For my regular work, I prefer using a full-size laptop, to get a good-sized keyboard and screen. However, there are times when I find it useful to have a smaller netbook computer, and if you need to be able to carry a laptop around then small is definitely beautiful – and light! Here I’ve picked out some of the best mini laptops on the market. ## 1. Acer Aspire AO533 in Red ![Acer Aspire AO533 in Red](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/07/8-best-mini-laptops/acer-aspire-ao533-in-red_8-best-mini-laptops_500x365.jpg) **Price:** $349.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) I’ve been very happy with the two Acers I’ve had up to now, so I’d certainly consider buying another one. This model has a decent 10in screen, so you wouldn’t have to strain to read anything. I love the red color, which makes a change from the usual standard silver. On a technical note, the netbook has an excellent 8 hour battery life, weighs under 3 pounds, and is just 1in thick. ## 2. Asus Eee 1005HA ![Asus Eee 1005HA](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/07/8-best-mini-laptops/asus-eee-1005ha_8-best-mini-laptops_500x401.jpg) **Price:** $269.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Netbooks just get cheaper and cheaper! If you’re looking for a basic machine with a good battery life, this could be the one for you. Like the Acer, it also has a 10in screen, and can manage 10 hours use on battery power. ## 3. Asus Eee Seashell **Price:** $349.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) This is similar to the previous Asus, the difference being that it offers a incredible 14 hours battery time. So if you need a lot of cable-free use, and can’t easily recharge the battery, this could be your machine. Say, for example, you’re going camping and can’t live without Facebook … ## 4. Toshiba N310 **Price:** $328.95 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) I’m now concluding that 10.1in must be the standard screen size for netbooks (not so long ago, there were a lot of 7 or 8in screens on the market, which were a bit too small for my liking. As well as a good battery (always an essential), this has one useful little feature – the impact sensor, which helps protect against knocks. ## 5. Lenovo IdeaPad **Price:** $439.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) If you love your gadgets, this might interest you. The IdeaPad is a versatile little machine that functions as both a netbook and a tablet (touchscreen). At under $450, it is well below the cost of an iPad. ## 6. Apple IPad Tablet **Price:** from $739.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) If you’re an Apple devotee, and must have the real deal, then here it is. Apple products seem to have a very loyal following, with people queuing up to be among the first to get their hands on the new iPad, iPhone, iShoes … are you sure I’m kidding about that last one? ## 7. Samsung N150 Caribbean Yellow ![Samsung N150 Caribbean Yellow](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/07/8-best-mini-laptops/samsung-n150-caribbean-yellow_8-best-mini-laptops_500x373.jpg) **Price:** $331.72 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) They don’t get much more colorful than this little yellow number! Or if yellow isn’t your thing, you can opt for pink. A big plus point is the anti-glare screen, which would be especially useful when working outside. It is also designed to use less power, which makes it green (in the environmental sense, that is). ## 8. Disney Netpal by Asus ![Disney Netpal by Asus](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/07/8-best-mini-laptops/disney-netpal-by-asus_8-best-mini-laptops_500x439.jpg) **Price:** $340.37 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Definitely a girly netbook, this one! It’s designed for kids aged 6-12, but if you’re really into Disney (as some adults are), you may want to borrow it from them. Obviously, a major concern for parents with internet use is safety, and this netbook has many parental control features that will help keep your kids safe. Do you own a netbook? If so, would you recommend it? What features do you look for when considering which one to buy? Is appearance a factor? ## Related Posts - [specs appeal](https://allwomenstalk.com/8-frames-for-specs-appeal/) - [90s toy fads](https://allwomenstalk.com/8-crazy-collectible-toy-fads/) - [confusing technology](https://allwomenstalk.com/8-confusing-pieces-of-technology/) - [cute caprice](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-super-cute-retro-buys/) - [7toys](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-toys-we-never-outgrow/) - [cool fuel efficient cars](https://allwomenstalk.com/8-cool-fuel-efficient-vehicles/) - [old as seen on tv products](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-most-ridiculous-as-seen-on-tv-products/) - [7 Best Flat Irons ...](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-best-flat-irons/) - [awesome motorcycles](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-awesome-motorcycles/) - [ikea animal print rug](https://allwomenstalk.com/8-fab-rugs/) - [8 Great Road Trip Destinations ...](https://travel.allwomenstalk.com/8-great-road-trip-destinations/) - [8 Tips to Travel Cheap ...](https://travel.allwomenstalk.com/8-tips-to-travel-cheap/) ## Site Information - [Main page](https://allwomenstalk.com) - [Contact us](https://allwomenstalk.com/contact.html) - [HTML article](https://allwomenstalk.com/8-best-mini-laptops/)
