Thanks to my ever-sharp friend, RBW, for sending along the June 5, 2008 New York Times article by Eric A. Taub covering the mini-mini laptop computers available now. If you really need a light-weight computer that's wi-fi ready, a second computer for your beach house or for school-aged children, consider these new options. Seem expensive? Nah, some of these are less than the Nintendo Wii game, and most are half the cost of a new BBQ grill.
They include:
Everex CloudBook 7" screen, price: $499, weight: 2 lb.
HP 2133 Mini-Note 8.9" screen, price: $499-789, weight: 2.6 lb.
Asus Eee PC 900 8.9" screen, price: $299 499, weight 2.2 lb.
Fujitsu LifeBook U810 5.6" screen, price: $999-1399, weight: 1.5 lb.
This summer, Acer will issue a 2.2 lb. "Aspire One," and we can expect more companies to launch mini-computers including Dell and Apple. Where innovation goes, so go the giants
