Small Laptops

Whether you are a small businessman or a college student, small laptops are practical and convenient for all your needs. Hauling a large computer to classes or traveling with one on business trips just doesn't work.

In today's competitive computer market there are several manufacturers that produce powerful as well as extremely portable small laptops. These computers have all the speed and features anyone would need to perform almost any task. They are a perfect size for travel on almost any form of transportation.

As a student you would be able study in any location and have quick and easy access to all your school files. You could go home for a weekend or holiday whenever you want and not miss out on valuable study time.

When traveling on an airplane or commuter train these small laptops are able to be opened with ease. On your commute to work or special business meeting you would be able to complete tasks and be ready for whatever hits you as you enter the workplace.

There are a few key questions to ask yourself before shopping for one of these small laptops. What will you primarily use it for? How much memory or speed will you need? Is it important for you to have a large screen and beefy speakers? I have listed a few small laptops below as an example of what is out there and how much they cost.

ASUS Eee PC 904HA
These small laptops are a value especially for students or small business on a budget. They list for as little as $350. The pluses for this model are that it has a 160GB hard drive and three USB ports. On the negative side it is slightly weightier and does not have a DVD drive.

HP Mini (AKA 2113)
This machine has been custom designed with the traveler in mind. These small laptops are listed at approximately $750. These computers have a HP3D server hard drive, and a chasis made of titanium. It also has an aluminum shell as well as a keyboard that is moisture resistant. The MacAir is the only laptop on the market that is able to beat this model's thinness.

Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-S1001X
This computer is quite possibly the most durable on our list of small laptops. Priced at or below $800 it may also be the toughest. It also has charging capability for USB tools such as an iPod when the power is off but it is still plugged into an electrical outlet.

Apple MacBook MB061LL/B
This Apple MacBook has made our list of small laptops even though it is the largest, heaviest and not quite as suitable for taking on business trips. This computer is for the laptop crowd that has a need for a bigger screen. With its nearly $970 price tag, it is not quite as affordable as the others. One important feature for our laptop travelers is that it can find and connect to Wi-Fi in almost any location.

Now you have an idea of what type small laptops are currently on the market. Before you make a final decision, do some price comparisons online or look in the local paper. Talk to someone you know who may already own a small, portable computer to see how satisfied they are with the performance and travel-ability.
