11.6″ HP Mini 311 netbook gets official

HP has finally unveiled their very own version of the 11.6″ netbook. The HP Mini 311 will also feature a more powerful graphics chip, an NVidia Ion LE.


hp mini 311

11.6″ display screen @ 1366 x 768 pixels
Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz
NVidia Ion LE with up to 3,19MB memory
1GB DDR3 (max 2GB)
160GB SATA HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g
HDMI port
5-in-1 card reader
6 cell Li-Ion battery

Will come pre-installed with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and a DDR3 RAM is a welcome upgrade (the first netbook to have DDR3). It’s a bit heavy though at 3.22 pounds. Price starts at $399 so this is gonna be the cheapest in the 12-inch category (price could go up for upgraded the RAM and HDD capacity).

    I wonder why HP keeps on outdoing itself in only a short span of time. I’m guessing they’ll make this thing obsolete after three to four months.

  2. Darren says:

    not interested ~

    Their gonna do the graphics better. unlike the hp mini 110 xp ed, where its stuck to 1024 x 576. some games won’t work and other applications too …

  4. herbert says:

    The market is too saturated with netbooks.

  5. HP has been constantly evolving into the Nokia-ish.

    on the other hand, maybe a bigger 11incher screen would be enough reason to veer away from the almiminum lid and magnesium bottom, since larger screen adds more weight.

    my only gripe with HP is that they have a mediocre battery. HP Mini 5101′s 6cell battery can only last about 5hours, practically.

    an nvidia ion netbook, finally.

  7. truevali says:

    shucks… i want this. how about my mini note. its already obsolete?! kainis…

  8. Ton says:

    The specs look almost exactly like win7′s minimum. coincidence?

  9. @Ton: there’s no such thing as coincidence in product development.

  10. cris says:

    i wonder if it could play HD movies without a glitch

  11. creepy.chan says:

    is it really Intel Atom N270 or n280?

  12. josengsisiW says:

    STILL 1GB???

  13. myke says:

    does NVidia Ion LE has its own memory or will it share with the netbook’s RAM?

  14. Calvin says:

    yummy. although pass muna. I like the Ion and DDR3 part but the n270 or even n280 is already getting obsolete.

  16. Neo says:

  17. Neo says:

  18. Reel Advice says:

    Hopefully the price won’t bloat too much when it arrives here!

    My sister is looking for a 11-12″ netbook. This might be one of the top choices i can recommend her.

  19. ron says:

    @reel

    Alien!

  20. jehzlau says:

    wOW sweeet! I love the design! Parang TX na hindi tablet… and smaller. :)

  21. KATHY says:

    MGA Bossing, i’m planning to get a netbook and 2140 is kinda ok with me pero kaya kaya ng HP ang photoshop? or can you guys recommend a nice netbook other than HP? this will be my very first netbook. thanks

    @KATHY: go for the notebooks with the CULV processors, or yung merong AMD processor., The atom is not made for heavy processing like the one needed for graphics work.

  23. ricooh says:
