 HP mini 311 February 24, 2010

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.

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.
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!
 A 12-cell battery and a 3 GB RAM would be better January 25, 2010

Everybody loves Windows 7 nowadays with its superb features.I was so excited to experience it the first time in this netbook, but it made the battery life lesser to only a maximum of 4 hrs for a 6-cell battery, maybe a 12-cell battery would be better. Also, the Nvidia Ion's shared memory makes the netbook hang especially when doing multi-tasking. I think I have to upgrade to 3gb ram. With all these flaws, Windows XP could have been better especially because it gives you more battery life. In addition to that, playing 720p HD movies is a painful task,just forget it.
Great netbook, but make sure it fits your needs December 28, 2009

As I was changing roles, I was turning over my company laptop. I thought about buying a full size notebook, but decided to give this netbook a try.
I custom ordered mine thru HP. It seems most of the HP 311's sold in the stores had the Atom N270. Well the Atom N280 is only a $25 upgrade option. Not much difference probably in performance, but a little helps.
I also ordered the netbook with xp and only 1gb of ram, and decided to add the 2gb ram upgrade myself.
My order in all, came in under $500.
For browsing, and most applications I say this netbook works just fine. For portable machines I usually prefer the "eraser point" mouse control over the touchpad. And this netbook only confirms that feeling. If you tend to rest your palms as you type, you'll find yourself accidentally tapping the touchpad and moving your cursor around. Palms up, wrists straight, they keyboard works pretty well. The mouse buttons are a bit stiff and have a loud click sound when in use. Eventually I forget about it, but it may be a minor annoyance for some.
The construction feels pretty solid. The 11.3 size is probably the sweetspot. It is small enough that it is very portable and lightweight, yet easier to manage and use than the 10" netbooks.
As a gamer, I'm a bit disappointed in the 3-D performance. That is more a reflection of the ATOM processor. It does however handle most of the streaming video and ripped DVD performance that other netbooks can not handle. That is a nice point for me. This machine seems to be the perfect travel rig.
Battery life is pretty good, as I can get about 6 hours of run time. The LCD screen is a little glossy, but colors are nice and is an improvement from the notebooks I've used in the past.
Ultimately, there are more capable gaming machines but they are not nearly as portable. I give the product overall a 4 star rating. It will not replace a more powerful notebook, but it fills most duties. I'm sure somewhere down the line there will be a netbook with more video capabilities but it is hard to find a machine with the perfect size, power and battery life.
I've considered trading to a more powerful machine, but the size is what makes me want to keep this netbook. It's just powerful enough to satisfy most of my needs.
