Netbooks

Actual Size?

  • What? Small laptops that fall into the Netbook category because of their size, power, price and battery life.
  • Where? You can find them at Target! But the best deals will be found at online retailers like www.newegg.com
  • How Much? They range in price from $250-$650.
  • Why is it cool? Netbooks are especially cool because they offer laptop style computing for an affordable price. They are perfect for the college/high school student, have exceptional battery life, and are fairly cheap. Since the most common task that we perform on the computer revolves around email, the internet, and other easy to run programs, the netbook line of laptops are the perfect toy/gift/tool for everyone. The average weight is 3lbs making them lite and mobile, the price is comfortable, and they come in a variety of operating system flavors, from XP and Vista to Linux.
  • Negatives? While a netbook can handle 99% of your daily tasks, don't expect to play any extensive games or use Photoshop.
  • Bottom Line? Netbooks like the EEE PC and Dell Mini 9 are affordable mobile machines. The question here isnt "why get one?". The question here is "why don't you already have one?".
