HP Mini 311 Features
Weighing in at just 3.22 pounds, the HP Mini 311-1037NR features a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor and 2 GB of memory. A 160GB hard drive provides ample storage space, and Windows 7 Home Premium provides the latest and greatest PC experience, with improved navigation, faster and easier application use, and more.
The 11.6-inch HD LED BrightView widescreen display provides brilliant HD video with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, making videos or browsing the web look extra-sharp. NVIDIA ION graphics help get the most out of the small, low-powered laptop, and both HDMI and VGA video outputs are provided, for connecting to external monitors or HDTVs. Integrated VGA webcam and microphone let you video chat with friends and family, and music fans will appreciate the Altec Lansing speakers.

The 311’s 5-in-1 integrated digital media reader lets you access SD and MMC cards, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro storage, and xD Picture cards. Three USB ports are included, and of course the Ethernet port for wired networking.

Despite this netbook’s ultra-portable form factor, the keyboard is actually 92% full-size, so it’s not a challenge to type. A touch pad with dedicated vertical scrolling is also included for quick navigation.

This series is also backed by a one-year HP warranty on hardware. Get tech support via toll-free calls, email, online chat and other HP resources.
