    Many new computers and laptops sold today include a widescreen monitor with a nice high resolution. For many applications, such as games and movies, having a large widescreen monitor makes the experience much better.

  • Advantages of Mini Laptops

    Advantages of Mini Laptops

    When a person is first looking for a new laptop, they may feel overwhelmed by all of the choices out there. Stores that carry laptops, generally have several different brands and models for a person to choose from.

    Depending on whether or not the person knows what they are looking for, it could take a very long time to sort through the ones that will provide the user with what they need. One of the first things to decide is whether or not they want a laptop or a mini laptop.

    The mini laptop holds several advantages over the more common full sized laptop. Depending on the person, the mini laptop may be the perfect choice. One of the first things that are great about mini laptops is their portability. With the majority of these laptops weighing only a pound or two, they are the ideal weight and size for travel.

    One of the best things about these laptops is that they can perform the majority of the same tasks as a full size laptop.

    The reason that the mini laptop is so portable is because it does not have a few things that are commonly found on regular laptop. The first thing is that these laptops do not have a disc drive.

    The disc drive may be an important component for some people, while others may not prefer to have the extra weight. For those that do not care about the disc drive, then that is just one more reason why the mini laptop may suit them.

    Another reason why the mini laptop is much smaller than a common laptop is obviously the screen size. These laptops generally have a screen size of about 11 inches. This is considerably smaller than full sized laptop screen, which can be up to 17 inches.

    These screens are still big enough for word processing, but may be a bit small for watching a full length movie on. While the processing speed of these laptops is not fast enough to run graphically demanding games, they can still provide excellent picture quality and most multitasking needs.

    Overall, the choice between a mini laptop and a regular laptop is dependent on so many factors. The main factor is preference because many people enjoy a larger screen, but some people really need the portability of the mini laptop for travel.

    No matter what the choice, it is hard to go wrong with either product.
