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)

Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.




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).
