Mini Notebooks

[ILP]

what oonu think about them?

they seem to be popular all of a sudden (or at least I am just noticing).
they seem like they'd be great for folks who travel.

Which brands to take a closer look at? which ones to pass on?

They have been around almost as long as Laptops are, but they were slow, clunky and expensive. Now they are faster, sleeker but just as expensive compared to say a laptop with more Real Estate.

Hey is a site outside of this that have udated reviews on them:

Or again since Amazon sells them you can check out the review of one model which will lead to speacs and discussions on similar models.

acer aspire one

If you plan to use these for more than web surfing, email, instant message video chat etc, you better off getting a laptop.
