Seems I have been out of the loop for too long… someone asked me if they should get a desktop, laptop or netbook…. I gave them a blank stare. What was netbooks? I had to look it up and find out. It’s a ‘mini laptop’ or a ‘big iphone’… basically. It doesn’t have the power of a laptop to do a lot of software but can do internet surfing and emailing. It is bigger than an iphone, so it has a nicer screen and bigger keyboard. Still not sure which group of people are more likely to buy it. It is not enough for the tweens and younger because you can’t load all their software on it… maybe the teenagers or younger adults would like it for portability to msg/email and keep up with youtube? But it looks a little small for the “over 60″ crowd…. you would need a bigger screen and keyboard. Heck, I’m almost at that age… I just increased the font size on my desktop!
Oh well… so many new toys… wonder which one I should check out next?
My brother has a netbook. I can’t fathom the reason why. Tiny screen, cramped keyboard.
exactly! That is what i thought when I saw one.
