When is  a netbook not a netbook? When it has anything better than the 1 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive and Intel GMA chipset seen almost uniformly across all manufacturers. And it looks like HP will be the first to break the mold with its HP Mini 311 netbook. Based on the Mini 311’s service guide, buyers will be able to upgrade their netbooks from junky to halfway decent, with up to two extra GB of RAM, a 320 GB hard drive, an 80 GB solid state drive, the full NVidia ION platform for graphics acceleration and either Windows 7 Starter, Basic, Premium of Professional.

Now, the service guide is just a manual for installing your own upgrades to an existing computer. So this news doesn’t necessarily mean HP will start selling these improvements directly. And even if they were available off the bat, there’s no word on price, and I imagine adding lots of RAM, a graphics card and full Windows 7 to a netbook could get pricey. Still, the suggestion here is that netbooks won’t be bound to the dismal specs I listed at the top of this piece. It was reported earlier this year that Microsoft is limiting the hardware in netbooks in order to draw a line in the sand between them and netbooks. This should help kick up the sand a little. http://www.laptop-battery.org.uk/laptopbattery/compaq/vp502aa-batteries-1002014.htm

Laptop Magazine has started putting the HP Mini 311 through its paces – and the early results impress.  As the first netbook based on Nvidia’s ION LE graphics chip paired with an Intel Atom N270/280 processor, the diminutive Mini garnered a PCMark05 score of 1,917- nearly 500pts above the average netbook.  What’s more, the older “Diamondville” N-series processor in a recent report outperformed the newer “Poulsbo” Z-series clock for clock.

Stay unplugged longer with the new COMPAQ VP502AA 5000mAh Li-ion Battery. This 10.8V Rechargeable Li-ion battery can replace the original system battery or be used as a spare. COMPAQ computer batteries life (and recharge times) will vary based on many factors including screen brightness, applications, features, power management, battery conditioning and other customer preferences.

The HP Mini 311’s 3DMark06 scores were even more impressive at 1,386 which is a full 1,200 points over the average. That’s not a typo.  http://www.cheap-laptop-batteries.com/asus-laptop-battery.htm 

Battery life is still being run through its paces, however I went ahead and purchased the 311 based on early feedback (Note to FTC- I bought it with my own money thanks <g>). I really wish the configurator gave me the option of 2GB of RAM however there is puzzlingly an option for a 2nd battery at half-price.  Hopefully this isn’t a statement about the overall power consumption of a device with graphics that reportedly performs about as well as the MacBook Air at a fraction the cost.  Of course the processor is rather diminutive in stature but despite this, the unit will reportedly do Blu-ray with an external drive. I will be testing it with the optional 802.11n against an HD Homerun network HDTV tuner and Windows Media Center wirelessly among other scenarios.
