    Hey hope someone can help me here. I have been looking for an 11.6 inch screen netbook recently and have decided on a HP DM1 1101 SA the only problem is while reading a review this came up " Unfortunately the HP DM1 1101 SA does not support 802.11n wireless connectivity" Could someone please explain this in lay mans term for me please and should I get this netbook or is that too much of a drawback???

    Thanks

    Basically its the WiFi version. It's not the latest one thats been approved by the IEEE, but that doesn't mean it won't work, it will, just not as efficiently. It was only brought in last year so won't make a huge difference i'd say

    Hey thanks for the reply will it work where the WiFi is being transmitted using the 802.11n though?
    If so would it be a lot slower?

    As far as I know it shouldn't have any problems. I've never heard of any when looking for backwards compatibility within the 802.11 range

    It depends on the router setup whether it will work or not.

    Most routers will be set to use b/g/n and you can use no problem.

    Max connection speed would be 54Mb's per second for wireless g, 108 for g+, or 300 for n.

    This speed will only be a real problem transferring data over a local network.

    When connecting to the Internet you will not notice a difference as your broadband speed is most likely alot less than that.
