Will You Get a Netbook?

What is a “Netbook“? According to Wikipedia, netbooks are:

Netbooks (sometimes referred to as mini notebooks or subnotebooks) are a rapidly evolving category of small, light and inexpensive laptop computers suited for general computing and accessing web-based applications; they are often marketed as “companion devices,” that is, to augment a user’s other computer access. Walt Mossberg called them a “relatively new category of small, light, minimalist and cheap laptops.” By August 2009, CNET called netbooks “nothing more than smaller, cheaper notebooks.”

Recently, there are so many choice for you to choose, from Acer, Asus, HP, Toshiba, BenQ to many others.

They are really small in size, but how reliable can they be? If you ask me which brand will I choose, I will choose Toshiba because of its design.

This definitely suit girls. Pink, light and cute. If getting a netbook is necessary, I would love to get this!

It comes in different color too. Brown looks good too.

Functionality wise, I think for now, most netbooks are more or less the same.

What I like most about Toshiba’s netbook is the design of the on/off button. Simply splendid.

Which brand is more reliable? It’s actually a hard question. But base on my experience, I receive (for warranty claim) more Acer and Asus netbook compare to the other brands. Probably because they have better sales? BenQ is also another patient in the list.

Although base on most netbooks definition, it is said that netbooks are inexpensive, I still think it’s expensive for us living in Malaysia, especially my hometown. The price range is still above 1000 Malaysia Ringgit. Will you pay 1k++ for a piece of small notebook which, in most of the case, carries only one year warranty? They are fragile!

Will you buy a netbook? If yes, what is the specification you will want for a netbook?
