The Mini-note is HP’s answer to the EeePC. Unlike various other models on the market, this small, portable laptop is sturdy enough to survive your long and stressful tube journeys whilst being classy enough to pull out in front of a prospective client.

On opening up the mini computer, you’ll be surprised to notice that the keyboard is about 92 per cent full size, allowing sufficient typing space for not-so-nimble fingers. The 8.9 inch scratch resistant screen and internal magnesium alloy structure provides more protection than the Asus and amazingly this mini computer holds a lot more memory than most of the sponge-like mini computers on the market.

The 120GB hard drive space is welcomed whether it’s for all your important business documents or the latest episode of Lost! In addition to such great features, the connectivity is also adequate as the WiFi, Ethernet and optional Bluetooth sit alongside two USB ports and an SD card slot. The only worry we have is that the Mini-note does not possess the latest Intel Atom processor which may make things difficult when dealing with more challenging applications.

Although the shiny exterior and sexy elegance of this piece suggests that this is a simple home ornament to fit into any
bachelor pad, it is in fact Apple’s new Wi-Fi back-up drive – The Time Capsule.

It is designed to work coherently with the Time Machine application to store a complete day-to day history of all applications, videos and documents that you
may want to back up.

The 500GB storage allows you to store everything you want with space left over for more. Fair
dues, you may be thinking it’s just another external hard drive but this capsule’s built in Wi-Fe means you can wirelessly
back up your Macs whilst sharing internet connections. Its only downfall if any is that it doesn’t have a built-in modem,
stopping it from being an all in one device.

If you haven’t got your fingers
around fiddling with a smartphone when travelling between meetings and want to reduce downtime whilst you are on the move then Vodafones 7.2 USB stick could be the answer.

The small, lightweight stick easily plugs straight into your laptop to give you complete internet access without the hassle of stopping to find a Wi-Fi hotspot. The download speed is up to 7.2Mbps which is dependent on the 3G network availability.

The 3G network is limited to urban areas so it may be difficult when trying to connect
whilst in the rural areas. There is also no need to worry about any additional charges as this dinky number comes with a 24-month flat rate contract of £25 per month.

It is compatible with Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. This is a travelling businessman’s heaven as it is so easy to use, installing the stick only takes a short time, an installation CD and some easy to follow on screen tips.
