Basic Info On Netbooks
Mini notebooks are gaining popularity everyday but it’s always amazing to me how many people still haven’t used or even heard about them yet. They’re perfect for that on the go person who needs a light, portable computer. Part of what makes them so attractive is the price which is do to the processor choice. The Atom processor has really helped propel the mini notebook into mainstream life. The Atom processor helps provide great battery life by not being very power hungry and also is an economical alternative to some of the more expensive processor choices on the market.
Mini notebooks, which are known mostly for their size and affordability do have a few downsides. One that a lot of people have been talking about lately is the back of a CD-ROM drive which can be a problem for some. Not to worry as that can be easily remedied with an external drive which can be purchased for around $25. The other way that these netbooks can be made for so cheap is the hardware that’s inside. It’s great hardware, but doesn’t compare to a full sized notebook you might find at the local electronics store. For all the normal tasks people use laptops for though, this should fit the bill nicely and be a great computer.
The leading companies that currently have netbooks on the market are doing a great job or producing models that have not only great style, but also increased performance. Apple however has remained quiet about netbooks and even criticized them from time to time. Their latest creation the iPad seems to be their answer to most companies netbooks.
When comparing the netbooks from only a year ago to the current models that are available at local stores like Best Buy, it’s amazing to see the gap in technology and design used to make each model. Models used to only come with 7 inch screen’s and now almost all models come with 10 inch screens. With the increased screen size has also come an increase in keyboard size which people have opened with welcome arms. The mini notebooks from only a year ago had trouble playing HD video, but the newer models do a great job at this which was another very welcomed featured from a lot of people. Other small improvements have been made to almost every area of the mini notebook including battery life, durability, and overall performance.
