Hard to glance at a networking magazine these days and not get caught up in the race to get to the smallest laptop.
Hard to glance at a networking magazine these days and not get caught up in the race to get to the smallest laptop.
Ok, so let me go out on a limb and say that I know why things are getting smaller and smaller as far as tech goes, but my question is do they really need to?
Funny how the televisions in our worlds are getting bigger daily but that we are demanding the smallest laptops possible.
We loved to walk out of the Best Buy with the television that needs its own zip code, so why are we so willing and able to let our laptops go all Dick Tracy?
To me the issue comes down to smaller may be better, but is smallest screen best?
As our technology grows, we are asking our laptops to shrink.
From a processor standpoint and from the point of view of the hardware, this all makes sense.
But does it make sense to the screen on these new smaller laptops?
The fact is that the hunt and the goal of the smallest laptop must come with winners and losers. And clearly, the loser here is the computer user that loves the big screen.
The graphics and the resolution performance on these smaller screens has never been this advanced, no doubt.
And then the question remains as to is that enough for the entertainment lovers that we really are?
So here's the one million dollar question...is the shrinking of these laptops and the subsequent shrinking of their screen in the best interest of everyone?
That answer would be a clear no from the movie watchers and from the graphic artists and for those who love the bigness of the big screens.
Welcomed and loved...that is how the majority of people who want these small laptops are approaching this new paradigm.
