Pushing the limits on “Mini,” HP introduces Mini 311 with 11.6-inch screen

Pushing the limits on “Mini,” HP introduces Mini 311 with 11.6-inch screen

How’s this for a set of specs?  An 11.6-inch display with 1366 x 768 resolution powered by NVIDIA ION, HDMI out, 3.22 pounds, 1.60 GHz Intel Atom, 1GB of DDR3 RAM, and 6 hours of battery life at $399.  Sounds pretty good to me.  The downsides: this netbook still can’t handle streaming HD video, there is no wireless n (only b/g), some crapware is preinstalled like AOL Portal and MSN Toolbar.  Then again, at that price, it’s hard to complain. 

    Selected Specs:
  • Processor: Intel Atom Processor N720
  • Memory: 1024MB DDR3 System Memory (1 Dimm), Max supported = 3072MB
  • Graphics: NVIDIA ION LE for Windows XP with up to 319MB total graphics memory
  • Networking: 802.11b/g, 10/100 NIC
  • Card reader: 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader for Secure Digital cards, MultiMedia cards, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, or xD Picture cards
  • Connectors: 3 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, 1 VGA (15-pin), RJ -45 (LAN)

    If you order from HP direct, you can get the unit upgraded to 802.11n, Bluetooth, and a faster CPU (Atom N280 - 1.66 GHz, 667 MHz FSB) - each upgrade is an extra $25. IMO totally worth it - I love mine (though I did blow XP off of it right away).
