5 Reasons to Get a Netbook in 2009

Netbooks have been in the hi-tech spotlight for the last 2 years. The first netbook was released in 2007 and estimations say that, by 2012, there will be 50 million units sold. If you`re thinking of going with the flow and buying a netbook, we`ll give you 5 reasons not to regret your decision.

It`s all about the size! A netbook is especially designed to fit anywhere you want: whether it`s brief case, a backpack or a bag, you can easily put it in and take it everywhere with you. The screen size varies between 7 to 12 inches and offers you good image quality, powerful colors and clarity.

If it`s not all about the size, it must be about the weight! A netbook is as light as it can be, weighing no more than 2.9 lbs., so you can carry it wherever you go. The advantage here is that anyone can carry such a light computer: a child, a woman, an elder. It does not cause any difficulty or distress.

Another reason to get a netbook is that you can have any operating system you have on your personal computer: Windows, Linux, Google Chrome OS, Mac OS X and others like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin and Moblin, so you don`t have to change anything major.

More to that, you don`t have to worry that your battery will give in after 2 hours of browsing the web. The newest models of netbook have a 6 cell battery, that keeps it `alive` for up to 8 hours. There are also the average models, with a 3 or 4 cell battery, enough to keep you connected for a few hours.

The last reason to buy a netbook computer is probably the most convincing one of all: the price. You can enjoy spending your time browsing the net, shopping online, chatting or uploading pictures on your favorite social network, in whichever operating system you want by buying a small, light weight, 10 inch screen for only 350$. You get good quality for little money.
