I bought this model of computer through Verizon Wireless for $199 dollars and a two year data agreement. I replaced a Lenovo S10e that I have had for about a year. The problem with the Lenovo was the weak Intel graphics which were really showing its age. Unfortunately the HP311 and the ION graphics from NVIDIA did not really help. The real issue is the Atom CPU which is a single core chip and even though it has hyper threading which allows for two threads at a time. It does not compete with a two core chip. Windows 7 Premium is good but it does seem to slow it down and I am not sure that it was the right choice for this type of Netbook. Maybe with a newer duel core Atom chip it might have been better. All in all this little netbook does have a perfect size screen and it works much better with the web page designs. You save yourself a lot of scrolling. The keyboard is very nice and you make a lot less mistakes typing with the bigger keys. The Touchpad is another story because although it is pretty big it also has a nagging drag to it. Sometimes its unresponsive and sometimes its irattic. Fan noise is minimal but the fan does seem to run all the time! My advise is not to spend more then $400 on this computer and upgrade to a real noetbook unless you really like this netbook. Its a bit pricy for what you get and it deffinately cannot replace the performance of even a cheaper Celeron duel core in a cheap Notebook.

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.

I purchased the HP Mini 311 from (...). My build included:
* Black Swirl
* Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
* Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor N280 (1.66GHz, 512KB L2, 667 Mhz FSB) with NVIDIA ION graphics
* 3GB DDR3 System Memory (1 Dimm)
* 160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
* 11.6" diagonal HD LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1366 x 768)
* HP Mini Webcam
* Wireless-G Card with Bluetooth
* HP Color Matching Keyboard
* 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
All in all it's a good netbook. It plays a number of current / modern video games at great resolution and speed. The OS is very responsive, the keyboard feels solid. The track pad is a little touchy and the slightest brush will cause mouse movement, but that can be adjusted. The expansion ports are easy to access and the battery life on the 6 cell is good (though not noteworthy). The Mini 311 can stream HD quality video (MP4, AVI, MKV) pretty well and the HDMI out is handy enough to make this my new media center PC.
I have to say, I am slightly disappointed in one major area: FLASH VIDEO SUCKS!!! Yes, I've already downloaded the Flash 10.1 release candidate. It improved the speed of flash videos a little bit but I still get choppiness on sub-HD quality flash videos from youtube. I watch a LOT of flash videos on Youtube and Hulu. The thing that drives me crazy the most is that my previous netbook, the Acer Aspire One (which sells for LESS THAN HALF of what I paid for the mini 300) ran flash video flawlessly. Go figure....
All in all a decent netbook, but since it doesn't perform in one of my major focus areas I'm left feeling like I'm missing out. If you watch a lot of flash stuff, this is NOT the netbook for you. Go with something that has a Broadcomm HD decoder instead of NVIDIA Ion.

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.

This item gets great battery life, and runs reasonably well. Unlike most netbooks, the keys aren't little tiny squares so it's easier to type on. Physically, this thing seems fairly well built. My only complaint is the design of the mousepad, which is really easy to accidentally touch while typing, and it can mess you up if you aren't careful. I still have yet to find a way to make it less sensitive. Other than that, this netbook is pretty good.
