Q. What is a mini laptop?

Answer

What we commonly refer to as a "mini laptop" is technically known as a "mobile Internet device" (MID). Some mini laptops are as small as a paperback book and weigh as little as 2 pounds (907 grams), making them much more portable than traditional laptops. A buyer can get one for at least a couple hundred dollars cheaper than a standard laptop. Mini laptops, often known as netbooks, could be an excellent choice for frequent fliers who need a portable computer. These computers typically use batteries with a lifespan of a few hours, but longer-lasting batteries are available for purchase.
