Mini-laptops and mini-notebooks are becoming increasingly popular because manufacturers no longer have to trade functionality and speed to offer them for an ultra-low price. Whether a consumer wants to access e-mail; create, edit or watch watch video; play online games; listen to MP3s or internet radio; browse the internet for the latest news, information, or blog entries; or learn from a cyber textbook, these mini computers are revolutionary.

Mini notebooks and mini laptops are half the size of traditional machines, but incredibly powerful and ultra-portable. They are exploding in popularity in four markets: - Rural areas around the globe that are cut off from new sources of information such as updated textbooks and up-to-the-minute news turn to these devices to solve these problems.

Many poor areas have both the above problem and also the problem of families not being able to afford a full fledged computer.?- Consumers in the U.S., Japan, and elsewhere often have computing needs that are much less than what a large and expensive computer delivers. Groups such as children, stay at home parents, and senior citizens may want something easy, cheap portable, and light.?- Many families in wealthier countries are finding that they need almost one computer to every family member. However, to save space and money, and for maximum convenience, they buy one or two large models and the rest are mini-laptops or mini-notebooks.

What has happened over the past few years to truly make mini-laptops and mini-notebooks so popular is that manufacturers no longer have to strip down a lot of the functionality of a larger model to get to a price and size that attracts the consumer. In fact, most of the current minis have the functionality of the fully powerful notebooks and laptops of just a few years ago. They have a screen much larger than a mobile phone or PDA, though slightly smaller than a full sized laptop.

The target price for 2010 many manufacturers have for mini-laptops and mini-notebooks is below $100. They also hope to bring their weight below a pound (they are currently only about a pound and a half). Whether a consumer wants to access e-mail, watch video, listen to MP3s, browse the internet, take pictures and video, or learn from a virtual textbook, these products are already revolutionary even before they take these exciting future steps.

For the more technologically minded, here is a brief synopsis of the features of the technology involved with mini notebooks and mini-laptops:

*Built-in Devices: Wireless LAN antenna, Bluetooth antenna - Dimensions (average): Width 6-7 in, Depth 5- 6 in, Height 1-1.4 in, Weight 1.5-1.75 lbs

*Processor: Intel A110 / 800 MHz

*Operating Systems: Varied, but include Windows products such as Vista

*Software: Many possibilities including standard Office products, photo and video editing, financial, etc.

*Cache Memory: Installed Size usually around 512 KB

*RAM: Installed Size .5-1 GB - Hard Drive: 20-60 GB

Mini-laptops and mini-notebooks will continue to evolve, but don't wait. Very powerful, ultra-portable, and inexpensive models are already available from major manufacturers.

Functionally chic women's laptop bags are hard to come by. One of my biggest complaints, and I've heard this from my friends too, is finding a women's laptop bag that's both feminine and functional. Most business women don't want to carry around a pink briefcase with flowers on it, or lug around a bag meant for a 6ft tall man. And why does it seem that most women's laptop cases don't have shoulder support? Men have so many cool options; they can go, techy or sophisticated, casual or urban. All they have to do is walk into a store and find a plethora of laptop bags to choose from.

I have gone on a search and found some pretty good options. My favorite is the bag by Hayden Harnett. It's not stiff like a lot of the laptop bags for women that I've seen, and it has a long adjustable shoulder strap.

MARC BY MARC JACOBS Lovely Behati Tote $458.

This supple leather tote is punctuated by bold, logo-etched rivets and soft pleating detail. Menswear-inspired pinstriped cotton twill lines the interior but still looks feminine. The top zip closure keeps your laptop and papers secure.

Celine Springbok Large Tote - $1,750

Yes, it's more than a bit spendy for a briefcase, but this bag screams luxury. Calf hair with smooth leather trim and an adjustable and removable flat leather shoulder strap with buckles, along with an interior leather-trimmed cell phone pocket, patch pocket, and zipped pocket are the perfect combination of opulence and function.

Hayden-Harnett Catalina Slouchy Laptop Brief - $473

Functional for an every-day workbag but not lacking in style. Adjust the strap to wear it across your body, or carry it by its padded handles. With a zippered top, and padded compartment, it keeps your stuff safe while sporting exterior slit and turnlock closure pockets for quick access.

Penelope Business Tote - $199

Who would've thought a business/laptop tote could be so stylish and so practical? Loaded with interior pockets, a plush notebook computer compartment, and sturdy brass hardware, the Penelope tote is ready for the most rigorous Road Warrior treatment. But, thanks to its graceful dome and the embossed crocodile pattern on its soft leather exterior, only you will know it's more than a chic handbag.

The Ansley Bag $299

The Ansley Bag in Fawn combines canvas and leather for a stylish and practical addition to your bag collection (except this one pulls double duty as a laptop bag). With a coordinating laptop sleeve that holds a 15 ?" laptop, the Ansley bag is scaled to hold other necessities such as your wallet, keys and cell phone, you won't want to leave home without it.

Diane Von Furstenberg Lizard on the Go Flap Brief - $120

A stylish women's laptop bag doesn't have to cost a bundle. Snug this DVF bag with fully padded laptop compartment and top zip closure (hurry, it won't last long!). The bag also includes lots of business accessory compartments for all of your "stuff".

Mango Tango Faux Croc Laptop Bag in brown - $23.99

This bags color will accompany any wardrobe nicely. An extremely functional bag with plenty of room to store a laptop and several of its larger accessories. A stylish bag that will not break the bank. It's cheap and chic, you can't beat that! Get one before they're gone.

I hope these options will help alleviate the challenge of trying to search for a laptop bag which has a perfect combination of functionality and femininity.
