HP Mini 311 Gets Windows 7, New Hardware

The HP Mini 311 is one of the first netbooks to ditch XP and grab onto Windows 7. HP announced that their critically lauded netbook will get the new OS as soon as it’s commercially available, they’ve also announced several other spec upgrade options.

The Mini 311 will get the ION treatment, a max memory load of 3GB and a decent size 80GB SSD or 320GB standard hard drive upgrade option.

Users can also choose to upgrade (at a cost) to Windows 7 Professional.

The new options have been made available via the HP Mini 311 maintenance guide, which means it could be a while before all the new options show up or it could be available on October 22nd. We’ll post more once info becomes available.
