The Smallest Laptop Computer

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

If you haven’t noticed let me tell you that laptops are getting bigger. They’re a bit like cars, a manufacturer introduces a small car and over the years the small car gradually gets bigger and bigger until suddenly the manufacturer finds that there’s room in their line-up for another small car.

That seems to be what some laptop manufacturers have just discovered and now we’re seeing the introduction of a genuinely small laptop. There are several manufacturers who are in the market but Asus seems to be the leader at the moment with their Eee range.

A genuinely small laptopIn case you’re wondering about where they got that unusual name then you’ll find tghe answer on Asus Eee home page.

This laptop is a genuine notebook sized computer. It’s just 7 inches or 17cm on it’s longest side and it weighs just 0.92kg.

There are several models in the Eee range but they all come with WiFi connectivity and a solid-state hard drive. Asus suggests that their Eee laptops are so user-friendly you don’t even need a technical manual.
