Hello Everyone,

HP's Mini range of netbooks have been well respected in the industry, and
while they were never as instrumental as Asus in the explosion of the
netbook as a whole, they've really managed to nail their niche. From the
start, the HP Mini was one of the most fashionable netbook lines out there,
boasting subtle curves, a uniform keyboard, gorgeous styling cues and a
larger-than-average trackpad. By and large, the Mini lineup hasn't changed
too much since its introduction, but that has mainly been the case because
Windows XP was pretty much the only operating system available for it
(Linux alternatives notwithstanding). Couple that with the limited Atom CPU
lineup and the struggle to keep costs down, and we're left with a colorful
line of machines that don't actually differ much from one another, save for
designs and accents.

Now, there are two major reasons to pay close attention to the Mini 311. It
may follow the prior Minis in terms of size and style, but it's the
differences within that promise to make this a new, refreshed machine. For
starters, HP has loaded Windows 7 onto this machine. We waited for what
felt like forever to finally have Windows 7 available for netbooks, and we
can confess that it really adds a touch of style and functionality compared
to older models with XP. The second major addition is NVIDIA's Ion
technology...
