Since I run Web-based businesses, I can’t afford to be away from my computer for long. I wanted a netbook because I travel on business about 18 times a year.

A number people asked about it, so I took some pictures during the grand “unboxing.” I thought I’d share the pictures, along with my initial observations.įirst, some background: this is a small portable computer. I mentioned on Twitter that I’d just bought one. This is a brand new model that HP just started to ship. It’s one of those new “netbook” computers, so called because they are small and compact, and designed in large part for surfing the ‘Net and using cloud applications - although they are capable of much more. Of course, if you can afford it, it's hard to beat the Samsung Galaxy Note series when it comes to modern micro-computing.Earlier this week I got my new HP 2140 Mini computer. Also on the horizon is the TopJoy Falcon, which is designed for easier typing, and should fall into the middle of the price range. The One Mix 7 has an impressive fit and finish, and you should keep an eye out for its successor, the One Mix 2 (and 2S), which should hit the market in just the next few months.

The GPD Pocket 2 is a crowd favorite in fact, it was actually crowd-funded. Ooh boy, these are fun! Even the smallest laptops and 2-in-1s are bigger than these, while tablets of this size are sometimes underpowered and lack a built-in keyboard.

Using an ad hoc wireless connection, Dex lets you connect your smartphone to a Wi-Fi-connected TV or other display, as well as a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, for a full-featured Android-based computing experience. Keep an eye out for the OneGx1 Pro, though, which should be equipped with Intel's top integrated GPU.įinally, the Samsung S20 Ultra and famous Samsung Galazy Fold Z are both certified for use with the Samsung Dex system. Our only issue with these is that despite their high cost, they have subpar GPUs, so they're not great for demanding games.

If you are okay with spending a little more on a mini laptop, the One Netbook One Mix 3 Pro and One Netbook OneGx1 are worth a look. The One Netbook One Mix 1S isn't very new, but it's about as small as they get, and in this form factor, there's really only so much performance you can expect without making a huge investment. Thankfully, though, they're not the only ones making these handy devices. Rounding out GPD's impressive lineup are the GPD Win 2, which has a built-in game controller, and the GPD MicroPC, which has a host of ports and a durable construction both ideal for use in professional installations or even in the field.

The GPD Pocket 2 and its upgraded relative, the GPD P2 Max, aren't quite as fast as the Win Max, but as long as you're not playing 3D games, they're actually reasonably capable. In fact, it's just about the only one out there right now that can play any big-name, high-intensity titles from the last decade such as GTA V. The GPD Win Max is their latest and greatest offering, and it actually does a surprisingly good job at playing games for something its size. There's one company that you'll see mentioned a few times, and over the last couple years, they've done a lot more in this specialized space than just about anybody.

These are some interesting little machines that fill a pretty specific niche between laptops and tablets.
