Lots of traction currently in the market regarding the emergence of netbooks as a lower charge substitute for much more traditional fully featured notebooks. Netbooks really are a form of basic machine, primarily optimized for e mail and world wide web browsing. Smaller size, decrease efficiency. I don’t recommend that you try to beat Kasparov with one of these. This is how PC World describes the category.
Netbooks (aka mini-notebooks, mini-notes or “laptots”) are perfect travel companions and meet standard computing needs,

Lenovo already sells a very successful IdeaPad netbook called the S10. The product runs on the popular Intel Atom processor weighing in at 2.65 pounds and is about an inch thin.

It’s very important to remember that when we are done, these “laptots” are not intended to be the functionality rival of your newly purchased W700. Different user scenario, different product. If the netbook overall performance and usability compromises don’t interest you,

I would love to get your thoughts on this topic. Thanks.
