We are all familiar with netbooks in general but worry not if you’ve missed the trend. Netbooks or mini notebook computers are basically laptops fitted with 10” screen and parts that were designed with battery life in mind, most often incorporating a quite surprising solution by Intel. Their Atom chips are exactly what this job needs. Low consumption, and just enough power squeezed out to make browsing the net or…

Why you need a proper Laptop sleeve? To carry around your laptop or netbook you don’t absolutely have to have a laptop sleeve or a computer bag but it’s highly recommended. You could just as well put your computer into a plastic bag and travel like that, but risk of something happening to your precious laptop is too high to take when you can choose from so many nice computer…

What is a mini notebook computer? Mini notebook computers are easily identified by their screen size. Usually anything under 13” is called a subnotebook, and under 10” used to be a netbook but lines are getting blurred, since manufacturers moved to bigger screen sizes on the minies.

Student laptops are easily described by either the word cheap, or value. Students usually work on a reduced amount of cash and they would find it kind of hard to buy a business class notebook, therefore I’m trying to put some thought in the matter and see if I can advise a few laptops for college students to buy. What students usually need is the ability to wordprocessing and make…

When deciding which laptop to buy the first thing to settle with is what it is going to be used for. You have to have a priority list about what the device has to know, and most probably you already have this list without realizing. Main points of interest would be battery life, screen size, processor speed or type of video card installed, memory size and capacity of the hard…

Another thing about mini notebooks is that they compromise in sheer power just as well as cutting down on size. In other words you don’t get the usual laptop parts but some carefully tailored ones that fit the job of running a device this small. There seems to be a…
