Well, the title says it all.. everything on this blog is about netbook. Welcome to the NetBook Portal!
About NetBook
Netbook is a term that we hear frequently in today's laptop industry. If you do not know what a netbook is, Wikipedia is always the best resource to find out the answer:
"The term netbook was re-introduced by Intel in February 2008 to describe a category of small-sized, low-cost, light weight, lean function subnotebooks optimized for Internet access and core computing functions (e.g., word processing) — either directly from applications installed on the netbook itself or indirectly, via cloud computing. More than 50 million Netbooks are expected to be in widespread circulation by 2011. Netbooks (or sub-notebooks as they may be known) typically come with an 7-inch to 10-inch screen."
Even with this definition, one could still easily confuse netbook with other closely related terms such as UMPC, Subnotebook, etc.. Not to worry.. Gizmodo clears this up pretty well for us. Here's a good writeup from them about the difference between Netbook, UMPC and Subnotebook.
In a nutshell, a netbook carry the following characteristics:
* Small-sized (10.2-inch or lower screen size)
* Low cost (typically under $600)
* Mainly used for Internet surfing, word-processing, and other non-CPU extensive task.
