Looking for a new computer that's inexpensive, efficient, and highly portable? Perhaps the Netbook is just the solution. Offering extreme portability due to largely decreased size – Netbooks can range from screens of 8.9” to 10.1” in the most common models – the netbook is a large step forward for students, artists, writers, and business professionals seeking a truly mobile solution to increase their productivity.

The best way to think of a netbook is that it is simply a smaller, more portable and battery efficient version of the standard laptop computer, sacrificing some graphical capability and screen size in order to achieve other benefits.
