Ive seen the wifi car q asked on various other forums, what advantage would that offer over the std installed card?

Draft 'N'

I do

I take my netbook everywhere so showing off my BluRay rips on the go will be pwns and also when people see the size of the netbook and the picture quality it is outputting on a HDTV it will floor them

Plus, my dad got a notebook from Asus for £450 with lesser specs than the HP in this thread so there's some family competition LOL

Anyone confirm 311 = 311c ? - as in this one: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptop/hp-mini-311.aspx?page=1

After waiting around they will be

the clip took 30 seconds to cue up

Still, it's impressive performance for something so small.

How do you mean by waiting around? I'll be putting a wireless N card in it, Intel's one, the same one I put in the NC10 so will save a bit more battery too due to being more power efficient!

According to the review you posted above it took 30 seconds to stream the HDMI output.

Oh, I read that and I know it's because of the fact that they used QuickTime player which is known to be slow to begin with.

MPC-HC will do a much better job especially via internal filters and using DXVA it should load almost instantly, as instant as any other machine.

On the NC10 MPCHC loaded HD files within a few seconds, just it was almost a slideshow once loaded...

From OcUK? If not, exact same model?

Didn't buy from overclockers but its the same laptop model: Mini 311c-1010SA Installing windows 7 see how that runs

The fact it has HDMI and the ability to play HD video is the main reason I'm interested in it.

 

[raptormonkey]

What is then exact spec of memory you bought to upgrade it please?

 

[dbmzk1]

Just phoned HP and they told me a Windows 7 version (with N280) IS coming out in the UK, but they don't know (or wont tell) when. Don't know what to do now! Argh!

Yup. That's why I'm waiting, as this new version is full ION (not LE) also (compatible with DX10).

 

[dbmzk1]

Sod it, bought one! The Win 7 version is LE too iirc.

 

[The Running Man]

yea the dx10 thing is a little offputting

and i just found some turion 2ghz 3gb mem laptops with radeon HD3200 for like £299 inc VAT...

so i cant decide, cash in on a bargain vista 15" laptop now or get a worse spec and get a smaller thinner model:/

 

[scaramonga]

Of course, then there is the new Samsung X120, dual core, comes with Win7 Home Premium lol

 

[mrk]

Just looked up the X120........ I will not hold off the HP 311c

ASUS Eee PC 1201N looks the daddy to me. N330 Dual Core, Ion, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Wireless N and Windows 7, what a beast. Only problem is that I can order the HP one for £274 delivered today, bargain. No time frame or pricing for the ASUS but it doesn't take Batman to figure out it will likely be more expensive.

must . . . resist . . .

 

[sibeer]

whoops, gone and ordered it

Now who wants to buy a Dell Mini 9 and a 12" Phillips Core2Duo

 

[DoubleCheese]

sibeer, just sent you an email.
