What is a netbook?

A product that we see more and more lately, and the use of which in 2009 will probably exponentially, a notebook. A notebook or mini laptop is also mentioned. In this article we will go in what is a notebook, the specifications and you should look at during purchase of a laptop or notebook. As we in the introduction to this article already written, a notebook is a mini laptop. A notebook is designed to be easily moved. Not only is it lighter than a normal laptop, it is also smaller than a regular laptop. Moreover, a notebook price technically also a lot cheaper. Where a laptop in many cases very powerful hardware, this is in a notebook is not required. It is in a notebook is not for the strong performance, but to take it easy so that also worked on it.

A notebook is mainly used to work when you are not home or office is. Activities covered are e-mail, word processing, spreadsheet preparation and internet. An important function of a netbook is the ability to connect to the Internet (Wifi / LAN). For major applications a notebook is clearly not suitable. There are few opportunities for additional software.

We will now focus on different parts of the notebook, which are substantially different from an ordinary laptop.

* The display. A normal laptop is usually a screen of 15 "to 19" inches. The display in a netbook is usually between 7 and 12 "inch.
* The weight. Where a regular laptop is a few pounds, the weight of a netbook always around 1 kilo. Easy to take so.
* Shockproof hard drive. A notebook is a different type of hard drive used, one more shock resistant than a normal hard drive.
* Alternating system. Ordinary laptops have mostly standard Windows installed, but notebooks, there is a greater variation in the windows operating systems which has came of the ages with Windows 7. Thus there is relatively more Linux installed.
* No CD / DVD player. There is no entry for CD-ROMs, CD's or DVD's in a notebook. Therefore, it is so often difficult to install additional software.

Probably the main point where you should look at buying a notebook is the battery life. As a netbook / mini laptop designed to take on and to make them work, it is important that the battery will last long. Because of relatively cheap hardware used in a notebook, and this also applies to batteries, there are many models on the market whose battery that is only 2 hours. It is important to advance this view, for you will regret.

Besides the battery life you can just look at the windows operating system of the notebook that you may want to buy. Few people have experience with Linux, and if you think this effort to go, you should opt for an alternative with another operating system.
