Mini Notes: Notebooks and Laptops That Are Ultraslim, Ultraportable, and Powerful
Mini notes are notebooks and laptops that are half the size of traditional machines, but incredibly powerful and ultra-portable. They are exploding in popularity in four markets:
- Rural areas around the globe that are cut off from new sources of information such as updated textbooks and up-to-the-minute news turn to these devices to solve these problems.
- Many poor areas have both the above problem and also the problem of families not being able to afford a full fledged computer.
- Consumers in the U.S., Japan, and elsewhere often have computing needs that are much less than what a large and expensive computer delivers. Groups such as children, stay at home parents, and senior citizens may want something easy, cheap portable, and light. Mini notes are perfect.
- Many families in wealthier countries are finding that they need almost one computer to every family member. However, to save space and money, and for maximum convenience, they buy one or two large models and the rest are mini-laptops or mini-notebooks.
What has happened over the past few years to truly make mini laptops and mini notebooks so popular is that manufacturers no longer have to strip down a lot of the functionality of a larger model to get to a price and size that attracts the consumer. In fact, most of the current mini notes have the functionality of the fully powerful notebooks and laptops of just a few years ago. They have a screen much larger than a mobile phone or PDA, though slightly smaller than a full sized laptop.
The target price for 2010 many manufacturers have for mini notes is below $100. They also hope to bring their weight below a pound (they are currently only about a pound and a half). Whether a consumer wants to access e-mail, watch video, listen to MP3s, browse the internet, take pictures and video, or learn from a virtual textbook, mini notes are already revolutionary even before they take these exciting future steps.
For the more technologically minded, here is a brief synopsis of the features of the technology involved with mini notebooks and mini laptops:
- Built-in Devices: Wireless LAN antenna, Bluetooth antenna
- Dimensions (average): Width 6-7 in, Depth 5- 6 in, Height 1-1.4 in, Weight 1.5-1.75 lbs
- Processor: Intel A110 / 800 MHz
- Operating Systems: Varied, but include Windows products such as Vista
- Software: Many possibilities including standard Office products, photo and video editing, financial, etc.
- Cache Memory: Installed Size usually around 512 KB
- RAM: Installed Size .5-1 GB
- Hard Drive: 20-60 GB
Mini notes, mini-laptops, and mini-notebooks will continue to evolve, but don't wait. Very powerful, ultra-portable, and inexpensive models are already available from major manufacturers.
Choosing A Mini Notebook Computer Without Tears
Mini laptop or net book computers are generating all the buzz about laptops these days!
Why all the interest?
Mini computers are smaller and lighter than your standard notebook computer and have a better battery life... but you could say that about a pencil and a piece of paper. In many ways a mini notebook (or if you prefer, a mini laptop) is a throw back to the bad old days when the terms notebook computer and laptop computer weren't interchangeable.
How Are They Different Now?
In order to power the MIDs, Intel developed the Atom processor. Atom processors are currently only available embedded in an Intel motherboard.
What Are The Advantages Of A Mini Laptop?
Expect the mini laptop to weigh approximately 2.5 pounds, including the battery. A good battery life should be at least 4 hours or more. Compare this to a 15.4-inch laptop, which will generally measure about 10 by 14 inches and weigh about 6 pounds. The weight savings alone may persuade you to think more about choosing a mini laptop.
Mini laptop computers are listed as less expensive than other portable computers. These mini laptop computers installed with Intel Atom processors are generally powerful enough to run Windows XP and Microsoft Office without fail.
What Are The Disadvantages Of A Mini Laptop?
The standard drives that you most likely will find on common on mini laptops are relatively small, only 16GB or less. Windows XP, Windows Media Player 11 and Microsoft Office Professional 2002 are well over 4GB, so this would be the area where you will most likely want to upgrade.
The displays generally have lower resolution than laptop computers. But this should not be a deterrent, unless you will be working with digital graphics. The graphic cards generally are not as good as notebook computers, but if you are just surfing the web or downloading music, you will probably not notice much difference.
The least expensive mini laptop computers run a version of Linux, not windows, as their operating system. I added an external CD/DVD burner and upgraded the hard drive from 8 to 16GB to the mini computer that I recently purchased. The final cost of my mini laptop was $524. Without adding the CD/DVD burner, this system was $439.
Let’s Compare A 15 inch Laptop To A MiniLaptop
The least expensive 15 inch laptop from Dell includes a 120GB hard drive, built-in CD/DVD burner, and runs Windows Vista. Both minis and 15 inch computers have wireless g network cards.
If you add mobile broadband hardware to each of these computers the mini notebook is a bit pricier than a standard the laptop.
Asus has been the driving force behind the development of the netbook market. MSI has also been a market leader. Just about anything less than $330 runs Linux or has a processor slower than the Intel Atom or both.
Are You A Candidate For These New Minis?
A mini laptop is marginally suitable as a primary computer for someone who doesn't use his or her laptop computer at work or school. If you mostly use a notebook to download music and load it onto your mp-3 player, e-mail your friends, and surf the net you might get by. They are not the best choice for games or for doing any number crunching or complicated word-processing.
What Is The Comparative Pricing?
A mini laptop, a netbook, a mini notebook, or mini computers are in the same price range as i-phones. In one review it was reported that to surf the net, it was a clear advantage to have the bigger display and keyboard of the netbook, and the downside was that you couldn't make phone calls.

Mini-Notebooks: Small Is Huge
Notebooks are becoming an essential mobile accessory thanks to their easy portability and connectivity facility. Imagine the joy of surfing net from the comfort of wi-fi enabled pool side hotel area or the cafe without notebooks? With the rapid changing technology, conventional notebooks are no longer fashionable.
With powerful and advanced technology wrapped in a sleekly contoured compact manner, currently mini notebooks or ultra-mobile PCs as they are called have captured the attention of techno geeks. Even the smaller in size, the functionality of all other parts have not been compromised on mini notebooks. Fast hard disk drive, equivalent processor, high-speed DRAM , reasonable-sized keyboard for real typing and even intuitive Touch Panel pointing device that can be used with either its stylus or even a finger; all features are available in mini notebooks.
Mini notebooks can do what any other laptop or desktop can do. Rapid response time and ease of program modification are important advantages of mini notebooks. No doubt notebooks provide better visual experience, but at close to seven pounds, it could also be the cause of a bad back. Mini notebooks lower the heavy load strain common to conventional notebooks. Weighing around 2.6 pounds, these mini notebooks can still easily fit in a backpack or large handbag. Mini notebooks consume less power and as a result the heat generated is also low as compared to desktops or big notebooks. The radiation generated is also considerably lower. This is another advantage of mini notebooks.
However, mini notebooks do have its share of deficiency. The small screen might be a problem for some people. Others may be concerned because some model of mini notebooks store less data and sometimes run out of battery power faster than larger notebooks. The shrunken keyboards on the mini notebooks can also be difficult for the sausage-fingered. Mini-notebooks lack the raw power of their larger counterpart. It`s difficult to find discrete graphics in these categories. But without paying the hefty prices of traditional ultraportables, true portability is available in mini notebooks.
Mini notebooks have occupied only a small niche because of its expensive price and the shortcomings. Notebook manufactures have worked upon these shortcomings and as a result mini notebooks have advanced features to make up for earlier shortcoming. Manufactures are optimists that the consumers of this pocket pc will grow in coming period. With widespread use of broadband and online transactions, more and more people will prefer to use mini notebooks.
The advanced features available in some recently launched mini notebooks include flash memory storage of 4-8 gigabytes, larger Keyboard Pitch (16.8mm), has mobile computing feature, New fingerprint technology that allows users to bypass multiple password entry with one swipe of the finger, built-in wireless functionality, built-in wireless functionality, camera, biometric fingerprint security, long lasting battery up to 5hours and Battery charging state available in the Power-on Mode, not just in the Power-off Mode .
Some upcoming models also have screen size varying 8.9-inch to 10-inch and advanced features such as data encryption, multiple print storage, Bios fingerprint authentication, individual fingerprint application assignment, fingerprint website access and single touch boot features. Considering all the advanced features available, mini notebook can be really considered as cost effective.
Mini notebooks are a great information and communication companion, anytime and anywhere. However, before buying mini notebook, it`s advisable to do thorough research on it. Make a list of the features you are looking for in mini notebook. Go for genuine brands and pay attention to its after sales service and reliability aspect. Even after you decide which model you want to buy, it`s a good idea to get hands-on experience on your choice of model so that you can be rest assured of its performance.
