Tips for Consulting When Purchasing Mini Laptop Computer
Accompanying with the wide spreading popularity of the Mini Laptop Computer, I'm not at all surprised that people will do some research before acting to find what kind of mini laptop computer is a good fit for them. Mini laptop computers are extremely light and affordable, while still providing comprehensive function someone would need. Below is a list of some of the things to look out for when purchasing a mini laptop computer.
Cost – It's at the top of everyone's list when they look to purchase anything, not just Laptops Notebooks. While price is often related to quality, some companies do offer superior products at a low cost. It's just about putting in the time to find them. There average cost is around $250-$400 dollars.
OS – The operating system is almost as important as the hardware or brand that you choose. I won't make you research or struggle through for this one. Get Windows XP. Windows Vista and Windows 7 look awesome, but require much better hardware to run efficiently. Windows XP does a great job and running quickly and without problem on these mini notebooks.
Processor – You don't have a lot of choices when it comes to the processor on the mini laptop computers. You've got the tried and true Atom processor. Lately however the companies have been working on a new Atom processor called the Ion. If you can find a model with the new Ion processor it's definitely worth spending a bit more to get it. RAM – It's best to get as much RAM as possible, especially with the decent decline in cost of RAM. Unfortunately most mini notebooks only allow for a maximum of 2GB's of RAM so if you purchase a model with less, make sure you purchase some extra RAM and install it.
Hard Drive – You've got two choices for hard drives, a solid state drive or a standard laptop hard drive. You're really looking at size versus durability. Pick the SSD if you want durability and pick the standard laptop hard drive if you need size.
Battery – All mini notebooks have a decent battery life, but some models, specifically the Asus 1005HA offer amazing battery life. Over 10 hours in fact. That lets you go almost an entire day before you need to search for a wall outlet to keep your laptop running.
Screen - You've got two big choices just like with the hard drive. You've got a 9 and 10 inch
Screen to choose from. Go with the 10 inch screen. After owning both models it's an easy choice, pick the 10 inch model. It also might be worth looking into a touch tablet style screen. Some of the newer Asus models have them and I was really impressed after using one.
Keyboard – The keyboard is directly attached to the screen size. The larger screen allows for a larger keyboard and the 10 inch keyboard is much better to type on than the 9 inch. The 10 inch screen and 10 inch keyboard go hand in hand in being to best choice for the ideal mini notebook.
Weight – Weight isn't really a concern when choosing what mini notebook you want, mainly because they are all so small that they all fall into the light category. None of them exceed anywhere near 3 pounds.
Wireless – I don't think you could find a mini notebook computer without wireless such as wifi, but I suppose they do exist. Instead look for the latest 802.11n models which offer a much faster and updated wireless experience compared to the now standard 802.11g which is what comes standard on most notebooks.
There you have it, ten tips to help you find the perfect mini laptop computers. If you find something that fits these requirements you'll definitely be happy with your final purchase. Just remember to take your time and find the perfect model for you. The good thing is that you can find all kinds of Consumer Electronics on online marketplace at cost-effective. Hope you have a good purchasing!
