Netbook

The word netbook is portmanteau of the words “internet” and “notebook”.
In 2007, Asus unveiled the Asus Eee PC, which is considered as the first commercially available netbook. Since then, many computer companies followed and released their own versions of this mini laptop. For a short period of time, netbooks have taken quite a significant market share away from laptops. This is basically because it is low-cost but highly portable and efficient little laptops.
Almost all brands of netbooks have displays of 7- to 10-inch range and all are easy to tote around. Nearly all offers several USB ports, a webcam, LED backlit screens, integrated speakers, Wi-Fi and more, so there are very few differentiators. But the many choices in this nascent netbook market can overwhelm, so the following are some of the things you can consider before buying one for yourself:
1. Use: You must consider for what purpose you would most likely use your netbook. This will give you an ideal what specs you need.
2. Size: Well, if you have big fingers and poor eyesight, may a 7-inch netbook is not appropriate for you.
3. Weight: If love to carry around your netbook, weight will surely matter. An extra half pound of weight doesn’t seem like very much but when you add that to an already packed gear bag it can get awfully heavy by the end of a long day.
4. Battery life: Extended battery life means a heavier netbook. For people who will just their netbooks in their homes, battery life may not be a factor. But if your needs are more mobile, then it’s worth considering the battery life of your options.
