Technoholik: Demystifying nettops and netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Although I loved the tiny size and the
| portability, it was a nightmare typing on the
| cramped keyboard and installing additional
| programs made the Windows XP grind to a
| snailâs pace. After six months, half the
| screen went dead so I unscrewed the display,
| connected the keyboard to a spare monitor and
| thus converted my netbook into a nettop! And
| oh, I recently installed Ubuntu, (an operating
| system based on Linux) on it and itâs running
| like a dream.

Researcher: Chrome to boost Atom to ARM switch in netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| LONDON â Technology changes, including the introudction of the Chrome
| OS, will undermine Atom's grip on the netbook market during a
| recessionary time when people don't want, and can't afford, a second
| laptop just to carry around say market researchers, The Information Network.
|
| While Intel's Atom holds more than an 80 percent share of the
| 23.5-million netbooks sold in 2009 the ARM processor will to gain a 55
| percent market share of the 96.0 million netbooks sold in 2012,
| according to researchers.
|
| "We see two technology factors converging with the poor macroeconomic
| situation that will create a market for ARM - the release of the
| Cortex-9 microarchitecture and the emergence of cloud computing," said
| Dr. Robert Castellano, president of The Information Network (New
| Tripoli, PA). "Chrome OS is the first operating system built with cloud
| computing in mind."
