I'm currently using a regular sized Toshiba L300. (I won it in a writing competetion :D)
It's been perfectly fine for me, on all fronts other than gaming. Although that's really due to it's Graphics card.
The only other problem I have, (Which would be for myself only, really) is that it seems to use up it's memory very fast.
Now I don't know if I'm just downloading random crap all the time, or am 'over-saving' what little working games I have, but it fills up much faster than it probably should do. I spend an age going over what files are needed and what aren't, then deleting the crap ones, it tends to drop it a couple of gigs, but just a few days later and that annoying "Toshiba Tempro Alert" pops up; "In the last several days your computers memory storage has reached over 75%"
So, I end up scouring all the crap again, to find barely any difference. OH well.
(Note, my laptop only has 74.3GB of space at max, so that MiniLaptop is making me damned envious right now)
(Double Note, I don't necesarilly know all the exact terms for us talking about computers, nor the complete know-how on how to check the majority of it, so pardon me if that's a bit... wrong-sounding)
