3 recommended laptop models around 11 inches that are convenient to carry

As the number of companies introducing telework has increased, many people are probably looking for laptops that are easy to carry at home and at work.

So this time, we will introduce recommended laptops equipped with a compact display of around 11 inches, which is relatively compact and ideal for carrying around.

How big is an 11-inch laptop display?

"Inches" in laptops refers to the diagonal length of the display. Since 11 inches is 27.94 cm, an 11-inch laptop is a laptop with a display with a diagonal of 27.94 cm.

In terms of copy paper, A5 size of 14.8 cm x 21.0 cm/25.7 cm diagonal is roughly 11 inches. The A5 size is a standard that is often used for notebooks, etc., and is smaller than the B5 size of a general notebook, so it is quite compact as a laptop computer. It has a size that is superior to portability.

First, I would like to introduce Lenovo's laptop "IdeaPad Flex 360 Chromebook" with a 11.6-inch display. It is a product equipped with "Chrome OS", which has been attracting attention in recent years.

As the name suggests, the compact display is designed to rotate 360 ​​degrees and can be touch operated like a tablet. The mass is about 1.2 kg, and the body size is about 285 mm x about 202.7 mm x about 17.45 mm, which is a size that can be carried around.

The memory is 4GB and the storage is 32GB/64GB, which is a modest configuration, but you can expect some operability by installing Chrome OS. The CPU uses the MediaTek MT8183 processor.

Battery duration is a characteristic. The main unit alone lasts about 16.0 hours, so you don't have to worry about running out of battery while using it outdoors. It is also a point that charging takes about 1.5 hours and a short time.

The selling price is from 52,580 yen on the official website. When applying the E coupon, it can be purchased for 43,641 yen.

From the well-known Microsoft series, "Surface Go 2" is also recommended. The display is 10.5 inches and supports touch operation, so it is a 2in1 product that can be used like a tablet.

The main unit weighs from 544g and is fairly lightweight, and the size is compact at 245mm x 175mm x 8.3mm, so it will be comfortable to carry. It is also possible to select an LTE model, so it is also recommended for people who often use it outdoors.

The OS is Windows 10 Home, so if you attach the optional type cover, you can use it like a computer that many people have used so far.

The selling price on the official website starts at 65,780 yen. You can customize the memory capacity and storage capacity to your liking, so choose the configuration that suits your usage.

The compact laptop "ASUS Chromebook Detachable CM3" with Chrome OS is also recommended. The display size is 10.5 inches, the mass is about 506 g for the main body only, and the size is 255.44 mm x 167.2 mm x 7.9 mm.

This product can be folded like a book and carried while the attached type cover is attached to the display. The "Flex Angle Stand Cover", which also serves as a display stand, can be placed vertically, making it ideal for displaying PDF files.

In addition, although it is a compact product, it is also a point that a dedicated stylus is built in. I have the impression that it has a wide range of uses, such as taking small notes during a meeting.

The selling price on the official website is 44,980 yen for the 64GB storage model and 50,800 yen for the 128GB storage model.
