HP Mini 311 Unboxing Video

Abe of Yugatech purchased an HP Mini 311 since most of his readers are still undecided whether to purchase a closer rival MSI Wind U210. He will be running a benchmark comparison in just a few and we will witness which one stands out in terms of performance. The two netbooks sport totally different specs, one with Intel Atom and the other with AMD Athlon. The MSI Wind has 2GB RAM while the HP Mini only has 1GB, but let’s wait and see how it impacts the results. Worth noting as well are the graphics chipsets. MSI Wind has ATI Radeon, while the HP Mini has an NVIDIA Ion. The two netbooks also run on different operating systems, one with Vista and the other with XP, but let’s wait and see. Meanwhile, see the unboxing video [for your eyes only version].

HP Mini 311 now official, cheapest ION powered Netbook so far

First it gave a hint. Then it was leaked. And now HP officially announced the netbook is on as early as September 23rd. The netbook will initially ship with Windows XP and will eventually carry Windows 7 as well in October.

The HP Mini 311 is ION-powered, has an 11.6″ screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 and it has HDMI output. Of course it comes with pretty standard components such as 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM and a 6-cell battery that should give longer life per charge.

This netbook is priced at $399, making it the most affordable ION-powered netbook with 11.6″ display today.

Netbooks continue to increase it’s market share as netbook manufacturers continuously innovates their current products. The latest news from HP is the new Mini 311 which was first hinted from a support document before it slowly revealed itself on the internet.

The new HP Mini 311 will carry an Intel Atom N270 and because it has wider chassis, it would also include 6-cell battery. Hard disk and memory will also be at standard 160GB and 1GB respectively. On the brighter side, based on some already posted specs, it will sport NVIDIA ION graphics too. This means that the graphics acceleration and video transcoding will be several times faster than some full-sized laptops and netbooks. It is also possible that this netbook will have Windows 7 version.
