The 5 Smallest Laptops in The World

Everyone wants to make the smallest and the cheapest laptop (or so it would seem). It’s apparently the latest trend in technology that sells, and every hardware manufacturer under the bloody sun it jumping on the bandwagon. In this super amazing post, we’ll have a look at the top 5, and pick a winner for style, functionality, and price.

(on a side note, RE the first picture, they may be small but I wouldnt advise taking them to a beach or spa, its just a recipe for disaster really…)

First up is the one that started it all really, this was the bad boy that kicked off the trend – and everyone else is to an extent just copying it. The Asus Eee PC (£220), pictured here in use by a lady with rather nice breasts. This one is (so far) the definitive winner of the functionality category.

Then there was the Everex Cloudbook (£340), which was so unbelievably delayed and unreliably promoted that it pretty much lost all its credibilty before it even went on sale! I’m not a fan of this little one, its ugly, it doesnt do much, and its overpriced.

Then more recently there’s been the 3K Computers RazorBook400 (£200 est) which we don’t know very much about because it isnt actually in production yet, but the pictures and the proposed specs (4GB Flash memory, boot time of 8 seconds) sound pomising.

Then there’s the real market-killer, the Dell Mini-Inspiron, which really really looks promising. Its sleek, smooth, sexy and doesnt look half as plasticy as the other mini laptops. Its probably fair to assume that this luxury comes at a price though, and I wouldnt expect to find one (when its released) for under £450. A clear winner of the syle category.

And finally, there’s the ‘One Laptop Per Child‘ project (£100), who have created this monstrosity laptop to be cheap and usable by children – so that it can be distributed to less fortunate countries and aid them, etc. (They don’t have food but as long as they have wifi and broadband they’ll be just fine!) It is however, an easy winner of the price category.

The Dell is by far the most exciting if you ask me, and I am shallow and may trade in my Eee when the time comes just for the sake of looking good. Then sit back with my executive tableware, and see how quickly I can type on yet another computer where the keys are so close together that I need chopsticks to hit them individually.
