Laptops have become the personal secretary for most professionals and students and most of us want to have the best. The saying is that “ The best products comes from best producers ”.  

If companies are going to stand out in the market they need to produce quality products and only if they produce products of high quality can they withstand the competitive environment and sustain their presence at the top.

There are many laptop producers (small and big), but the ones surviving in this market are the ones whose customers trust in their products and companies. TOSHIBA, APPLE, HP, ASUS, LENOVA, DELL, SONY and ACER  are some of the best Laptop producers in the market today and have gained that trust through their quality.

As far as who makes the best laptop that’s hard to pin down. The  Apple MacBook Pro is a great laptop but it is quite expensive at around $1200. ASUS has the Eee PC series which are awesome but if you are looking for a full size laptop they don’t fit the bill. Toshiba has perhaps the best balance of quality, features and price with their Satellite series.

My wife Pat has a Toshiba Satellite and I have a Compaq Presario which is made by HP. We like them both and have had no problems with either of them.

As with many things when dealing with “the best” if you ask 5 people the question “Who makes the best laptop?” you will probably get 5 different answers. All of the brands above make quality computers so you will just have to decide for yourself which one YOU think is the best.

It seems that these days the distinction between laptop and netbook no longer exists. If you don’t know the difference is basically that a laptop or notebook has a CD or DVD drive and a netbook dose not. Today though everything is being called a laptop.

Having said that the smallest laptop is made by UMID and is called the mbook. It has a 4.8 inch touchscreen with 1024 x 600 resolution, 1.1GHz or 1.3GHz Intel Atom processor and 1GB of memory, but the Flash-based storage provided ranges between 8GB and 32GB.

It also has Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, 3G and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. With a Mini-USB 2.0, Micro SD slot and Mobile sim-card slot it’s versatile as well. The battery life is an impressive 6 hours.

Here’s a video from Youtube on the UMID mbook:

There are other laptop/netbooks out there that are a little larger but still small enough to be ultra portable and easier to use and view. Asus makes several with 7″ screens, the Sony VAIO Lifestyle series has an 8″ screen and Acer, HP and ASUS all have several models with 8.9″ screens.

There you have it the UMID mbook is the smallest laptop made today although it probably is not the best if you are looking for an ultra small laptop.
