Netbooks are the new trends in IT gadget world , Netbooks are meant for wireless communication and access to internet.It can be considered as a scaled down version of a laptop.
A netbook can weight an average of 3 lb (1.5 kb) and 9 Inch wide screen and cost approximately $300-$400. Asus Eee PC 701 hit the market with Netbooks at the beginning of 2008 If you are planning to buy a netbook be-aware of these things , Netbook screen is small, Processor is compromised, Keyboard is smaller. So it is not meant to be considered as your primary computer. If you travel a lot and you need to be on internet and internet related applications all the time,then netbooks would be a wise choice.
