Whether people like it or not, netbooks have been part of the portfolio of notebook manufacturers. Since Asus hit the nail on the head in 2007 with its EEE series, there has been much controversy around it. Are they worth the money or are they junk and should be replaced by something else?
I’ve come across comments about netbooks that they are completely useless. It got me thinking because I’ve been a happy netbook user for six months, in fact it is the only computer I used during this period of time and I’ve been satisfied so far. It does things it was never made for, and gets me surprised every day that technology can put this much power in such a small case. So I was wondering why people hate them so much, while they could be happy about their new mini computers instead.
1. People don’t educate themselves about the differences between netbooks and normal laptops. They buy them because they think the friendlier price tag only comes from the small size. It does not, there is much more into these portable bundles of joy than they’d think.
