Toshiba Mini NB205-N310/BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life
Netbook Computers
Netbook (nettop, psion, mini notebook/laptop or subnotebook) - a small, light, low-power notebook computer that is designed basically for web browsing. It has less processing power than a full-sized laptop but is still suitable for word processing, running a Web browser and connecting wirelessly to the Internet.
Netbooks fall into a category of small sized computers. Such computers have been known by names like subnotebook, ultra-portable, mini-notebook, nettop, cloudbook and ultra-mobile PC. The name netbook is currently the most popular marketing buzzword. Typically, a netbook will have a slimmed-down operating system, a smaller keyboard, a smaller screen and smaller storage space.
Originally netbook was created to target education market or consumers who might want a second computer, netbooks are gaining a broader consumer base now that budgets are tight and consumers around the world are starting to feel comfortable using applications and media in the cloud.
Software - generally any netbook will have to run any software that its operating system supports. The hardware architecture is similar to his bigger brother laptop and of course personal computer, it is easy to port the major, contemporary operating systems to the netbook.
Operating system - since January 2009, most of netbooks comes with preinstalled Windows XP. Microsoft has extended the availability of Windows XP for ultra-low cost personal computers from June 2008 until June 2010, possibly to keep netbooks from gaining market share at the expense of desktops and “value” laptops and to avoid increased use of Linux installations on netbooks.
Other half of netbook operating system now takes only 10% of previous market. As of January 2009, Linux is the second most popular operating system after Windows. As Linux systems normally install software from an Internet software repository, they do not need an optical drive to install software. However, early netbooks like the ASUS Eee PC failed to use this benefit by disabling access to the full range of available Linux software.
