Netbook/Portable laptops
HI FUKS
So I want to buy a small netbook. Something really portable, and which doesn't weigh a fucking ton.
Need it for mails, document creation, that kind of thing. Not for games. Need a decent battery life on it.
There's a lot out there, some real sexy looking things, I just don't know what I want.
HELP PLZ.

Re: Netbook/Portable laptops
Netbooks are a category of small, lightweight, legacy-free, and inexpensive laptop computers.
At their inception in late 2007 [1] as smaller notebooks optimized for low weight and low cost[2] — netbooks omitted certain features (e.g., the optical drive), featured smaller screens and keyboards, and offered reduced computing power when compared to a full-sized laptop. Over the course of their evolution, netbooks have ranged in size from below 5" screen diagonal[3] to 12".[4] A typical weight is 1 kg (2–3 pounds). Often significantly less expensive than other laptops,[5] by mid-2009, some wireless data carriers began to offer netbooks to users "free of charge", with an extended service contract purchase.[6]
In the short period since their appearance, netbooks have grown in size and features, now converging with new smaller, lighter notebooks and subnotebooks. By August 2009, when comparing a Dell netbook to a Dell notebook, CNET called netbooks "nothing more than smaller, cheaper notebooks," noting, "the specs are so similar that the average shopper would likely be confused as to why one is better than the other," and "the only conclusion is that there really is no distinction between the devices."[7] Initially offered with compact versions of Linux or Windows XP, netbooks now typically use Windows 7 Starter which Microsoft sells at a lower price but restricts to lower spec hardware.[citation needed]
