Choosing A Laptop Homepage

Question: Are mini laptops a good choice for a laptop?

(Posted by: ilove55 on 2010-08-08 17:11:03)

I am a full time college student, im also taking a few online classes and i use the computer/ internet a lot for pictures, music, and social networking on the internet. I like apples but im not sure if they are worth the extra money. I was also thinking about buying a mini laptop because of the light weight and price but i want to make sure it is a good choice for my needs and it will be durable and fast. help! and on a side note if yu have a preference brand or laptop.

HP, Lenovo, Apple, etc are good brands. I have HP Mini 110. Its good. Not very good for watching movies, hardcore gaming, etc..

Personally I think that should not buy a mini laptop becuase they cannot hold all of your pictures, music and any other data. In the other hand they are really lightweight and easy to carry around but they should only be used for light email or webrowsing. And you should not buy an apple rather for the same price buy an HP, Sony, Dell, etc. who can give you more memory, hard drive and features for about the same price as an entry macbook.

My personal preference has nothing to do with this or you. Why I like a brand or model might not be why you like a brand or model. For what you list, a mini, or NETBOOK is just fine... because the things you list are the reasons why Netbooks were made. Now if you don't need an optical drive (CD/ DVD drive), and you don't need to use the unit for ANYTHING else, then a mini or NETBOOK will be perfect for you. However, if you need an optical drive, you will either have to buy an external one, or you will need an actual laptop. end of line
