Our top ten mini laptops list as of December 2008. This list compiles the best netbooks based upon cost, size, practicality and how useful they are. On a side note, we’ve also judged by looks as well in some cases.
Down the bottom is of our top ten mini laptops is…

#10 - Dell Inspiron Mini 9

At the bottom of our top ten mini laptops is the Dell Inspiron Mini 9. It is a simple spec 9 inch netbook with Intel Atom and HSDPA provided by Vodafone (on contract only). The Mini 9 trips up though over its keyboard which has no function keys and is altogether not very large anyway. This is thanks to the battery being pushing right into the chassis in a bid to make it smaller and lighter.

Overall: 2 stars

#9 - Asus Eee PC 701

The original netbook is still functional, although it is now second rate compared to its bigger and newer siblings. It also still has the old, slow Intel Celeron M processor - not the new Atom. It also lacks the storage and memory of the larger models, most of the 701 series are on 512MB of memory and between 2 and GB of SSD. Still true to the netbook roots, it is the smallest, cheapest and lightest mini laptop available - although you can do better.

The rapid emergence of USB memory sticks has taken the market by surprise. The technology and flexibility of the USB portable devices is increasing on a massive scale. Approximately 116 million of these devices were shipped by manufacturers in 2006. This is an increase of over 25 percent from the preceding year. In 2007, experts predicted the sales of removable memory sticks to increase by almost 300 percent.

Such whopping statistics provide a clear indication towards a recent trend to a much more faster and flexible solution than a floppy disk or compact disc solutions. It is believed that only ten percent of the users utilized their floppy disks, in 2003. Five years onwards, looking beyond 2008, we can safely assume the demise of the floppy disks, forever. Still, industry experts believe that a USB memory stick has a long way to go.

DECIDING ON A NEW HARD DRIVE

Installing a new hard drive is a pretty simple task and the actual install only takes a few minutes to complete. The first thing to be done in this process is purchase the new hard drive and make sure that it is compatible with your system this can be done by consulting your motherboard manual and your operating systems guidelines on what hard drives are compatible. You then must decide what storage capacity your new drive must have and any other factors including price you feel you should be taken into consideration when making the purchase.

PEPARING FOR THE INSTALL

Once you have purchased your new hard drive it is time to prepare for the install. I recommend first installing any software that came with your drive. Once this is accomplished it is time to think about safety. First power off the machine (I also recommend unplugging the tower from the power source.) Now remove the cover so that you can access the inside of your system. Usually it only takes the removal of a few screws and then lifting off the side panel to open the unit, however some machines differ from this rule and you may even need to remove a front portion in order to open the case. Either way once the case is open attach your antistatic bracelet if you have one if not continuously touch the metal outside edges of the case to expel any built up static electricity. This will prevent any sensitive components inside your machine from being damaged.
