Recommend me a mini notebook please!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I am wanting a compact notebook. Below or equal to a 12" screen.

Under £800 or $1200.

I have been looking at the 8.9" JVC mini note.

Can you please give me a advice or suggestions of other models.

That is a hard price point to hit in a notebook that small. At least with newer notebooks. You may be able to find a Fujitsu Lifebook P series for that price. It is a decent notebook, and a much better price than the Sony T or S series. You may also want to take a look at Averetec notebooks. I personally don't care for the white color of their current line. But maybe white notebooks don't bother you. Lastly if you don't necessarily need Windows, Apple has some decent 12" models in both the iBook and Powerbook lines.

Things you should think about, anything less than 12" is probably going to use a lower power processor, so it will usually be clocked slower. Most of the sub-notes use an integrated graphics controller with shared memory. There are exceptions in the 12" range, but I don't know of any below that size range.

You should try and find a notebook in the size range you want and type on it, as the keyboards can be cramped for some users.

Good luck.

The Dell 700M can probably be specked out for that price.

Yep. The Dell 700m... oh, it's Dell 710m now!!!

I wouldn't do the Dell personally. I called them recently about the 700m, and they informed me that it is still using the 855 chipset. So you wont be able to do any overclocking of the processor (the best part), and the shared memory for graphics can only go up to 64MB. They neglect that information on their site, so be carefull.
