HP Launches Ion-based Mini 311

[Tedders]

If it has Windows 7 I will be ordering one to replace the Asus 900HA I just sold. I love the specs, especially the fact that it doesn't have Intel graphics. Come on HP, don't let me down.

I just wish it had an Atom 330. I'm still keeping an eye on the ASRock Multibook G22 for that reason since it has one. I just wish it wasn't an ASRock. I've always disregarded Netbooks until the started putting the Ion chipset in them. Now I actually feel comfortable getting rid of my power hungry 4 year AMD turion that I only use for checking e-mail and traveling with.

It's already been done. I bought an Acer AO751h last month from Staples. $399 Canadian and all of the same specs. The 11.6-inch display makes a big difference in usefulness. Anything smaller looks and feels too much like a toy that little girls use to play corporate executive Barbie.

Acer's 11.6" (the AO751h) has the 1.3GHz atom and no Ion for the same price. It has so fucking not been done before.

The price seems just right for this machine, I think HP has a winner on it's hands.

I am looking to one of these once they are available...
I will up the RAM to 3GB and call it a day....

If my wife wouldn't spend my paycheck before I see it, then one of these would be on order already. Though I might wait to see what the battery life will be before hand. I'm pretty sure it'll be a 6 cell doing 4-6 hours of real time battery life.

This thing is only $40 more than my Asus 1005HA-P. It's really tempting and I might just sell it and buy this one. But the drawback is the 92% keyboard~~~ Gotta love ION!
