Netbooks are rapidly evolving and they are usually marketed as companion devices. The original netbook was the Asus Eee PC 7 inch model which lead to 9 inches and now the most popular 10 inch screen model. This new netbook is growing in demand because they are cheaper , weighs less, and more portable. The netbooks don’t compete with desktops when it comes to memory, battery life, and power. Some individuals aren’t worried about these qualities making the netbook very appealing.
“Ultrathins” are Intel’s new line of PC’s that offer more powerful processors than netbooks. “The argument is that these new PCs really provide a "full PC" experience whereas netbooks don't.” Then there is the new netbook called Acer Aspire One 11.6 inch which are a great match for people on the road. They are less than 3 lbs, fit conveniently on an airplane tray, take advantage of multi task gestures, and is rated 8.5 on battery life. So what will people give up are they going to go with the new netbooks or powerful PC’s.

What I worry about is how easily those things will snap in half if one isn't careful with them.
ReplyDeleteThere was a netbook for only $30 at Verizon Wireless for black friday! That is soooo cheap, and the orginal price was only $100. The good thing is that with more technology that comes out, the cheaper it is getting!
ReplyDeleteI think it really depends on a person's individual preference and how much money they are willing to spend on a particular product.
