Help with finding a certain computer?

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Hi,
Are there any mini computers around 10 inches or netbooks 10 inches that you can put dvds in? Please 600 dollars and under. If there is not any like that can you find me a cheap 10 inch netbook or mini computers and a portable dvd player. Dvd player and mini computer/netbook should equal only 800 together.

I’d like to download pictures onto my computer, so I can view and print pictures. It won’t let me get to that point. I have the camcorder hooked up correctly. It won’t show the pictures.

Anyone got advice for assembling a mini computer, battery operated, ethernet, 4 inch screen, windows xp etc?

What I want is a portable computer, not a notebook on which I would like to develop applications. It should be hand carried, have an approximate 4 inch screen, be battery operated (and AC), run at least a 400MHZ CPU, have an ethernet port, at least 3 USB ports (mouse,keyboard,one other), must run windows XP. Also it should cost about half or less than the price of a notebook (Dell for example).

If anyone knows of a company which produces such a system or where to start (self learning kits or websites which sell the parts?) I would be ever so grateful.

I only really want to use it for Itunes but I want it to be portable so I thought the most cost effective option would be to buy the cheaper 0 "mini computers". Is this the way to go?

Why do people still use the term "lap-top" for mini portable computers?

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

The "lap-top" computer has not been manufactured for a couple decades, yet people still call the Electronic Notebook or "notebook" mini portable computer a "lap top". Why do people use such baby talk when they do not call a car a "Model T" any more?

The "lap-top" computer was the size of a brief case, was very heavy and had old 1980s technology. It was famous for its high heat, some even setting card tables on fire and burning the legs of its users. The interim version that replaced the lap-top in the early 1990s never had a name, but the Electronic Notebook that replaced both in the mid-to-late 1990s was always and to this day is called an Electronic Notebook or simply, "notebook". The lap-top computer’s lifespan was only about 7 to 10 years, so there are none around which function, and I have not seen a lap-top since 1997!

This is as bad as people calling the number zero "oh"; if you use a voice dialer to Washington D.C. saying "area code two-oh-two", that is really 2-6-2!
