Thanks!

Can you please recommend something? Any netbook or even a laptop that’s just about the same price as he HP mini 311, and the specs is about the same or maybe even better… I prefer those with screen size of about 11-13″… Thank you so much!

Hello!

@Yuga… So, after a few months of using the HP Mini 311, do you still think that’s it’s worth it to buy that compared with other netbooks or even laptops in the market? I really like the specs of this netbook but I’m really confused as well. I was thinking that if I would buy this with that price, maybe it would be better to buy a full blown laptop with better specs with just about the same price. Can you please help me decide…

Thanks a lot!

I agree with Tsais.. We only want the unit.. We don’t need that windows 7 starter.. and also that ODD.. Consumers are being force to buy extra peripherals just to have the unit..

@tsais – there’s no tax in the US if you bought it online. In the Philippines, there’s customs tax and there’s 12% VAT so there goes your price discrepancy. Also include foreign exchange surcharges (around 2-5%). Is the one in the US also come with a DVDRW?

I expected a somewhat increased price in the Philippines, but the price of 28,990 PHP is beyond all reason…the computer goes for $319 on HP’s U.S. website. At current exchange rates, 28,990 PHP converts to $616…

Apparently, its unwise to buy computers in the Philippines, yipes!

I’m planning to get a globe wimax over the dsl broadband that globe offers. Just wanted to know if any of you guys has tried their service and w/c is a better deal. Also they say that the modem kit will come w/ a SIM for both plans. Can this be used w/ the hp mini 311 and do i have to tweak it to be wimax ready.

After bricking my MSI u100, was planning to get the U210. But saw this mini and got this instead.

IMHO
Good point is the ION, Altec Lansing and the Dual layer lightscribe drive. And its upgradable to 3 GB ram. Multitouch was a good bonus. And the provision for a 3G modem slot with an accessible sim holder under the battery.

In the long run, i think mas gusto ko itsura nito. It is on the pricey side. And the features you get for the price is not that great, higher specs with the MSI, I agree.

After modding my U100 before, TV tuner, 3g modem, 500 GB hdd, 2GB RAM, overclock, 9 cell battery, touchscreen… Hindi ko mapalitan ang speaker… MSI needs to improve sa speakers nila, I’m impressed with the mini’s AL speakers. I know, get headphones, pero you’ll get annoyed sa headsets after a while.

IMHO lang po.

@jim
no software needed to install. isaksak mo lang ang sim sa loob then make sure windows xp ka and nakainstall ang WWAN driver mo from HP then your good to go. i cannot take a screenshot since nka Sn0w Leopard ako sa Mini ko

@LunaTech Sir pano nyo ginawa yun? Balak ko kase humiram ng smartBro sa mga ka officemate ko then install ko yung software na kasama noon then lalagyan ko na lang ng simcard ko… yun na ba yun? or me iba pa ako kelangang gawin??

@yuga Sir do i need to create another thread for this topic??

LunaTech — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:48:26 +0000

@jim – i tried it on my Mini (Compaq Mini 700ee). it works with smart and globe but i havent tried sun cell or other sims. Kaya im also planning to buy this december, need lang mag-ipon muna.

@jim – same store where I bought the unit. They gave me a discount one the additional 1GB stick of DDR3 RAM (cash).

@yuga sir san nakakabili ng ram ddr3 2GB ng P1,500?? eto kase ang maganda sa mini 311, built in yung 1 gb ram, meaning to upgrade it, di mo na kelangan na mag alis ng memory. dagdag na lang kase me 1 slot avaiable para sa RAm.

Has any one tried yung broadband capabilities ng mga netbook dito sa pinas??? kase merong sim card slot ang mga netbook, baka pwede na lagyan na lang ng sim card tapos loadan na lang yung sim tapos para ka ng me globe tattoo or smart bro. d pa lang ako sure kung papayagan ng mga telecom providers, kase siguro wala na bibili yung mga ibenebenta nila na WIFI.

whoops.. hit the submit button too fast. That would be 802.11n not 801.11n

By: lolipown

lolipown — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:11:54 +0000

^
801.11n has a much larger throughput (from 54 Mbit/s to a theoretical maximum of 600 Mbit/s) and signal range compared to b/g.
