Are Netbooks The Perfect Student Laptops?

Netbooks are everywhere, on buses, on trains, on planes... and in
the classroom. It seems the little netbook has come out of
nowhere to become extremely popular overnight.
But what is a netbook?
Netbooks usually have screens of 10 inches or less, runs Windows
or Linux and generally sell for well under $500. As its name
indicates, the netbook's main purpose is to keep its owner
conveniently connected to the net - anywhere, anytime.
First introduced by Asustek when it launched the first Eee PC in
the fall of 2007. But it was only in the last year when we saw
the explosive growth of these so-called mini-laptops. Now we have
many computer companies such as HP, Dell, Lenovo... all jumping
on this craze for a small portable laptop. So much so, that
netbooks now is the fastest growing segment of the laptop
industry and is expected to reach 139 million units by 2013.
Why is there a sudden popularity for the small netbook? Perhaps
the answer lies mainly in our constant quest for mobility. We
want a portable device that will keep us connected to the
Internet and yet be small and light enough to be carried around
all day. A truly ultra-portable device that keeps us connected
with family, friends and the web.
The next question you have to ask: why do netbooks make for great
student laptops? If the above reasons aren't enough, try the
following:
Size
Netbooks are small with 10 inch displays or less, which make them
ideal for students. Plus, they are usually very lightweight -
around 2 or 3 pounds. They are compact enough to tuck into your
school bag or backpack, and small enough to carry around all day
without developing a hernia.
Portability
As mentioned above because the netbook is so small and compact,
it is very portable. A very mobile device that we can use to stay
connected to the web and friends. Connectability is one of the
main features - you are connected to the web at all times.
Sturdiness
Most netbooks are designed to be sturdy and tough. They can take
a few hard knocks and still keep on working. Students are not
exactly the most gentle creatures on the planet, so a sturdy
tough machine is needed to handle the demands put upon it.
Battery Life
Because of their small size, you will usually get better battery
life than with a regular sized laptop. This is important to the
student since you may have to go all day without a chance to
re-charge the battery. Long lasting battery life makes the
netbook the perfect student laptop.
Performance
Although small, these mini-laptops still sports some very
impressive specs. Many now come with at least 1 Gig of RAM and
Intel Atom processors. There are even some with Solid State Hard
Drives which make them more durable and less likely to be
damaged. Most use Windows XP - newer models debuting this year
with the Nvidia's Ion platform may have Vista or Windows 7, but
still don't expect the kind of performance you would get from a
regular laptop.
Storage
While storage on netbooks is constantly increasing, it is still
nowhere near the kind of storage you will find on a regular sized
laptop. Usually, most devices have around 30 or 60 Gig hard
drives which should be adequate for most student's needs. Many
newer netbooks have 160 Gigs of storage.
Price
Perhaps, the main reason netbooks make the perfect student
laptops is the low price. Students are usually on a very limited
budget and the low price-tag is a perfect fit. Many perfectly
adequate machines are now priced in the $300 to $500 range -
while many good ones go for well under $300. Plus, prices are
steadily dropping so almost any student can now afford a netbook.
As you can plainly see, the netbook does have many features to
make it a perfect student laptop: small size, very portable,
excellent connections, very sturdy, long battery life, good
performance, adequate storage and most of all, a very affordable
price almost any student can take advantage of. Overall, netbooks
are well suited for the classroom and the student.
