Find Power and Mobility with a Netbook or Notebook Computer

By Henry Lahr

The laptop is considered as the portable and mobile version of personal computers. From time to time, various versions of these computers were developed along with varying features. But the latest version of laptops has captured a lot of interest lately in the industry and is called a netbook computer. Netbook computers are often referred to as low budget computers. When compared to the typical laptops, netbook computers are far cheaper with a price range starting at $230. They are also even smaller than notebooks which were the previous minute versions of a laptop.

Netbook computers usually have 9 to 10 inch screens and weigh only 2 to 3 pounds. Its keyboard size only makes up 80 to 95 percent of the normal one. However, these computers may not be that good for some heavy work as they are usually underpowered and operate on old operating systems.

One fine example of netbook computers is the Dell Mini Netbook Series. Included in the special line of products are the Dell Mini 9, 10, and 10v. The first model, the Mini 9 is so lightweight it weighs only 2.28 pounds and has a display monitor size of 8.9". Like any other netbook computers, Dell Mini 9 can run on either Windows XP or Ubuntu Linux operating system and even comes with a convenient wireless connection.

Another cool feature of Dell's Mini 9 is its optional external hard drive making it conveniently possible for users to watch movies anytime they want. With a starting price of $239 and with just a 1.07" thickness, the Dell Mini 9 proves to be the absolute companion for people who always find themselves busy.

Dell's Mini 10v on the other hand comes with a 10.1" display monitor weighing only 2.5 pounds. Regardless of its size, this mini netbook is bound to surprise every owner with all its fun and exciting features. Its' advanced wireless options helps you stay connected without the hassles of a cord. It also comes with a built-in GPS to help you make a professional navigation wherever you are in the world. Starting at $299, you just can't go wrong with this netbook.

The main essence of netbook computers is to provide individuals with computers that are compact, lightweight, and cheap without compromising the basic functions needed from a personal computer. The main problem with laptops is that some models are quite expensive which are often unreasonable for a lot of people. However, the main downside of netbook computers is that they have fewer ports and features compared to the typical laptop. They also perform with relatively less power, which makes them unable to perform complex functions like video editing and video presentations.

A notebook usually weighs an average of 6 pounds or less which makes it the perfect companion anywhere you go. It also has a relatively small size for it to easily fit in briefcases and even in back packs. Another notable difference of a notebook computer from typical personal computers is on its display screen. Most notebook computers use a certain flat-panel technology which plays a vital role in coming up with a thin and small display screen.

Dell is one of the leading manufacturers of computers and software today. Some of their fine line of notebook computers includes the Inspiron Series, Studio and Studio XPS Series, Alienware, and Adamo. The Dell Inspiron Series is available in models with various sizes of display screens that range from 11 to 17 inches. They are also lightweight and range from 3.05 pounds up to 6.80 pounds. All of the Inspiron models are equipped with high definition widescreens and are packed with cool and exciting features that you need to brighten up your everyday experiences. With prices not exceeding $500, you are sure to have the greatest value out of your cash with Dell's Inspiron series. - 22787
