Just yesterday Alex was talking about netbooks that are getting more powerful by the day (explaining the new Viliv S12 a bit), well, today we have just learned that the new HP Mini 311 has been officially introduced running on NVIDIA’s Ion Platform.
The new Mini 311 is the world’s first netbook with NVIDIA’s Ion, that actually ships. It comes with a large 11.6-inch HD display, an Nvidia ION LE graphics card that does 1080p HD video playback, a built-in VGA and HDMI ports that allows you to connect to your HDTV or to an external monitor.

Adding to the goodies list, the Ion-based Mini 311 features a near-full-size (92%) keyboard that makes typing easy, a full-size intuitive touchpad with buttons, a VGA webcam and Altec Lansing HD speakers. The netbook runs on Intel Atom processors, has 1GB of RAM (that could be improved to be honest), 160GB of HDD, an integrated 5-in-1 digital media card reader and an optional Blu-ray drive.
Available as you read, the new HP MINI 311 sells from $399.
