You can easily connect them to your TV to play games and watch movies either via a platform like Netflix or through your own media server, with the effectively set acting as a monitor. I didn’t find myself reaching over the left to use the mouse buttons that often as the touchpad’s built-in gestures were decent enough. Since writing this review a major battery issue has been reported on Reddit and IndieGoGo that affects many owners (myself included). Available with Intel Celeron or Core i3 power, the fanless Nano IoT is as silent as the grave, making it an ideal living-room streaming device or public kiosk PC.

Due to the small surface area of the built-in multi-touch touchpad and the positioning of the mouse buttons on the upper left, you’ll want to add a bluetooth game controller or an external mouse for more precise input. The Beelink U59 is easily one of the better NUC-sized machines we’ve seen, and it’s cheap enough for even the tightest budgets. Given their smaller sizes, mini laptops just don't deliver a battery life as long as full-sized models are capable of. In addition, Intel chips ending in "H" are a higher-powered grade of mobile processor, occupying the middle ground between the mainstream mobile chips and all-out socketed desktop chips.My co-editor and I have tested a number of the laptops on this list, but as for the ones we haven't used ourselves, they have been vetted by industry experts across publications like The Verge, CNET, PC Mag, and Laptop Mag. One boasts up to a Core i7 CPU and other high-end components, but its constantly spinning cooling fan may annoy you. When I first heard about the GPD Micro PC, the 6-inch laptop crowdfunded into reality earlier this year, my overriding impression was one of confusion. Meanwhile, another French team developed the Alvan, a small computer for office automation which found clients in banks and other sectors. This is the “minimum” amount of memory I’d expect in 2019, but also the “maximum” amount of memory that this SoC supports — and in this form factor, with the kinds of tasks that will be asked for it, it’s ample.

They also come with a range of tech specs, with options for everyday computing tasks right up to high-powered gaming laptops.

It’s important to remember that this device is pitched as a serious computer and not a novelty (like, arguably, the mini-Macbook that is the Pocket 2 is). The processor platform is the same as Intel put in the NUC 13 Pro, providing this system with good performance for a machine with a mobile CPU and integrated GPU. On paper the GPD Micro PC specs — which should listed in an info box floating around this article somewhere — do not sound make it sound like a screamer.
