. I guess that's why paypal have a system, where customers feel short changed by retailers. OrangeIT sold me, and I ordered a netbook with case. I didn't get what I ordered. I would have been happy if they sent out the case, no questions asked. I understand if they forgot. Not sure where you got $10 from. That's the price quoted too, but on their website the cheapest case is $18+postage.

      You actually tested it, or just looked up Intel's website like everyone else in the world?

    Does anyone know where you can get a similar netbook to this (10.1 inch screen, 160GB hard disk) with windows 7 for under $300?
