The Convenience of Netbook Computers

A netbook is merely a type of laptop that is manufactured to be smaller than normal. Even though they do the same thing though, you might want to consider retiring your old laptop and looking into choosing between some new netbook computers.

The beauty of these netbooks is that they are sleek and small and will fit any occasion. Even a laptop that runs on the small side can be pretty large when you put it in your backpack, and if you’re a lady that likes her purses, then you can forget about trying to fit a laptop into one of those because that’s never going to happen. Even if somehow you owned a purse that was big enough, the pressure on your shoulder would give you scoliosis if you tried walking around with it like that all day. This is where netbook computers come in.

They are small enough that they can almost fit in your pocket if you have big enough jeans, and they can handle all of the standard tasks you might use another computer for such as browsing the internet or playing music or typing up word documents or making powerpoints. They are good for the average businessmen and perfect for writers that want to upgrade from pencil and paper but don’t want to break the bank on a more expensive laptop.

This brings me to my next, probably most important point. They are very cheap! You can get a small fully capable netbook for the same price it would cost you to upgrade the processor on your old laptop, and who wants to do that when you can just get a stylish new one? Of course they all come with drawbacks.

Netbook computers do have to sacrifice some computing power in order to maintain the small size and relative usefulness, but the good thing is this is merely computing power, not memory space or anything like that. The processors on netbook computers may be slower, meaning you won’t be able to play the latest edition of World of Warcraft on them but you will still be able to watch videos, listen to music, and type up documents, you just won’t be able to do them all at the same time. But let’s be honest with ourselves here, and users of apple computers are especially bad in regards to this, but if you’re sitting there typing a document, why would you need to be watching a movie in the corner? It will only distract you from your document at hand and make the work take twice as long and you won’t get anything out of the movie. If anything, netbook computers will help you focus more on the task you have at hand, making them excellent for college students.

And because of the cheap price you won’t even need to pawn your old computer to afford it, just save a little money here and there and you’ll be able to get a netbook that will do the same thing as your main computer in no time. Of course you need to put up with slower processing speed but that is a small price to pay for the ultimate convenience and I promise you your netbook will be your best friend in no time, especially if you stick to apple computers.
