Nearly every time I have to travel, well, anywhere with my portable laptop computer, I long for a netbook. Those who live the good life know that one way to do that is to keep things convenient, and netbooks are nothing if not convenient. Netbooks, also known as ultra portable laptops, are a class of micro-pcs that are designed to be half the weight, size, and cost of traditional laptops.
Sales for netbooks continue to rise, even in an economy that shows sales for almost everything else decreasing. In fact, some research predicts that 35 million mini-laptops will be produced this year, with-9 million mini-laptops being shipped worldwide annually by the year 2013. That's pretty incredible growth for a product that was developed in 2007!
A netbook is not simply a small version of the portable laptop you already own. Ultra portable laptops are made to focus on what most people spend the majority of time doing on their computers - surfing the internet, checking out pictures, and watching videos. A small amount of processing might be possible, as well, but they're certainly not for big projects.
You'll need to look elsewhere if you're looking for a sophisticated computer. The new netbooks are designed to make it easier for those who spend their life in transit - whether that transit time is for business or pleasure.
When compared to a regular portable laptop, netbooks are priced lower. The majority of decent netbooks will cost you around $500, though some are priced at half of that amount. Online services such as google docs and other similar programs allow users to deal with the lack of memory a netbook comes equipped with.
With a netbook, you can stay connected wherever there is a wireless network available, which makes them perfect for anyone whose life keeps them on the go. The smaller size and weight of a netbook make them easier to travel with than a standard-sized portable laptop.
Invest a little of your time, and make sure you do your homework before running off to buy a netbook. Certain brands offer different features, so it is important to know exactly what you want out of your machine.
Some brands are designed to be focused on photos and surfing the web, but can have trouble with HD videos. Some offer a different screen size, or a better quality screen, than other brands do.
Knowing exactly what your needs are before heading off to purchase one will make your choice much less overwhelming, and help ensure that you will fully enjoy your new ultra portable laptop. - 31403
