Product 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 pounds. 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.
And because this notebook is loaded with Windows 7, everyday computing is faster, simpler, and more reliable. Managing files is so much easier and speedier with enhancements like Jump Lists and improved taskbar previews. Plus, great new features like HomeGroup and Windows Media Center take you into the future of computing. 11.6 Diagonal HD LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1366 x 768) Webcam with integrated microphone NVIDIA ION LE Graphics with up to 895MB total graphics memory Altec Lansing Stereo Speakers 802.11b/g WLAN 10/100 Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader SD, MMC, MS, MS Pro, xD Ports - 3 x USB 2.0, Headphone-out/Microphone-in, VGA, HDMI, RJ-45 (LAN) Approximate Unit Dimensions - 11.4 (W) x 8.03 (D) x 0.78-1.20 (H) inches Approximate Unit Weight - 3.22 pounds

 The upgrades are worth it January 31, 2010

We bought this to replace an early-model netbook and are amazed at the improvements newer models have applied. We carefully compared several models, including other stock models from HP sold by Amazon, and determined this one was the best bang for the buck.
My wife and I are authors and primarily use this for word processing, but also use it for in-bed media (Hulu/Netflix) and gaming (old school games with minimal requirements). The keyboard size was an initial concern for us, because we never fully adapted to the really small keys of our previous netbook, but upon receiving the unit, we had no problems adapting to the keys in any way.
The screen is very bright by default and we have not had the glare or underlit problems we have had on other screens. We have successfully used the HDMI connector on several different TVs without any issues. The speakers can get decent volume, but the quality isn't too great. Most of our media runs just fine. Flash Player 10.1 is supposed to increase the speed of video playback of certain types, but we didn't experience a significant gain, but it could be user error/browser choice/etc. Netflix runs just fine and Hulu runs perfectly in its normal size, but full screen it chugs.
I'm not thrilled with the power adapter plugging into the left side of the machine (prefer it in the back), but with the long battery life with minimal performance degradation, I just leave it out, even if a plug is nearby. My wife, however, is just fine with its placement, mostly the aesthetics of having the sleek back.
Speaking of the aesthetics, the shell casing is very attractive and does not collect as many smudges/fingerprints as we would have thought. The unit is very light with enough stability that we don't worry about crushing the screen against the keys if we squeeze too hard. We're able to tote it around the house and on quick trips without feeling any burden physically or time-wise.
Some of these pros are relevant to netbooks as a whole, but this particular build with a REAL version of Windows 7, extra RAM, and upgraded hard drive make it a winner. The processor is the lesser of the two major Atoms, but I doubt anybody would be able to realistically discern a difference even in a side-by-side test. We love it!
really great machine April 3, 2010

My son has a gaming computer with 16 GB of RAM,TB HDD, quad core 2.66 processor, 1 GB video card, etc. He doesn't want to drag it around for connectivity so asked me to get him a netbook due to being cheaper than a laptop. He has been completely satisfied with this machine and based on his gaming computer's capabilities that seems like high praise indeed.

I love my HP mini, works great easy to use and carry around. I got it in three days a lot faster than I thought.
The key board is easy to use, its fast, plenty of memory, and space for what I need. Its not a 17'' but that's not what I
wanted, I have desktop wiht 8gb and 1tb of space so this mini is just to carry around and when I travel its great.

Great netbook. I opted for more memory and a larger hard drive. A little higher in price but it's worth it. Scroll takes some getting used to. It could be me since the pad is new to me. Battery life is 40% after about 4 hours. I'd recommend Windows 7. It's easy to use and has no trouble finding and connecting to wireless access points. Watch when buying a case for it. Since it's slighter larger than most, take the netbook with you. I bought a Swissgear case from Target which fits it well and has a carrying handle.
Great buy! April 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.
