The advent of netbooks has changed the amount of choice that people looking for a new computer have available to them, according to an expert.
Payal Dhar, writing for MDigitalFC.com, said that the smaller netbooks give users an ultra-portable device which is primarily built for browsing and accessing web-based applications.
“Netbooks’ compact form (a ten-inch screen is common), lightweight bodies (no optical drive) make them easy enough to slip into a purse. If you intend to do lots of travelling where you need to fit into cramped spaces to work or have to travel light, a netbook is the answer to your prayers,” he added.
The expert also said that, armed with connectivity features such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, netbooks are customised for internet access, providing a great option for people who depend on cloud computing services like Google Docs.
Another known benefit of netbooks over their larger laptop cousins is that they often provide a longer battery life, making them ideal for use on the move.
