Does the Size of Your Laptop Really Matter?

Posted on 08 October 2008 by Ditto

The question in computing has become, “Does size and weight really matter or is it more important to have an all powerful computer that allows you to fit every piece of software and save as many songs as will fit on your computer?” Another issue may be whether the smaller dimensions are more concerning or if the light-weight portability is the key concern. I think the availability of different types of portable computers now lets us truly personalize our computers into something that works for all of us and doesn’t have to be run of the mill for the world.

The release of the brand new macbookair by Apple has really given us a selection with the size and weight and what kind of laptop computer we drag around with us all the time. At less than 3 pounds and thinner than a picture frame, we don’t have to get a workout every time we pick it up. It has a 13 inch display and a normal keyboard. Who wouldn’t be interested? This is the very attribute I have been seeking.

When I first witnessed the youtube video for the MacBook Air with a slim, easy to handle laptop coming out of that manila envelope, I was simply stunned. Now, that’s what I’ve been hunting for. Now it doesn’t have to be a major accomplishment to take my laptop with me any longer! No extra bag that can weigh likely as much as the portable computer, no more grimacing, no longer taking up so much extra room! What a happy day!

The never ending question of whether size really matters is here now and my answer, when it comes to a miniature laptop is a booming, “yes, Yes, YES!” Size does matter and so does weight. For me and my laptop smaller is by far and away better.
