I love Netbooks. A netbook is a small portable laptop computer designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet. This new type of PC can change the whole concept of what is a mobile PC. Unlike previous mobile PCs, this new breed carries relatively in-expensive price tags (ranging from A$500-1000) and that is why it has appealed to so many people. In fact, netbooks have started to take market share away from Laptops. I believe that this trend will continue, given the current global economic slowdown. Netbooks typically run on Windows XP operating system rather than more resource-intensive operating systems like Windows Vista. This has many advantages. Firstly, it does not need a cutting edge but un-necessary expensive processor to operate its Operating System. Secondly, the software distributor Microsoft offers much less purchase price for Windows XP. These advantages, as it turns out, all come back to one point again. In-expensive PCs.
Some tips to buy Netbooks.
It is important to consider thoroughly what you require the most in your Netbook other than price. Is that lightness or compactness or durability or wider keyboard or wider screen or more disc space, or longer battery life? Some models have started to accommodate such customers' requests as many as possible. However, you must make your own judgement, as it is simply hard to have everything in your PC. Therefore, my love with Netbooks will continue for good...

This is an interesting fact about your love of netbooks. Some of my family also now have netbooks.
I feel people who have netbooks already have a bit of a passion for computers anyway.
I very much enjoy now having a desktop again, even though it is an AppleMac and a little different - although I still use my notebook.
I sometimes think I would have fun with a netbook (although at times it would frustrate me because it is small and I would be a little limited for the types of things that I like to do).
Hmm, I think I am turning into a bit of a gadget/computer addict. This is partly because of a young chap I worked with who told me all sorts of fascinating things about computers and gadgets and taught me some worthwhile programs etc.
This might have been you Yasu?
Hullo, Peta.
Thanks for your comment. I am glad to know that you are becoming like me about new gadgets.
You don't have to give up a netbook yet. It is true that 1st generation of netbooks are relatively small in size (in most cases, too small keyboard to type), heavier, short battery life.
However, what you are going to see in a couple of months time are new breeds which have much wider keyboard (almost same as that of notebook), longer battery life (8 hours or more), bigger storage, much lighter (1kg).
You can brag about your new gadget to your friends. Just imagine yourself using a netbook in front of your friends for your photo album presentation! They will admire you. (or is this just my imagination?)
Hi Yasu
Yes, I had a little giggle at your reply to my comment.
It is crazy but one part of me thinks, yes I will buy one later - really I do not have enough time to take on anything else
I am sitting here at my large screen Apple Mac, with my Toshiba notebook turned on next to me so I can work on a few things which the Mac does not do - am I then intending to hold a Netbook on my knee and do something different yet again, all at the same time?
It is probably time to stop trying to catch up to technology!
Hullo, Peta.
I am happy to know that you have not ruled out the possibility of buying a netbook. I wouldn't mind a grandma who juggle several computers. I think "that's cool."
