Small Screen Notebooks & Laptops: A Review
You want to get your hands on some small screen notebooks or laptop so that you can move around and have total mobility when you are doing your computing on the road. Well you are in luck because many customers these days have been asking for these light and small machines so finally computer companies are coming out with more and more of these models.
Before you decide that you want to get yourself a small screen laptop make sure that you know exactly what you’ll be using the system for. If you are just doing word processing, emails, web surfing and simple computer tasks then this might be a great match for you. On the other hand if you’re doing visual work like graphics or video you might want to look at a wide screen laptop instead.
In my case I do most of my computer consulting work from my studio and house so I have no real need to buy a laptop with the smallest screen possible. I can see the use of them because you can be extremely mobile. So if you are the kind of person that loves to do work on the go, in coffee shops, on planes, etc then these new models may be the ones for you.
I recently did some searching on the web to see what kind of small screen laptops I could come up with and I found a few worth mentioning. The main companies I would recommend you to look into would be an Asus or an Acer. They both seem to really be making some nice little laptops for you to easily carry around while you’re on a business adventure.
They are small but still pack a bit of computing power. Asus has one machine called the Asus Eee PC coming out in spring of 2009. It’s tiny ultra portable but it seems to be a bit heavy for my liking – 4.4 pounds! Then you can check out the ultra light and also widescreen Acer Aspire One. This computer has an 8.9 inch wide screen and a keyboard that most people love using. So there you have a it a few more choices to look into if you’re considering buying a small screen notebook or laptop for your portable computer needs!
