I bought this HP 311-1000NR and did the pursuing:
- Mounted an more 2GB RAM
- Wiped out the XP set up and replaced it with an OEM copy of Windows seven Household Premium

I'm a scientific computing geek who makes use of a loaded Macbook Pro for everyday do the job. I wished one thing a bit more compact for your days exactly where I just necessary to accomplish e-mail, documentation writing and world-wide-web searching. I also wanted to look at Windows 7 as well. I am not only a gamer.

Overall I'm incredibly pleased, this really is a fantastic minor notebook and the larger size is a lot more than manufactured up for inside graphics and display efficiency. Even with the 1GB common RAM the technique handled Windows seven pretty perfectly (I was incredibly suprised). Adding more memory is fast and low cost so I'd advise it.

For electronic mail, media actively playing and web surfing around it continues to be fantastic. I've certainly not occur close to operating the battery down through fifty percent or three-quarter day sessions when I'm away from my desk. Operates good with my Verizon large speed web dongle (Verizon USB 760) too.
