Description
The Internet is at the center of modern life keeping you connected and informed through email, IMs, RSS feeds, social networking sites and Search. Keeping up often requires time shifting with companion devices like netbooks. Powered by energy-efficient Intel Atom processors, the HP Mini 311 is optimized for Web access and can handle standard productivity apps - but is light enough to carry everywhere at just 3.22 lbs. Its 16:9 11.6-Inch diagonal HD LED BrightView display makes viewing HD content and two documents side by side possible. The 92 percentage of full-size keyboard enables much more efficient and comfortable use than texting (or typing on smartphone keyboards) for most. The touchpad has buttons at the bottom for intuitive use. The HP Mini 311 is the perfect device for staying productive, informed, in touch and entertained on the go.

HP forces use of Windows 7 with its configurations Jul 23, 2010 Want to have more than 1GB of RAM, well HP configurator forces you to use Windows 7 even though XP supports up to 3GB of RAM. Want a hard drive larger than 160GB well again HP forces the buyer to accept a machine with Windows 7.
With Windows 7 there is a 40% performance hit and considering that the netbook uses a reduced performance processor to maximize battery life, this is the most significant factor in overall performance of a netbook. With other companies one can purchase a netbook with Windows XP and a 250GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM and is not forced to buy a machine with Windows 7 installed.
Be aware that Windows 7 comes in 6 or more variations and for support for 4GB in a computer you need the 64 bit version. Most of the laptops are sold with Windows 7 32 bit and this does not support the full amount of memory that can be installed in the laptop or netbook.

Biggest piece of crap netbook ever get an ASUS May 23, 2010 Why on earth would HP make a netbook with windows 7 and an HDMI port when the processors cant even support youtube or streaming video? I have had nothing but problems with this computer and HP refuses to take responsibility for its inability to perform as it should. I have a tera byte of hi-def that I cannot play on this and HP have done the same thing over and over again.. take control of the netbook and poke around in there and do nothing. I have hours of video documentation of this little gem not performing as the video gets stuck and sputters along while the audio plays on and off completely out of synch EVERY TIME. The last HP 17 inch HDMIn I had was ok at first but the battery stopped working and they had to recall it. I had two fans on it keeping it cool until they finally asked for me to send it to them and it died two months after. I have also had the blue screen of death on the netbook. I am not an HP hater.. they have just have been no help and the CSR's dont know what to do with a produck that HP wont even support. DO NOT BUY HP GET ASUS OR DELL I HAVE TONS OF VIDEO ON YOUTUBE OF IT NOT PERFORMING LOOK UNDER HP MINI 311. by far the worst piece of crap out there.. I got it for travelling and its been a waste of my time, energy and money

Its still just a netbook Apr 23, 2010 I bought this model of computer through Verizon Wireless for $199 dollars and a two year data agreement. I replaced a Lenovo S10e that I have had for about a year. The problem with the Lenovo was the weak Intel graphics which were really showing its age. Unfortunately the HP311 and the ION graphics from NVIDIA did not really help. The real issue is the Atom CPU which is a single core chip and even though it has hyper threading which allows for two threads at a time. It does not compete with a two core chip. Windows 7 Premium is good but it does seem to slow it down and I am not sure that it was the right choice for this type of Netbook. Maybe with a newer duel core Atom chip it might have been better. All in all this little netbook does have a perfect size screen and it works much better with the web page designs. You save yourself a lot of scrolling. The keyboard is very nice and you make a lot less mistakes typing with the bigger keys. The Touchpad is another story because although it is pretty big it also has a nagging drag to it. Sometimes its unresponsive and sometimes its irattic. Fan noise is minimal but the fan does seem to run all the time! My advise is not to spend more then $400 on this computer and upgrade to a real noetbook unless you really like this netbook. Its a bit pricy for what you get and it deffinately cannot replace the performance of even a cheaper Celeron duel core in a cheap Notebook.
Great buy! Apr 14, 2010 Bought this a couple of weeks ago, and I must say I'm very happy I did. Overall performance is fully acceptable (which is better than any other netbook I've tried), and the gaming performance is amazing for what you pay.
