Smaller, Cooler, Faster, Better!
Posted on | November 5, 2008 |
So, you think you know what a computer looks like? Look again. Computers keep getting smaller and smaller, but does that mean that power and performance are being substituted for convenience and trend? Well, it all depends on what you use it for. The new mini PC’s or mini Laptops, which ever you prefer to call them, are aimed mostly at the education market, but also have wide-range appeal to your average Joe-the-businessman too! Now you can be connected wherever you go. With the laptop open and screens sitting low, students won’t be able to hide behind them or avoid the teacher. Some keyboards are spill-proof for up to an ounce of liquid too! They also fit snugly inside most briefcases.
The price alone of these super-condensed computers are a huge lure; typical price is somewhere between $300-$600 depending on the brand. Most weigh less than 2 kilograms, but the big drawback is that they are less powerful than full-fledged laptops so that the batteries last longer. They’re mainly designed for Internet surfing and work on spreadsheets or word processor documents, not for heavy duty gaming, video editing or other multimedia work. Depending on the brand, you could be running Windows, Mac OS X or Linux. Features and specs can include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity and high resolution LCD screens.
