#13: Consider a netbook as your next portable computer

Are you in a market for a new laptop? You may want to consider buying a netbook instead. What are the advantages of going for a netbook as opposed to a more traditional laptop?

1. Netbooks are cheap. Netbooks can have a price range of just $200-$400.

2. Netbooks are lightweight. Typically from just 2-3 pounds. Very good for road warriors

3. Netbook starts fast and runs fast. The operating system is a strip down version of either Linux or Windows XP. Forget Windows VISTA.

4. Very simple, no frills. Netbooks are designed to tightly integrate with web-applications such as email, web browsing or cloud computing.

I have an eepc as my second laptop. It's very portable and serves me well when am traveling or plan to work in a coffee shop or the library.

There are many netbook brand to choose from aside from what I just mentioned. There the HP Mini, acer one or the dell mini just to mention a few.
