Now that didn’t took so long — the HP Mini 311 is now available and selling for Php28,990 in Complink and eHub stores. This according to a couple people who bought it this week-end and left comments here.
So I called up two branches of Complink (SM North EDSA and Park Square 1) to confirm this and they indeed have it on stock.
At 0% interest for 12 months installment, the HP Mini 311 has the ff. specs:
HP Mini 311
11.6″ display screen @ 1366 x 768 pixels
Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz
NVidia Ion LE
1GB DDR3
160GB SATA HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g
HDMI port
5-in-1 card reader
Altec Lansing speaker
6 cell Li-Ion battery
What’s a bit confusing is that the sales ladies both quoted me a different model. One said it’s 1001 while the other said its 113. The official SKU is 311 on HP’s website. They were correct with the 11.6″ and the Php29k price though.
Will be dropping by one of the stores to check it out and probably get one for review. Hopefully, they have options to upgrade the HDD and the RAM.
Updated: Forgot to include the external DVD+RW Drive that comes with the package price.
im planning to get this for myself as a christmas gift. was wondring if it can be able to handles CS3, and if the ddr is upgradable.
It should be able to handle cs3 with ease once you’ve upgraded the ram. The unit comes with a blank ram slot so you can add a 2gb ram on top of the built in 1gb amounting to 3gb max.
its a bit expensive

Great!
I’m opting to buy a new netbook/notebook sometime around this month in replace for my old Acer notebook. I wonder if you’ve got any shops in mind that accepts installments?
29K with no OS yet? How common is DDR3 laptop mems now?
Its a bit expensive considering that some of the same specs are pegged at less than 25 k don’t you think? I’ve heard that DDR3 Ram are also expensive than ordinary, what’s the need for DDR3 anyway?
By the way, any word on the laptop models with built in TV tuner? I hope you can feature one again.
looks neat…. but at almost P29k, it’s pricey. i agree, the MSI U210 is a better buy.
this is expensive. it’s just 399 dollars in hp’s website with xp OS
Yeah, the MSI Wind looks definitely better even if we just consider the specs alone. DDR3 is a looker but would it really make a difference when we are talking about netbooks here?
hey guys, the 29k comes with an external dvd drive
so technically the Php 6,000 difference is because of the DDR3 Ram, na 1GB lang? bakit ba ang hirap pumili!? Will it be Wind or Mini for me?
Ay sorry bro may external DVD drive na pala yun… magkano kaya kung wala, tapos my OEM na Windows 7 hehehe
MSI Wind12 U210x
12.1″ screen @ 1355×768 pixels

ATI Radeon Xpress 1270 128MB
250GB Toshiba SATA HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
1.3MP webcam

3 USB 2.0 ports
HDMI port
9-cell battery
Pluses
*bigger screen
*double RAM capacity (but DDR2?)
*larger HDD
* wifi has 802.11n
* 9 cell battery
*all for a price that is cheaper (supposedly)
Minuses (against Mini 311)
*kulang na lang ng isa para maging 5-in-1
*no Altec Lansing speakers
*Blander design (look at the the mini, it’s sexy)
*no external dvd player/writer
toss up na siguro yung proc at graphics (I’ve seen the U210x play COD4 and N4S as well.)
another one of those units with HDMI but no digital audio out, this is definitely not for me even if the price goes down to 15k.
^^ I guess why they didn’t include that is because of the HDMI. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe both Wind and Mini is capable of passing video and audio through the single cable.
@berkano you are right but you need a receiver with HDMI to fully enjoy the audio. This unit is not for poor souls like me who own a legacy receiver with only coaxial and optical digital inputs.
@chrislpc – I guess you’re out of luck. I have not encountered any netbook that has digital audio output. I don’t think it’s on top of their to do list.
@berkano – the HP DVD writer is included inside the box and not sold separately. No way to get the netbook only without the DVD drive. I guess the drive would cost about 4k to 5k.
@albert king – you cna always buy those cheap USB TV tuners that costs about Php2k and plug them on the one netbook you really like.
@Jes – comes pre-installed with Windows XP
@kenneth – almost all major shops (Complink, VillaMan, eHub, Electroworld, etc.) accept 12 months at 0% interest as long as major credit card.
@braindead – the RAM is upgradeable to 2GB DDR3 for Php1,500.
29k for a netbook? No No.. Netbook should be cheap. will wait for the price to decrease..
@paulc – HP has alternatives for their netbook line. The HP Mini 110 is 19k, the Mini 2140 is 23k and the Mini 311 is Php29k. Priced evenly apart for market segmentation. Depends on your budget.
Ahhhh! Just bought an MSI EX460 yesterday… Sayang kasi I was waiting for a mobile unit with an ION for some time now, kaya lang tagal eh…
I would have bought HP Mini 311 instead of my MSI EX460 pero nandito na eh… And except for its size, I have no regrets with what I got…
I am currently playing Company of Heroes, and the performance is super…
Wait nalng natin na ibenta cia d2 na me kasama nang windows 7, 250 gb hdd at 3 gb of ram:) parang sa website
@Pusang Kulog
What’s the price for the MMSI EX460?
@lolipown – i bought it for Php34,900 from Accent Micro at SM Pampanga. Didn’t venture to go to Manila as it was November 2 and I know that traffic was too heavy. I heard that you can get it in Manila for Php33k. I’m from Bataan…
Hi Yuga, any word on the HP dm3? I’m hoping to snag one to replace the Asus 1008HA I disposed. Thanks in advance.
