Do People Really Care About the Size of a Laptop?
The question in mobile computing has become, “Does computer portability really matter or is it more important to have an all powerful computer that allows you to fit all your software and save as many projects as will fit on your productivity machine?” Another point here may be whether the small sizes are more concerning or if the light-weight portability is the focal concern. I think the availability of different types of computers now lets us really personalize our business machines into something that works for us and doesn’t have to be generic for all.
The release of the brand new macbookair by Apple has really given us a choice with the size and weight and what kind of laptop computer we lug around with us on our way to work. At less than 3 pounds and thinner than a picture frame, we don’t have to strain our shoulders every time we walk to work. It has a 13 inch wide-screen and a normal keyboard. Tell me where I can get it today! This is the very attribute I have been after.
When I first previewed the advertisement for the MacBook Air with a slim, easy to carry computer coming out of that little envelope, small envelope, I was just stunned. Now, that’s what I’ve been searching for. Now it doesn’t have to be a major undertaking to take my laptop with me any longer! No extra bag that can weigh likely as much as the portable computer, no more sweating, no longer taking up all that extra room! What a momentous occasion!
The never ending question of whether size really matters is here now and my answer, when it comes to a tiny laptop is a resounding, “yes, Yes, YES!” Size does matter as does weight. For me and my mobile computer smaller is as good as it gets.
