A Quick Guide to Netbooks

| Price is probably the most compelling, followed by the feature set. In my own
| experience, I’m finding that the Linux implementations are a third factor.
| While many netbook makers are offering custom Linux builds for simplicity,
| they have to balance that with the ability for the everyday consumer to add,
| extend and customize their own experience.

| The low-cost Wind matches the spec of its pricier stablemates but comes in at
| £269 ($485/€332) instead of £329 ($593/€406) by coming pre-loaded with Linux
| and sporting an 8.9in, 1024 x 600 display instead of a 10in screen.

AMD and ARM are going to enter this market as well. The Asian manufacturers

How to Buy a Mini-laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| The Acer opening screen I just referred to is based on Linux, and the Aspire
| one comes with the Linpus Linux Lite OS, which is very user friendly. I've
| used Windows for most of my life but switching to Linux to try out the Aspire
| one was smooth and easy.
|
| Most of the netbooks I tested with Linux OSs booted up far faster than
| Windows XP or Windows Vista (I would not buy a netbook with Vista, it's just
| too slow).
|
| There are also free Linux-based word processing programs, spreadsheets etc.
| available on the Internet such as Open Office, Google Pack, which includes
| Sun's StarOffice or Web-based software such as Google Apps.
