Netbooks for Business: Thinking Big Means Thinking Small
The laptop is undoubtedly one of the more popular tools for business executives, second only perhaps to the smartphone. While netbooks have been around for quite some time, it hasn’t quite captured as many users what with issues of limited power and incomplete feature set. These days, however, it may be more practical to use a netbook in place of a laptop.
Reasons to Use a Netbook
The recently concluded Computex 2009 should be proof that the next generation netbooks will boast of features that may rival that of a laptop’s. Some of the devices slated for release later this year make use of processors that not only increase performance but also allow for enhanced video and graphics capabilities. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip alone will allow netbooks to have the same appealing attributes of a smartphone such as 3G connectivity and excellent battery life. Other chips promise to deliver speed even as low power consumption capability is enhanced.
More and more manufacturers are coming out with netbooks running on the Google platform Android which will perhaps provide superior user experience compared to Windows XP or Linux that netbooks typically run on.
One of the drawbacks of a netbook is screen and keyboard size but that is no longer an issue as there are several docking options available to the user. You can attach the netbook to an external screen, keyboard or a mouse. If docking isn’t to your liking, Synaptics is slated to release its latest touch pad model, the ClickPad, which enables consumers to use finger gestures to operate the netbook.
Recommendations
If you’re looking at netbooks for use as a business tool, there are a few recommendations that provide good value for money. The HP Mini 1000 is optimized for Internet tasks and entertainment. It operates on a Linux-based software so you also get open source software as extras such as OpenOffice and Thunderbird. The HP Mini 1000 is exquisitely designed with a 10 inch screen made of flush glass. The screen makes for convenient surfing and users might find the keyboard a plus as it is almost the same size as a regular keyboard.
The user interface of the Acer Aspire One makes the computing experience decidedly more convenient. The homescreen is organized into four areas: work, connect, files and fun. You can create documents, spreadsheets and multimedia presentations easily on this netbook. Connectivity is also simplified with features such as single sign-on which enables you to manage all your e-mail and IM accounts in one click.
Challenges
While netbook sales have been steadily increasing over the past few years, there is reason to believe the netbook industry will be in for some serious competition from ultra-thin laptops especially as these laptops will be priced more affordably. Customers with a few more dollars to spare may not mind shelling out extra cash to get a full-range laptop instead of a netbook.
The focus on creating low-voltage chips in ultra-thin laptops may also figure in importantly in consumer choices. The chips will be operating under Intel Core 2 which is more efficient than Atom processors typically found in netbooks. GP

Netbook $82.85 Netbooks (sometimes also called mini notebooks or ultraportables) are a branch of subnotebooks, a rapidly evolving category of small, light and inexpensive laptop computers suited for general computing and accessing webbased applications; they are often marketed as companion devices, that is, to augment a users other computer access. Walt Mossberg called them a relatively new category of small, light, minimalist and cheap laptops. By August 2009, CNET called netbooks nothing more than smaller, cheaper notebooks.
