We just took a first look at the HP Mini 5103 a few days ago and it’s now shipping. Well, in the US at least. This HP is the new business class netbook from HP. It’s virtually identical to the HP Mini 5102 except that it has newer Intel Atom processors that can support DDR3 memory.

Her’s a quick overview of the specs:
