Mini netbooks are small, portable computers with a screen size of 10-11 inches. They lack processing power but are sufficient for basic tasks. They have long battery life, wireless capabilities, and are easy to carry. They usually don’t have an optical drive or a full-sized keyboard.
A mini netbook is a small portable computer with a screen size that is generally between 10 and 11 inches (25 to 28 cm). This type of small laptop is very popular for travel and on-the-go use, and while it may lack the processing power or speed of a full-sized laptop, it is often quite sufficient for those who want to use their own computers just to check e-mail or use some simple programs. A mini netbook is usually much less expensive than a full size laptop.
Specs vary, of course, between manufacturers of these computers, and each mini netbook may be slightly different. For this reason, it’s important to shop around and determine how you want to use your computer to find the best one. Overall, there are a few features that are common to most mini netbooks; most don’t include an optical drive, which is a CD or DVD drive. An external optical drive can usually be connected via a USB port.
Also, a mini netbook will often have a smaller keyboard than a regular laptop because there simply isn’t room for a full-sized keyboard. It may also have a slower processor, less RAM, a slightly smaller hard drive, and a stripped-down version of the operating system it’s running; for this reason it is usually only possible to run one or two applications at a time on a netbook. Mini netbooks tend to have very long battery life, however, due to the slower processor, and many can run for five to seven hours on a single charge.
A mini netbook will typically have built-in wireless capabilities and be able to connect to various wireless networks easily. Some are also able to connect to the 3G cellular networks offered by many cell phone carriers, but often you need to purchase a netbook directly from a cell phone carrier to get this capability. Also, a mini netbook will be very light and easy to carry around, making it a good choice for travel, students, or business. It can often fit into a regular bag without having to purchase a separate laptop bag.
Some people choose to purchase an external mouse for use with a netbook if they don’t want to use the touchpad. This type of mini laptop can be a great choice when used with realistic expectations for its capabilities. Keep in mind that as more features are added to the computer, the price will also increase, sometimes exponentially.
