Why Laptops are obsolete

Notebooks have become commonplace in today's society, with sales trends and desktops to the people exceeded increasingly mobile. This trend has essentially remained unchanged, with sales of laptops per year increase.

Then in 2007 at the Computex Taipei 2007, ASUS unveiled the "Asus Eee PC - Netbook designed a smaller, cheaper and lighter than conventional notebooks. It was a logical idea easier, too. The original Asus Eee PC 7Inch Eee PC 701 is still for sale, but the netbook has changed. then develop Asus, it's PC series of "Eee-count 9 and 10 inches, top-of-the-range Eee PC S101 and the technology used to make products from the screen, Eee Top, without a computer, mouse and keyboard designed to be portable. other companies entered the fray as the Acer Aspire One netbook (even Asus in sales will match) and MSI - presented the first 10 inchesNetbook, wind, now almost the norm in the industry. Gradually take the main players have felt from HP, Samsung, LG, Toshiba, Dell and Sony recently the field with mini-laptops are used more or less mimics the pioneering Asus. The only big company that seems missing from the Battle of Apple, but rumor has it they are trying to produce a tactile model combines the operating system Mac with iPhone technology.

So, the mini-notebooksMarket has already captured the hearts and minds of producers, after all the models is the cheapest and easiest are easier to market and sell. But what about consumers? What do you think?

A common complaint about a mini-laptop, the interface is just too small. The keyboard with a provision of the arms is narrow, the touchpad is too small and the buttons are particularly positioned. In fact, netbooks are a bit earlier to a catastrophe - but their cousins, much youngerthe first attempts to produce a mini-laptop. Now, more players entering the market, they are rivals use their previous trial and error, leads the lines of unique shops and use their names to market their own their products. Today marks appear more "to get more shelf space to be used - perhaps they are more profitable ... Consumers can be laptop-warming to the idea of a mini view of the sudden wash of the great brands on theMarket.

Another point of criticism is the lack of computing power and CD / DVD-ROM. Netbooks start of its construction have been developed to easily and cheaply, so that was the new Intel Atom construction designed to perform basic tasks like word processing, surfing the Internet and conduct games of light. The advantage of such a processor is simple: It is more efficient, which helped to greater autonomy (even with a smaller screen). The lack of an optical drive (yourCD / DVD-ROM) is needed to cut extra size and weight - and for those who really complain about it, there is a solution! A low-cost external USB floppy drive is between £ 20-30, or splash water on a laptop, ultra portable laptops like the Sony VAIO TT (which is the world's smallest portable Blu-ray) just 11.1 centimeters in diameter.

The lack of features compared to a laptop is a bad argument for most people. Of course, a laptop capable of running graphicssoftware-intensive games or more - they have to do the processors, but it is always less than a desktop computer. Most functions on a laptop is less than a desktop computer, with one exception. The portability of a laptop is the main selling point, and it is customary to think that it is the norm. But if they move, like a laptop is designed for, how often is it that you need all this computing power? Any extra features? All the extra weight and volume?All these extra costs? Would you like to turn to smaller, slightly lighter and less expensive - mini-notebook? (Fits to add maps better, some features like the integrated webcam, Bluetooth, integrated SIM card are not available in standard laptops while they are on the netbooks)

Yes, there will be powerful, the professionals need, but the power of mobile computing, but this trend of "Portable" line of ultra portable computers anyway devices like the SonyVAIO series or Apple MacBook (for designers). Mini-notebooks and netbooks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and already in its short existence they have managed to already Aroundabout 10% of the notebook market.

I predict that the mini-notebook portable computing is the primary supplement to a desktop computer. Laptops will get to one of experts and will be marketed as such. Especially in these times ofbad economic news, think the smarter people, where they splash their money - so if you are looking to invest in a laptop new pause - and reflect. Do I pay a few hundred pounds extra for these features? Do I really need? Can I take the trouble of that extra weight in my pocket?
