Lots of traction lately out there about the emergence of netbooks as being a very low expense option for much more standard fully featured notebooks. Netbooks really are a type of basic machine, primarily optimized for e mail and net browsing. Smaller dimension, decrease overall performance. I don’t recommend that you try to beat Kasparov with one of these. This is how PC World describes the category.
Netbooks (aka mini-notebooks, mini-notes or “laptots”) are perfect travel companions and meet standard computing needs,

Lenovo already sells a very successful IdeaPad netbook called the S10. The product runs on the popular Intel Atom processor weighing in at 2.65 pounds and is about an inch thin. The S10 has received a lot of very positive reviews since we introduced it. PC World included the S10 in their top 10 netbook list claiming the number 3 position with a nicely designed machine that even comes in several colors. Pink is one of the choices.
What if Lenovo was to make a ThinkPad branded netbook? Would you say, “What a relief,
Windows 7 Home Premium Product Key, finally a netbook that really means business” ? What would you like to see in such a hypothetical offering? How black and square should we make it? Maybe it should come in colors like the IdeaPad S10. Could I interest you in a PinkPad?
Seriously,
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Key, designing a netbook is a difficult task that is very different from designing a traditional ThinkPad. These micro marvels just don’t exist without making trade-offs. User experience items like keyboard stroke,
Windows 7 Key, overall layout, key spacing, palmrest size, and pointing device options are all instantly thrown under the development electron microscope for examination. Beyond the usability issues, we also have to balance the typical functionality criteria such as weight, thickness, battery life, wireless technology, footprint and of course cost. Hard to leave expense out of this equation. This is all about reaching the optimum balance point. It’s very important to remember that when we are done, these “laptots” are not intended to be the overall performance rival of your newly purchased W700. Different user scenario, different product. If the netbook performance and usability compromises don’t interest you, but portability does, you should really check out the ThinkPad X200.
I would love to get your thoughts on this topic. Thanks.
