HP Pushing the mark with the Mini 311
Netbooks are becoming cooler by the day. I you’re going on holidays, on a journey or just need something light that can get the job done then a netbook is your best bet. However, they have their drawbacks – namely that they run an outdated OS, have bad graphics and are slow.
However, HP is looking to change all of that with their Mini 311 seen here in the picture. Basically, they have amped up the graphics and all of the other innards so that they’re approaching laptop specs (see list below). What’s more, it will soon begin to ship with Windows 7 instead of the current OS on the system – XP.
One bad bit is that you have to pay extra for a white lid and for a netbook, the price is already steep enough at the $400 mark.
Specs:
RAM: 1GB
OS: XP (soon to be Win7)
Hard Drive: 160GB
Processor: Intel 1.6GHz

The biggest difference with this machine, is that it runs on the new NVIDIA ION (LE) platform, which is based around a 9400 GPU and has VGA AND HDMI video outputs. to take advantage of the HD video and audio output over HDMI.
