The Top 6 Reasons You Should Invest In A Mini Laptop

Today, mini laptops, also known as mini notebooks or netbooks come with almost all the features of  standard laptops. There are virtually no drawbacks to using them and in fact they are a better choice in many instances. Let's explore the top 6 reasons to invest in a mini laptop.

Reason 1: The most obvious feature of the mini laptop is it's compact size and light weight. It can be easily carried and stored anywhere you happen to go. They weigh only about 2 pounds and slip easily into many purses or a briefcase. If you prefer to carry yours seperately you can purchase a case designed specifically for your little computer!

Reason 2: The second nice feature of these mini notebooks is their relatively low cost. It can fulfill the needs of all the family members without putting too much of a dent in your wallet. You can buy a "mini" for  anywhere from about $200-$500 as opposed to approximately $700-$1500 for a standard laptop.

Reason 3: Another reason for investing in a mini laptop is the array of features they sport. most come with 3 USB ports and have many entertainment and internet options. Unlike hand held devices, that can cost just as much or more, they have a more powerful   processor, more substantial memory and more software options. Your kids can get plugged in to explore and learn about a whole range of things around the world! These small powerhouses have features for wireless devices as well as a Bluetooth device and come in a sturdy, protective casing. There are also memory cards and flash cards available for the minis. And last, but not least, there is much flexibility in the upgrading process.

Reason 4: Mini laptops also have an impressive array of technical features. They are available with Windows XP, Ubuntu, Mac and Linux operating systems. The memory space is about 512MB to 1GB (with the option to boost it to 1.5GB - at least on the Acer Aspire). Storage space is about 60-80GB. With the Acer Aspire you get a 160GB Hard Drive. It is difficult to discuss all of the technical features because they can vary from brand to brand and I am the most familiar with the Acer Aspire One.

Reason 5: The netbooks are also great for business on the go. They have basic software programs that enable the user to create spreadsheets, documents and PowerPoint presentations as well as allowing for checking emails and instant messaging. When you get a little down time you can also listen to music, browse the net, chat or take pictures. All in all quite a handy machine! It is a much easier to travel with alternative to the full size laptop.

Reason 6: Another point in favor of the mini laptop is that it leaves a smaller environmental footprint. It uses comparatively lower battery power and it's battery also has a long life. The smaller computers are "greener" and make less of an impact on the surrounding environment!

These 6 reasons present a powerful argument for investing in a mini laptop. Right now I only have a desktop pc and my husband owns a laptop.  We also have a 13 year old son. Our family's next computer will be a mini laptop for sure! The only dilemma will be who gets to use it when!
