A laptop is actually a portable computer. It has the same components as any PC (display screen, keyboard, mouse, hard drive, RAM memory, processor, etc) and it can also perform the same tasks as any computer. But the big difference is in size…a laptop is much smaller, thinner and lighter compared to a PC. Besides this it also has an included battery, which means that you don’t always need a power source, and you can use a laptop anywhere you want, anytime you need it. For example you can watch a movie while traveling with the train, or you can listen to some music while you are at a picnic, or you can browse the internet from your favorite coffee shop, and so on.




But since they have the big advantage of portability, the laptops are also more expensive compared to the desktop computers with the same features. So in case you really want to benefit from all the advantages of a laptop, but you just don’t have enough money, then you can choose a netbook.

A netbook looks just like any other laptop, only that it is even small and even lighter. It usually has a display screen of 10 inch, and also a smaller price. In order to save space and weight, a netbook doesn’t have an optical drive and also has a smaller keyboard and weaker features compared to a bigger laptop. But these features are just good enough for browsing the internet, and this is the main activity that netbook is made for.

You can buy netbooks from any laptop’s store, and you can also find really cheap laptops at Best Buy. For example you can buy one of the Best Buy’s 249 dollars laptops. And one of them is the brand new model, the HP – Mini Netbook / Intel ® Atom ™ Processor / 10.1 ” Display  – Black, Model: 110 – 3015 DX | SKU: 9996501.

As we said it has a price of 249 dollars, which is quite a small price, and it can be available for many people, compared to a bigger laptop that costs 1,000 dollars or more. Its features are pretty much the same as on any netbook, and it comes with an Intel ® Atom ™ processor N 450, which features a 667 MHz frontside bus, 512 KB L 2 cache and 1.66 GHz processor speed. The RAM memory is not so big, but big enough for easily browsing the internet – 1 GB of DDR 2 memory. Its display screen is the standard 10.1 ” WSVGA LED display with antiglare technology and a 1024 x 600 resolution. The hard drive is quite big for such a small laptop, and it will offer you plenty of space to store all sorts of files. It has a capacity of 160 GB and a rotation speed of 5400 rpm. The graphics engine is not very powerful, but anyway a netbook is not recommended for playing complex video games or watching High Definition movies, because the screen is just too small to offer you a good video quality. So you won’t even need a very powerful graphics card. It has an Intel ® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 with up to 256 MB total video memory.

But even though it is small, it still has a built in webcam for video chatting on the internet and a microphone. It also offers you a 2 in 1 media card reader for easy transfer of pictures and other files. (it supports Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard formats). For a netbook it has quite a good number of high speed USB ports – 3 and also audio ports and an Ethernet port. And since this device is specially made for browsing the internet, of course it also has wireless connectivity for easy access to the web.
