HP takes the initiative with the first Nvidia’s Ion-based netbook on the market–HP Mini 311. With the HP Mini 311, we can not distinguish clearly between the netbook and notebook.

The keys on the keyboard have the same slightly scalloped shape and wide faces, it is in a good seze that we will fell comfortable when typing on the keys. While the 3.3 x 1.5 inches touchpad is a little rough, which makes us a little uncomfortable. Two mouse buttons under the touch pad also feels in low quality and a little stiff.

Designers Vivienne Tam said she was inspired by the classic story of Butterfly Lovers, and just lanuched HP MiniNote with HP in spring fashion show 2010.

She believes that butterfly on behalf of love, freedom, independence and change, for the ladies, this HP MiniNote’s appearance is considered fashionable. No one has to publicize details of the hardware specifications, it is estimated appearance with the previous HP MiniNote not much difference.

In recent years,designers added more elements into computers appearance.Such as Acer has co-operation with Ferrari, marking Ferrari logo in their notebook. This makes consumers feel everything new and fresh. But we still hope that the computer’s quality is guaranteed.
