    This is a very good laptop also it looks very attractive and all the functions are easily performed.The screen is wide and the Mini 311 comes with a 6-cell battery standard I was surprised to find that despite the large high resolution screen, and Nvidia ION, the Mini 311 has some pretty good battery life.
