Buying Guide for: Netbooks

I'm gonna tell you some guides for buying netbooks. But before I tell you, I've to introduce about "what's netbook?"

Netbook is a personal portable computer with smaller dimension and weight compared to laptop. Its main function was to browse the internet and word/excel processing. Sometime, it could even used for entertainments, like watching movies and play games. But, due to its design only to surf the internet and word processing, it lacks of optical drive, has smaller screen, which sometime makes it hard to see small words in it and lack some mainstream graphic processing unit, which makes it better when watching HD movies or while using graphic intensive programs/games. Keyboard design also shrank smaller then laptops, resulting in harder typing but higher portability. Due to its size and portability, peoples are more and more taking it into the outside world, rather than like some laptops which sits at home as it's too large to be taken anywhere.

Today netbooks are designed better then their predecessors. Some changes include larger screen, more efficient battery perhaps, or even better graphic processing unit. But, if you look at their specs, they're remarkably same from every manufacturers, especially their processors. This makes people hard and sometime confused of choosing better netbooks. So, that's why I'm making this guide for you to read and understand to buy which netbook according to your purpose. 

• If your purpose was only to surf the web, any netbook suit your need and just see their prices to suit your budget. 
• If the purpose was portable multimedia player or gaming (gaming not recommended), then choose some netbook which has larger screen size and resolution and avoid any 'Intel Graphics Media Accelerator' word on their spec and find another one which includes the word 'ATI(' or 'NVIDIA', but definitely not 'VIA'.
• If your purpose was portability, then choose the one with the smallest dimension and weight, if you didn't think about screen and keyboard size. 
• It's better to have longer battery live (6-cell was better), because you don't want to be interrupted in the middle of blogging, right?

So, it's better to choose depend on your purpose. If netbooks doesn't suit your needs, it's recommended to choose laptop, as netbooks seems to have problem installing from CDs.
