The 10.1-inch screen on the Mini 5102 is a nice LED-backlit display panel with a 1024×600 native resolution. The matte screen surface is a welcome change compared to the glossy screens we usually see in netbooks. The matte surface helps to prevent glare and reflection on the surface of the screen under bright indoor lights and helps improve sunlight readability.
Despite the nice matte screen surface, we really wish the 5102 used an 11.6-inch screen and 1366×768 resolution seen on many modern netbooks. A resolution of 1024×600 is okay in a pinch, but many websites just don’t look right without a minimum vertical resolution of 768 pixels. On that note, HP includes at least some software optimized for lower-resolution screens. Corel Home Office (compatible with Microsoft Office) comes pre-loaded with this netbook and the Corel software looks much better than using Microsoft Word or PowerPoint on the tiny screen.
