Has anybody bought these small laptops they are selling in the market, the price would be around QR999 to 1499? Are they worth it?

They are called netbook which is good for net browsing and word processing so do not expect for more.

But if you are looking for a good one, go for toshiba or Mcbook.

I strongly suggest you go get an Apple MacBook (price) or MacBook Air (size) or MacBook Pro (power).

I just recently bought the MacBook (latest/current model) at QR4,750. You can get it at around QR4,400-QR4,999. =)

Let me know when you plan to buy. Maybe I can assist you. ;)

yah they are great, but with a small processor, amazing for internet and small kind of work like office and such things, and reliable, small can be carried wherever u go, but if u will need to run software like autocad or adobe photoshop... u will find it useless...

Better buy a notebook with a price range of 2-2500k coz in the end, you will regret buying a mini and still want to upgrade to a bigger one.

If sky is the limit, I suggest buy the latest ones with a high specs.

Cheers!

well said Nachu...I would also like to add that the small screen and small video card would not allowe you to get all sorts of resolution categories. Keyboard is too small and if you have big fingers you need to get used to it....good luck..i would not advise you to buy one of those if it is going to be the only laptop you have...a second mobile lighter one maybe...

Cheers

They are more in to gadget segment than being a actual laptop. just like iphone, ipod stuff..

Its really good product if you are just looking for browsing, chatting , office application and etc. It gets slightly slow when you do some heavy duty works. They all comes with wirless network so its easy for you to carry with you and connect to any available network and start using the net on the GO.

The battery life of these kind of laptops are just amazing and you normally get above 5 hours once its charged fully ..

Good Luck for your "New Mini"
