The HP Mini 5101 is a netbook.

About the max RAM-question:

Microsoft has decided that to be allowed to sell a computer with XPH or W7S it has to be a netbook by their definition, which means max 1GB RAM (and 160GB/250GB HD). So HP just state this, although it's works just fine with 2GB (HP's own 2GB editions have other Windows versions).

@soilheart Yup, I've read you're right about the MS's restriction on the RAM, though it's the 1st time I've heard them imposing a restriction on HDD capacity as well. Anything more, have to be an after-market distro- or user manual upgrade.

[ralliart12]

@Zcru12 this current unit is running on 2GB of RAM :-)

@ralliart12 How Did You Get That Boot Logo? My Boot Logo Is Just A Loading Bar With Nothing On It And By The Way, My Operating System Is Windows 7 Home Premium.

So the hp mini isn't just a windows 7 startup its also installed or is that a seperate accessory added ?

I don't tink the experience will be pleasant. In fact, even running Windows 7 Pro on 1GB RAM, on an Atom machine, may prove to be unpleasant.

Hi Schaltza, the successor to this model, the 5102, still has NO Ion graphics chip and they simply refresh the processor to the newer N450 & give the option of having a full touchscreen & load up Win7 Starter Ed. by default as well.
