subject: Hp Mini 311-1025nr 11.6-inch Netbook [print this page] HP's Mini 311 is their first netbook to use a larger 11.6-inch display and the new NVIDIA ION platform. This has given the Mini 311 some significant performance improvements over the current netbook technology especially for 3D graphics and HD video streaming. It is now able to handle these without issue unlike other Atom based netbooks with the GMA 950 graphics. HP also manages to include more memory and hard drive space along with the Windows 7 full OS. All of this adds a big price jump over non-ION netbooks and battery life is slightly below average.

Guide Review - HP Mini 311-1025NR 11.6-inch Netbook
Dec 3 2009 - Performance on the HP Mini 311-1025NR is slightly improved not because of the processor which is still the Intel Atom N270 but from the memory system. Unlike typical netbooks that ship with a single gigabyte of DDR2 memory, the Mini 311 uses faster DDR3 memory. In addition, it ships with a two gigabytes over the standard one. This is due to HP using the standard Windows 7 Home Premium operating system license over the netbook restricted versions.
One of the other benefits of using the standard Windows 7 operating system is the removal of the hard drive size restrictions as well. The average netbook comes with a 160GB hard drive while the Mini 311-1025NR uses a larger 250GB model. This is still much smaller than can be found in budget netbooks and ultraportables, but it is a welcome addition.Hp 510 Battery,Hp 530 Battery,Hp hstnn-ib44 Battery
