Site Error - Cache
May 6, 2006
Sometime yesterday, the software that caches the site (and speeds things up) got hung up on a file, and so the site was looking very weird. It’s fixed. Sorry if it inconvenienced anybody.
Site News: April 14th
April 14, 2006
I will be unable to update the site for a few days, however I have a lot of information as well as two personal reviews that I will be posting sometime sunday or monday, with the normal return to daily news starting monday, April 17th.
Have a good weekend
Want a Uniquely Colored Dell 710M or 12″ iBook or PowerBook?
April 7, 2006
Would you like a Dell 710M or perhaps a 12-inch iBook or 12-inch PowerBook in different colors? Last month, Colorware started offering their services for Dell’s 710M 12-inch ultraportable notebooks. You can get different high-gloss colored coatings for your notebook case (including the recently added color “Cotton Candy Pink” ???) from Colorware, as well as customized corporate logos/photos.
You can view their full lineup as well as examples of the various colors here.

FYI: Site Update
March 7, 2006
I’m going to be helping somebody migrate to a new website site today and possibly tomorrow, so news will be slow, but I’ll post anything I missed today and tomorrow wednesday night or thursday morning.
The site in question is going to be a pseudo-partner site to this website - there is a slight bit of overlap, but not much, and I think it might be of interest to Small-Laptop.com users.
Quick Note - RSS Feeds and Feedburner
March 2, 2006
Just a quick note - I’m redirecting the RSS Feeds through Feedburner at the request of a few people - it should provide more RSS options for those who read Small Laptops through RSS readers. It should work automatically with no changes on your part, but if you have any problems, please contact me.
Site Changes: Site, Laptop List (Feb 26)
February 27, 2006
Because I’m in the process of adding a lot of laptops to the site, the navigation list was getting quite large, and slowing things down. As a result, this weekend I’ve cleaned up the site interface a bit, moving the large laptop list onto its own page. In its place I have created three categories on the front page:
Just Announced - Laptops that have just been announced or just started shipping.
Recently Added - Laptops recently added to the database - this may not necessarily be “new” laptops, as I’m constantly adding older/discontinued models.
Weekly Most Popular - Most popular laptops from the previous week, based on page views/searches.
Laptop List
Having moved the laptop list away from the side navigation, it now resides on its own page, the Ultraportable/Small Laptop List. It’s organized into two columns - one is by display size, the other by manufacturer. Both show the same laptops, just organized differently.
Overall, this should speed up the site considerably, especially if you are on dial-up, as not only have page sizes been reduced, but the number of database queries has been lowered as well (which will benefit everybody).
