•The touchpad is the same glossy feel as the rest of laptop, so your finger is constantly sliding off the edge and you never really know when you're on it.
•The mouse clicks also feel cheap and are hard to press down.
•The keyboard is still pretty good and since it's 92% full, it's easy to type on like you would a normal keyboard.
•As for the screen, it's LED and has a higher resolution than most netbooks, so it looks great and has lots of room to work.
•The interface is okay, but HP really needs to do something about their touchpads.
•The thing that really sets this HP apart from most netbooks is the Nvidia Ion chipset, which allows for smooth video playback and even playing PC games.
•This is the only netbook we've tested that can fully complete the PCMark05 Benchmarks, which is a feat in itself, and it had a respectable score of about 2,100 points.
•Games like Counter-Strike: Source and Call of Duty 4 are fully playable at 800 x 600; it's pretty amazing to have that on a little guy like this.•Booting up takes a little longer than we'd like at about a minute and forty seconds.
•We have the lowest specs you can get on this netbook (1 GB of RAM and a 160 GB hard drive) and it's still super fast.
•Just imagine how fast this thing would be if you paid a little extra and got 3 GB of RAM and a Solid State Drive.
•Either way, for the price, we're definitely impressed with the HP 311 Netbook’s performance, even though the touchpad is wonky.
