Must Have Checklist: Choosing a Mini Laptop

A new generation of low cost, lightweight laptops is rapidly becoming a global sensation. For many people around the world, owning a personal computer has long been considered a luxury. In the last couple years, manufacturers of mini laptops (also referred to as mini notebooks or mini notes) have managed to strip down a lot of the bells and whistles that come automatically with standard laptops, to make a lite version that fits in more peoples’ hands…and pocketbooks. Unlike previous computer products that aimed at reducing size and cost, these mini machines have powerful processors, substantial memory and come with all the basic software, entertainment options and Internet most people need.

To entertain the possibility that each family member could have their own computer without a significant financial investment opens up a whole new world of opportunity for most of us. Children, stay at home parents, senior citizens and disabled family members can easily get plugged in to the larger world around them, and going wireless gets us all out into the world more. Similarly, many small businesses struggle to get by with old, unreliable computers that are stretched thin between employees. To be able to equip each employee with a powerful, affordable computer expands the business’ potential for growth tremendously. With a price range of $100-$500, mini laptops or notebooks make this a reality for them.
