Netbooks are computers that can do limited tasks, such as checking email and internet searching. They can only run everything on low settings as they aren't designed for much more than simple tasks.

Notebooks (laptops) and tablets (like the iPad) are generally better.

Netbooks are good for Surfing the Internet, playing YouTube videos, and other Internet-based things. They will play music from anything, and video too, can play games on them. Netbooks are great computers for taking anywhere or on a vacation because they are so small.

The Intel atom-based netbook is a great little piece of technology. It is lightweight and easy to take anywhere.

The advantage to using a netbook is portability. Normally a netbook is defined as a 9-inch, 10-inch, or 12-inch screen, and having a screen this small makes the overall dimensions just slightly larger than a magazine in footprint. This means that you can easily use them on an airplane in even the most cramped of circumstances and still are able to open them up completely for typing. The interesting thing is that even with these smaller dimensions, most of the manufacturers are still able to keep the keyboard almost as large as a normal laptop keyboard. Another advantage of these netbooks is their amazing battery life.

I am using an Intel atom-based netbook, as it is lightweight and easy to take anywhere you can enjoy reading ebooks, playing games, and work that is associated with your nature of job.
