Netbook is a new type of laptop that is defined by weight, size, power and operating system.  It is lightweight, small, consumes less power and run on old or unfamiliar operating systems.

Netbooks typically weigh from 2 to 3 pounds, have 9- or 10- inch screens, and have keyboard size of at least 95% of the normal, standard keyboards.

Despite its weigh, size and structure, netbooks still have the standard components of a laptop:

  • 1024×600 screen resolution
  • WI-FI capability
  • Ethernet at 100 Mbps
  • Built-in camera
  • 2 or 3 USB ports

Netbooks have no optical drives.  Optical drives are not included to reduce size and cost.  Some netbooks do not include Bluetooth and latest version of Ethernet (Gigabit Ethernet).

But netbooks are still hot in the market because of its benefits stated below:

  • If you are the type of user who takes your computer either on a coffee shop or subway and don’t need a heavy, 17” notebook, then you can consider using netbook.  It offers portability to users on the go.
  • Netbooks run on low-powered processors. Newer ones make use of larger batteries and capable of 5 hours battery life.
  • Netbooks that run on Linux operating systems are very user friendly to new computer users because the interface is simplified.

Use netbooks if you want a small, lightweight and portable laptop.
