HP Mini 311 with ION benchmark - Holy cow this netbook is fast!
Brandon Davenport
I personally have avoided netbooks, just because their great reputation is also their weakness. For enthusiasts like me, a Netbook just won't cut it. The portability would be perfect, but the power is just not there.
Even something like a Macbook Air would do much better in coping with the strain of Phototshop, Dreamweaver, Firefox, Skype, Boxee and Squarespace running at the same time, and that is why a small netbook just wont cut it for guys like me, you understand -- but HP has come along and sorta broken the mold of netbooks. I'ts fast, very fast, and that is very cool for a 11.6" screen Netbook.
The 311 scored a 1,917 on the PCMark 05 test, almost 500 points above the average netbook, and put up a scorching 1,386 in the 3DMark06 test -- 1,200 points over the netbook average, and basically the same score as a MacBook Air.
The HP is powered by a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom Processor, a NVIDIA ION LE -- just a netbook-oriented variant of the GeForce 9400M -- and it can pump out full 1080p video via an HDMI port.
