Netbooks meet the need of a consumer who is primarily looking to use the computer for internet connectivity, web browsing, email/chat communication, and creating and sharing documents. They are designed using less powerful processors which cost less and are also energy efficient. The screens of Netbooks are also smaller – usually range between 10-12 inch. The keyboards omit num-pad to keep the size small. They usually don’t have a CD/DVD drive but you can always plug an external drive. They are designed for extreme portability. They are blade thin and weigh very less. That’s what makes netbooks so attractive.

You can buy a netbook by spending just $200.  So, why should small be not beautiful? And you have so many options to choose from viz. ASUS Eee PC, Acer Aspire One, Dell Mini, and Sony Vaio. Netbooks have made computing accessible to more people. Those who thought it was impossible to dream of owning a laptop can today comfortably afford a netbook.
