HP Netbook Makes A Great
Student Laptop Deal
Being a student is
financially stressful. The ever rising costs of
tuition, books, room and board, leave little money for the
luxuries that make student life easier. Being a student means
being on a budget and seeking out the best deals possible to
keep money in your pocket. On top of all the things a
student needs, now you must face the daunting tasks of
finding a student laptop deal that won’t break the
bank. The HP
Mini 311 netbook is the perfect companion for the starving
student, with 3gb of ram, an 80 gig hard drive and Windows 7
installed.
The HP Mini 311 is the little netbook that
could, and its powerful enough that the it really could be
classified as a good ole’ laptop. It’s a tad bit larger than
its netbook counterparts at just under 11 inches wide, and
its solid state disk drive boots it up with Ferrari like
speed (can you say booted and zooted and ready to go in
under 30 seconds???). The keyboard is
surprisingly comfortable to use and feels solidly put
together.
Battery life is a dream as we logged it at
about 6 hours of continuous use. Thanks to the SSD the 311
runs cool and quiet. We opted for the slightly
higher end model with the larger Nvidia graphics card and
HDMI output.
The 311’s LCD screen is bright and clear with the only con
being that it is slightly small and may cause a little eye
strain to people with poor vision. The extra power of the
graphics card provides you with increased performance and
the option to use it on a larger HDTV or LCD
monitor. The
output is crystal clear with virtually no lag on an external
monitor making this little wunderkind a candidate for a
desktop replacement.
Remember we are looking for a student
laptop deal so don’t expect great gaming performance out of
this netbook.
What you will get in this package is a very capable computer
with mid range notebook performance in a netbook
footprint. For
the digital photographer the HP 311 is equipped with a card
reader that is capable of reading most formats on the market
today. Standard
802 networking and plenty of USB ports ensure that you stay
connected, and are able to connect any device you need to
the HP 311. The only complaint with regard to the USB ports
would be their close proximity to each other which may cause
some space issues between multiple devices.
Small things aside this is an excellent
student laptop deal which you can use to be productive for
many semesters to come and is definitel one of the cheapest laptop deals you'll find.
