While we’re on the subject of pocket-sized but professional-grade technology, let’s spend a little time with the HP Mini 311 Notebook, the best answer yet to the form versus function dilemma so often presented by the netbook.
Besides it’s seriously sleek exterior, (really, it conjures up images of a James Bond gadget room), the 311 has equally serious tech cred that outstrips its peers: impressive battery life, speakers that are louder and clearer than your average tinny laptop fare, and an amazing capacity to create and display killer graphics unlike any other netbook — the resolution on the display is 1366 x 768. Somehow all of this is packed into an 11.4 x 8.0 x 1.2 in package, more or less the same size as a sheet of notebook paper.
Of course, an uber-portable computer isn’t nearly as fun without a great carrying case, and for that there’s nothing more covetable than this Vintage Style Postal Sleeve.
What better way to bring a classic touch to a hot-off-the-presses gadget? It looks like hours spent in the airport just got a whole lot better.
