Coveting a beautiful new netbook but can't quite manage the $399 for a new HP Mini 5101/5102 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/mini5101|mini5102)? Maybe this knock-off would fit your budget, looking more or less indistinguishable from the real thing. The ports have a slightly different layout (with some of them looking a wee bit askew) and the red hue here doesn't have quite the same lustre of the real thing (http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-mini-5102-hands-on/#2583494) -- but it is awfully close, right down to the chrome HP logo on the lid. How much would you pay for this piece of impressioned gadgetry? How about $337? Sure, the difference is enough to cover a copy of Heavy Rain, but could you live with yourself typing your e-mail every day on a lie? Beyond that, we have a suspicion this thing wouldn't last much longer than the Origami Killer's victims.Keepin' it real fake: HP Mini 5101 knockoff is almost as good, almost as expensive as the real thing (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/06/keepin-it-real-fake-hp-mini-5101-knockoff-looks-as-good-as-the/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:13:00 EST.
