Here mini laptops will be compared. Let’s assume that mini laptops have no bigger than 14 inch screen. As laptops screens now are wider, they look smaller than older laptops with 14 inch screen. And let’s take two types of mini laptops: netbooks and small laptops. Almost every laptop manufacturer has his line of so called netbooks.
Dell Inspiron Mini laptops. Mini-series 10 is with 10 inch screens.  They are the smallest laptops or, in other words, netbooks. Some of Inspirons laptops also belong to this group. These are: Inspiron 11z and Inspiron 13z. Some of small Inspirons have dual core processors and nVidia graphics cards. Moreover, they already have internal DVD's.
Dell Studio XPS 13 may also be named a mini laptop. Nowadays, some of them come with nVidia graphics card.
Adamo from Dell. This is a new line of mini laptops from Dell. The design is really eye-catching and the chassis is made from aluminium.

HP Pavilion series models from screen sizes 11.6 to 13.3 inch must be considered as well. They have Intel Celeron or AMD Athlon processors. HP also has a line, called Envy Home Notebook PCs. Models with 13.1 inch screens can also be found on this line. Though, they are quite expensive.
