Notebook computers are not the smallest fully functional computer anymore. Now mini notebook computers, also known as netbooks, are the most compact and portable computers one can find. These little things measure up to 12” diagonally and come with a hard disk, a motherboard and a processor, wireless internet card and everything else except a DVD drive.

The netbook can be used for everything from surfing the internet, downloading e-mails, working on spreadsheets, making and editing presentations etc. One of the more popular operating system that comes built-in is Windows XP from Microsoft. Also, even the latest Microsoft Office Suite can be installed, making it a boon for professionals on the move. So, rather than renting a laptop while in another city, you can carry one of these with you.

The keyboard layout is quite similar to its bigger counterparts, thus it does not take much time to get accustomed to working on the little computer. The only thing that needs a little getting used to is the size of the screen, with 10” diagonal size screen being a popular choice. Other than this, the working experience is not much different and coupled with portability, it is quite rewarding.

Price is the biggest advantage of this mini computer. You can get one of these for $200 to $400. Another plus is the battery life, on a single charge the battery will last for about 9 hours on most of the models. The efficient battery usage can be attributed to the smaller screen and a frugal processor. Check out the comparison prices at any mini notebook computers store.

Now that you know how advantageous mini notebook computers can be, it is time to buy one. But before buying there are certain things that you should look for, especially since there is a large variety of these available. The most important thing is to check whether the keyboard layout suits you. The other considerations would be the battery life, price, processor, and hard disk capacity. Rest assured, you will certainly not regret buying one!
