HP's Mini 311 is an 11.6in netbook that weighs 1.4kg. It's one of the first netbooks to come with Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled. It's also one of the first to use NVIDIA's ION platform, with an NVIDIA system chipset and integrated GeForce 9400M graphics processor.
NVIDIA claims that ION-based netbooks can provide over 10 times the graphics performance of regular netbooks. Usually, we'd dismiss such a claim two seconds after reading it. And we were right to do so this time, because NVIDIA's claim was inaccurate. 3DMark06 benchmarks showed the HP Mini 311 is approximately 15 times faster in the graphics department than a typical netbook, such as Samsung's NC10.
The extra graphics grunt means that Windows 7's slick graphical user interface runs very smoothly and high-definition video content can be viewed without tearing and stuttering. The HP Mini 311 has an HDMI port that allows you to display Full HD videos on a big screen, and the 250GB hard drive lets you store content on the netbook rather than having to use an external drive. It's worth mentioning that the hard drive is a Samsung HM250HI, with a 5400rpm spin speed. It was very fast in our file transfer tests, recording an average speed of 27.89 megabytes per second. In essence, you could use the Mini 311 as a makeshift digital video and music player for your living room, and, if you plug in a USB-based digital TV tuner, as media centre.
However, the Mini 311 is still a netbook at heart, albeit with stronger arteries. It runs a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU, which is not unusual, but it also has 2GB of DDR3 SDRAM, which is slightly faster and less power-hungry than the DDR2 memory present in most netbooks. Nevertheless, the netbook will be slow at media encoding and multitasking. This was shown clearly in our iTunes (MP3 encoding) and Blender (3D rendering) tests. It took 7min 36sec to encode 53min worth of WAV files to 192Kbps MP3s, and 6min 58sec to render a 3D image. Compared to other netbooks, these are quick times and they make this one of the fastest netbooks on the Australian market; they are still slow results for users looking to primarily conduct these sorts of tasks, however.
