Netbook To Buy
Is there any reason I should not buy a Netbook now?
I have around $300 for a cheap netbook. Is there anything new coming to the world of netbooks in the near future that would make me want to wait a while before buying one?
Netbooks are very good for Internet BROWSING not so much for playing online. They are not that good for MS Office ( screen size, cramped keyboard ). They are the “pits” (not that good at all) for iTunes and similar multimedia apps as they are not built for it.
ALL the consumer-level Netbooks* have NO internal CD/DVD drives, NO upgrade path and the following MAXIMUM memory limits:
Linux based: 512 MBs
XP based: 1 GB (some RARE exceptions have 1.5 GBs)
* There are newer so-called high-end Netbooks that come with more but they are generally pricier than laptops.
Hard drives models average 80 GBs ( some have 160 GBs )
Other models use SSD** (Solid State Drive) with no moving parts ( good when you move a lot as they are more “solid” (pun intended) ) but these are smaller in GBs and higher in cost.
** This is “similar” to the way USB memory stick work.
Laptops can do much more, have bigger internal hard drives, bigger memory (RAM), a CD/DVD/BlueRay drive or burner and some provision for upgrade (more or less depending on manufacturer).
Some laptops are actually affordable for what they offer !
