Why Buy a Mini Laptop?

Are you in the market for a new computer and are still unsure if you should join the netbook craze? Well let me help you make your decision and give you some great reasons to buy a mini laptop.
If you travel at all, your trip will never be the same after you've experienced traveling with a mini laptop.
Not only are you able to work on your spreadsheet or document for school or work while you travel, but you can also watch movies, listen to music, play games, create photo albums of your travel pictures, and on and on is the list of things you can do with your new mini laptop.
The size of a netbook is perfect for travel.
The largest mini comes in at only 12", which still leaves tons of room for the rest of your travel gear.
The heaviest mini I have encountered so far is only 3.
4 pounds *with* the charging adapter.
This will not weigh you down at all.
In fact, many reviews I've read of people carrying the mini laptops while walking major cities have mentioned not being sore or weighed down at all by the mini.
If you do travel, make sure to invest that little bit extra into upgrading your battery.
This will give you maximum battery life, of which the longest I've seen is clocked at a significant 9.
5 hours.
For those who have a tendency towards klutziness, the mini laptop is perfect for you.
The thought of dropping a mug of coffee into your multi-thousands of dollars laptop is quite flinch-inducing.
However, if you invest in a mini laptop, which starts at only $250, now your mug of coffee has not put you into serious credit card debt.
With the holiday season coming right around the corner, the mini makes a great gift idea.
They even have pink netbooks for those who follow the latest and greatest fashion trends.
For the environmentally conscious person, the mini laptop is known for being eco-friendly.
The mini uses less power than the larger varieties, and the smaller size means a smaller carbon footprint from the factory.
You will find many mini's to have the Energy Star logo, which means the amount of power needed to fuel the laptop is eco-friendly.
Also look for the RoHS directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) and the EPEAT (Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool) certification.
The Toshiba NB205 meets these criteria, with an Energy Star rating of 5.
0, and EPEAT Gold, and also is RoHS certified.
