I had an HP Mini 5102 and I absolutely loved it! I actually revived it a few years ago and used it for some modern programming tasks. I think I tried to compile rustc on it once and had to leave it on for the night, coming back to it in the morning and finding that it had just frozen fully.

Unfortunately its CMOS battery ran out and when I went in to replace it I had to unplug a few ribbon cables which of course promptly snapped the now-brittle plastic connectors. Its been sitting on a shelf waiting to be revived once again ever since... I miss that little thing.
