#HP Mini Laptops

The HP Mini 311 is Hewlett-Packards' latest and largest iteration of the Atom-powered netbook. The HP Mini 311 went out with a design that crosses between the HP Mini 2140 and the Mini 110 -- a glossy, black swirl lid and matte silver keyboard finish. In most respects, the Mini 311 has almost the same internal specs as the other previous mini-notes with the single exception of a souped up platform -- an NVidia Ion LE, which includes the nVidia GeForce 9400M graphics with 512 dedicated memory. If there's one thing I appreciate the most, it's the screen real estate of the HP Mini 311 -- the glossy screen is bright and crisp with a pretty nice resolution of 1366x768 pixels. With size comes comfort and the bigger form factor of the Mini 311 allows for a much more comfortable keyboard layout. It's the same as the one in the Mini 2140 but you get a more spacious palm rest and a much bigger (like 50% more area than the Mini 2140) trackpad with separated left and right clickers. For a suggested retail price of Php28,990, the HP Mini 311 seemed a bit on the expensive side but considering you also get an external DVD+RW out of the box (worth Php3-4k), I think it's a worthy buy.
