We've already seen the NVIDIA ION-based HP Mini 311 perform impressively during demos, but now that the netbook is hitting reviewers it's time for some real benchmarks -- and according to the crew at Laptop, they're more than solid. The 311 scored a 1,917 on the PCMark 05 test, almost 500 points above the average netbook, and put up a scorching 1,386 in the 3DMark06 test -- 1,200 points over the netbook average, and basically the same score as a MacBook Air. That's not too surprising, seeing as ION is just a netbook-oriented variant of the GeForce 9400M, but it's still rather impressive -- and combined with 1080p video playback, the potential for some light gaming, and (eventually) ION-accelerated Flash, we'd say the Mini 311 is looking like a real contender.

When will ION make it into more mainstream netbooks? A Netbook capable of playing 1080p will be a lot compelling than current crop of Netbooks.
 
Still I wonder, why'd anyone watch a 1080p movie on a small screen. My netbook plays 720 fine and even thats not needed TBH. I just use that to download stuff and as soon as its done, it goes to my main RIG.
