Reviews for the HP Mini 311-1000

Hp's Mini 311-1000 is a netbook on steroids for under $820
Source: PC Authority Archive.org version
It's no secret that we're fans of the HP's mini design. From the Vivienne Tam edition, through to the plainer mini 5101, HP has been setting design standards, whilst missing the boat when it comes to battery life. It's not the most outstanding netbook we've seen for battery life or performance, but for usability this is an absolute standout, and worth the investment if you're after a pocket-sized entry level system.

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M (G) / ION (LE): Integrated (shared Memory) graphics adapter.

Integrated PureVideo HD (VP3) video processor to decode HD videos with the GPU.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

N270:

Power efficient, cheap and slow Netbook single core CPU. Because of the in-order execution, the performance per MHz is worse than Core Solo or Celeron M processors.

11.60":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.
