What is interesting, nowadays manufacturers of the laptops know how to combine high functionality and portability in small models. These models are small in size and at the same time are affordable for the representatives of all social groups. These ultra thin laptops are very attractive for the users because they can function on the same level as the powerful notebooks and laptops. Mini notes have larger screens in comparison with the mobile phones and PDAs but they are smaller than the laptops. If to talk about the price of the mini notes it can be below 100$. Besides, the manufacturers want to produce the laptop that will weigh less than a pound. Mini laptops are revolutionary and can provide the user with the permanent access to the internet, listening to the music, taking pictures and video. Mini laptops are perfect since they are extremely portable and at the same time are affordable.

Modern technologies made it possible today to cope with a lot of tasks at the same time thanks to the all set of functions offered by the laptop. Mini notebooks are presented by different models and every user can find what is the most suitable for him. Small laptops can be taken to the different types of meetings and to the classes since they allow taking notes very quickly. Small laptops allow the user running a lot of programs at the same moment. The memory capacity can also greatly vary but mostly it is enough to store different files. However, the most important advantage of the laptops is that they are cheaper in comparison with the fully powerful laptop. Besides, mini laptops are very light in weight and can be easily transported especially when you travel a lot and all the time need to take the computer with you.

Revenues for Netbooks, or mini-notebooks, rose to $3 billion in the second quarter of the year, a leap of 264 percent over the second quarter of 2008, according to the new “Quarterly Notebook PC Shipment and Forecast Report” released Thursday. With those gains, Netbooks now enjoy an 11.7 percent share of the portable PC market.

Though traditional notebooks still command an 89 percent slice of the market, their second quarter sales fell to $23.2 billion, a 14 percent decline from the second quarter of 2008.

Measuring 2009′s second quarter against the prior year’s quarter, sales fell in all subcategories of the portable PC market, including ultraportables and desktop replacements, the report noted. PCs in the 13-inch to 16-inch range managed to eke out a gain, but only measured against the first quarter of 2009.

The low prices of Netbooks appeal to consumers looking for a second PC and to those in emerging markets who don’t need the rich and costly features of a large laptop. The market has also been buoyed by cable and telecommunications providers who have doled out Netbooks to customers who sign up for lengthy contracts.

…

Nowadays we all want fast and portable devices to help us with our daily tasks, and the netbooks are great for people who need this kind of assistant for their work.  Buying a laptop is a pretty tough process, and maybe you will need some advice in choosing the best product for you.

We can now own a tiny laptop to carry around with us at a fraction of the price of a full size laptop and have access to the net wherever and whenever we wanted. Netbooks made a revolution, and if you are after one head out to GeekWithLaptop and check their tips for buying a Netbook.

That’s going to be the burning question for computer shoppers perusing the aisles of electronics retail stores this fall. That’s when the new line of notebooks powered by consumer ultra-low voltage (CULV) chips will start appearing in force. They’ll be sitting right next to the trendiest offering in portable computing, Netbooks. Netbooks have come to be viewed as the best way to get cheap, portable computing, but CULV notebooks could change that.

CULV-based notebooks are poised to give Netbooks a run for their money.

Netbooks are mini-notebooks with screens between 9 and 11 inches, that have lower-power processors, and fewer features, but very attractive price points. CULV-based notebooks are ultrathin notebooks. They come with a more traditional 12- or 13-inch screen, but are also very low-power, so they have great battery life. Starting at $600 to $1,000, they’ll occupy the price range just a step above Netbooks, which run between $200 and $500.

That’s where the choice comes in. Will consumers go for a Netbook, which is less expensive, sometimes harder to use, but very portable? Or a sleek-looking notebook with great battery life and a slightly higher price? Just a bit more money could mean a far more fully featured computer. Who would still go for a Netbook?

Some analysts suggest many won’t.

For its part, the provider of these ultra-low voltage chips, Intel, would prefer to steer people toward CULVs. Sure, Intel is also responsible for the Netbook phenomenon, but those devices carry much lower profit margins. Intel CEO Paul Otellini on Tuesday talked up CULV notebooks and their advantages over Netbooks, saying, “Now, if you want a thin and light notebook, you don’t have to just pick a Netbook. You can pick an affordable notebook that has more functionality.”

Forget Sony’s CES protestations that it wasn’t interested in doing a Netbook. Forget, even, the impressively overreaching Vaio P (“Don’t call it a Netbook!”) Lifestyle PC. Sony has finally caved to market demand and is introducing what the company calls, “a chic new line of mini notebooks.”

The Sony Vaio W is a 10.1-inch Netbook, with an Intel Atom N280 CPU, 1GB of RAM, Windows XP, and a 160GB hard drive–all fairly common specs for the category. But many laptops with similar specs run $299-$399, while Sony says the Vaio W “will retail for about $500.” How does it justify that hefty premium?

It’s a gamble, but Sony is attempting to do what many Netbook makers wish they could do–introduce a higher-priced “premium” version of a Netbook. To that end, the Vaio W packs in a higher-resolution screen at 1,366×768. There’s also 802.11n Wi-Fi, a separate Memory Stick slot (on top of the standard SD card slot), Bluetooth, and Sony’s typical fit and finish, which usually includes excellent keyboards and touchpads.

Sony’s proprietary media software should also help the system connect to other DLNA devices easily, including the PlayStation 3.

The Vaio W is 1.3 inches thick, weighs 2.6 pounds, and will come in three colors–berry pink, sugar white, and cocoa brown. If that would make for an awkward conversation with a retail store clerk, you can probably just ask for it in plain old pink, white, or brown, and they’d be able to figure it out. The system is available for pre-order from Sony starting Tuesday, and should be arriving in retail stores sometime next month.

Click through for a couple of additional shots. …

When Sony launched the VAIO P, the company kept insisting it wasn’t a netbook. Perhaps this is why: Sony has a netbook coming next month.

An honest netbook, too, with an Atom CPU, Windows XP, and a maxed-out 160GB hard drive. Curiously, Sony appears to have been able to sidestep the “no screen resolution over 1024×600 when using an N-series Atom CPU” rule by offering a nice 1366×768 widescreen display.

And while the $500 price tag may appear a bit high compared to your standard netbook, I’d contend that the higher resolution screen, the island keyboard, and the nice-looking trackpad may be worth it for more than a few people. Though that tiny right shift key is going to rub some people the wrong way.

The Sony VAIO W Series will be available in three colors starting next month for around $500.

Digitimes is reporting that “Microsoft plans to redefine mini-notebooks that Intel has categorized as netbooks with a new term — low cost small notebook PC.” Oh that’s much simpler, thank you.

Microsoft general manager of the Application Platform & Development Marketing Division, Steven Guggenheimer said at Computex yesterday that “netbook” shouldn’t be used any more since netbooks can do more than just get on the internet.

Hey Guggenheimer, on behalf of technology bloggers everywhere, give it up. We’re not going to type out “low cost small notebook PC” when “netbook” has done just fine, thank you. Just because your abnormally long name is eclipsed only by your ridiculously long title doesn’t mean you need to drag us all down with you.

Some see this asinine strategy as a way for Microsoft to differentiate netbooks from mini-notebooks so it won’t have to ship as many cheap versions of Windows 7 Starter Edition. So only the crappiest of the crappy netbooks will get Windows 7 Starter, while slightly more-capable low cost small notebook PCs (or LCSNPCs) will be required to ship with a more expensive version of Windows 7.

More details are expected today as Guggenheimer delivers Microsoft’s keynote speech at Computex.

The Computex trade show, which opens Tuesday in Taipei, Taiwan, could also be known as Netbook-pallooza. It seems as if every tech company has something related to the rapidly growing category of mini-notebooks to announce there.

SanDisk is one of them, and though the company doesn’t make …
