Laptops are mobile computers. This is their reason to be: portability. Until not very long ago, laptops were quite bulky, therefore they called for relatively big bags or briefcases. Over the past few years, as technology evolved, we now have those cute netbooks which are as slim as to fit in a regular tote bag. That’s what I like most at my Asus EEE PC: I can carry it around in my Coach laptop bag, but I can also put it in my Poppy metallic leather tote, so I can look feminine even when I go to business meetings. It’s much more fun than it was with those bigger laptops, without compromising on performance. Of course, that’s because I only use the netbook for browsing the internet and for presenting PowerPoint presentations. And you know what? My clients love to see me taking my laptop out of an elegant Coach bag, so our negotiations always start with a slight advantage on my side.
