Netbooks are primarily used to stay connected to the Web while you are on the go.

It is used for surfing the web, chatting, and shopping online. The main purpose of a Netbook is to offer a cost effective way to stay connected to the Internet. It is made for those that use the Internet for finding information but not so much for people that create a lot of data.

Most offer full screen viewing with super-bright LCD screens that provide you with a crisp, clean picture. The battery life varies depending on the model but some offer Ultra Long battery life that enables you to surf the web for up to 8 hours on a single charge.

Some netbooks weigh as little as 2.9 lbs. for easy transportation. No more lugging around a heavy laptop. It’s the perfect size and weight to take it along with you whether you are going on a business trip or are just wondering around the house.

The Keyboard is regular size so you can surf the web with speed and they boast a large memory so you won’t run out of storage room.

I found that the Netbook is the perfect alternative for my teenage son. He can look up what he needs to when he is doing his homework and chat with his friends when he’s not and I can still get on my computer when I need to. I was even able to buy one for under $450.

That’s what I call a win-win situation. He was happy and I was happy. The average laptop is $700+ which I feel is a lot of money especially when you are handing it over to a kid.

As long as you are not creating flow charts and things the netbook is great. For my business I still need a laptop but for kids to play on he internet it fits the bill just right.
