Small Laptop Computers

Some 14 inch laptops (and almost every small laptop with a display under 14 inches) weighs between 2.5 and 5 pounds. These are classified as ultra portable notebook computers. The smallest laptop class, 6 to 11 inch displays, are almost entirely powered by Intel Atom processors and described as a netbook or mini laptop. Some of the 11 inch and almost all of the 12 to 14 inch small notebook computers are powered by mainstream processors. A small notebook computer this size will usually fall into the bare bones or entry level groups I have for the standard best laptop computers.

You pay a premium for the smaller, lighter computer. At Dell USA, where they appear to be on sale, it costs you about $75 to go from the 15 inch to the 13 inch display with everything else the same. Generally the price increase is $100 or more. Upper end computers aren't readily available. There is too much heat for the space in the case.
