Would mini laptops be right for you?

The first laptop was created in 1981. Known as the Osborne 1, it wasn’t exactly the first range of mini laptops; it weighed over 10 kilograms and was just as heavy as a large suitcase. Fast-forward to 2008 and, in a world of mini laptops, it seems almost comical that mobile computers once weighed more than a small pair of dumbbells.

Why choose mini laptops?

Mini laptops are perfect for people who want to take their mini laptops or ultra small laptops anywhere with them. Lightweight and relatively small when compared to other laptops, these mini laptops are popular with those people who need their computer wherever in the world they are. As you'd expect, mini laptops don’t weight very much. Weighing just over three pounds, the Asus Eee is one of the lightest mini laptops available and comes highly recommended by users of ultra small laptops. Elsewhere, the Acer Aspire One – one of the tiniest mini laptops – weighs just under a kilogram. Still, these aren’t the only mini laptops on the market and there are a wide range of mini laptops worthy of your consideration if you’re looking for a small computer.

Free mini laptops with mobile broadband

Mobile broadband is becoming more popular with owners of mini laptops. Allowing consumers to access the internet on the go, mobile broadband is acknowledged as one of the most convenient and simple ways to connect to the internet outside of the home. As companies are now offering free mini laptops with mobile broadband, many shoppers are turning to these packages as a way of getting free mini laptops complete with internet access.

What you need to know about mini laptops

Mini laptops are great for checking your email or working on the go, although they're not designed to replace your home computer. Those looking to purchase a new laptop for multimedia or computer games should focus their search on a range of laptops specifically designed for this purpose. Shoppers should also be aware of the battery life of mini laptops. If consumers are planning on using mini laptops on the move, either commuting or out of the office, they should take into consideration how long their mini laptops will operate without a power supply. The ultra small laptops from Acer are reported to last up to three hours in consumer reviews. This three hour mark is generally considered as the standard time a mini laptop can function for, although some mini laptops can function for up to seven. This is because they come with a six-cell battery rather than the standard three, although these varieties of mini laptops are usually heavier.
