The Netbook – A new kind of computer
I was recently impressed again by a netbook. I helped out a guy today with getting his wireless card setup to connect to a wireless network on his netbook, and I was blown away by how sweet the size was.
I’m a techie guy who uses the computer all of the time, and I’ve always loved small laptops. Especially now that I’m out of college, and the only times I need a computer is when I’m out traveling, I don’t really want a big laptop. I’ve got a desktop and I don’t really need that kind of power when I’m out, especially with the price tag typically associated with a really fast laptop. So I think I’m ready to go with a low-power and cheaper netbook for this next time around.
Pricegrabber.com has them from $250-$450 for a decent little netbook. Check them out. They aren’t a desktop replacement, but for light, mobile computing, and full web access over wifi on the go, they are hard to beat.
Wonderful article, thanks. Can you clarify the third point in more detail please?
