FYI for those who are buying the HP Mini 311: The free upgrade to win7 is limited to units that have Vista Home Premium and above. Windows XP is ineligible. Some retailers are offering half off win7 upgrade with purchase of any new PC.

I'm wondering about aftermarket hard drive upgrades for the Mini 311. I've been searching around, however unsuccessfully, for some details about the stock HP 160GB SATA 5400rpm drive. Is it a 1.5Gb/s or a 3? I would like to bump it up to a 250GB SATA 7200rpm after purchase. Any concerns or insight you might be able to offer would be a great help.

What is the battery code for the 12-cell battery? I want to buy an extra battery and I would like to have this big battery, but I can't find where to buy it separated.
