In modern years, laptops have overtaken desktops as the main computing platform for consumers. Even more recently, netbooks have taken over laptops to come to be some of the best-selling buyer Pcs around the world. Are netbooks certainly becoming the computing platform of the future?
The popularity of netbooks boils down to a well-known fact. The majority of laptop users use their laptops for surfing the net, checking their emails, and running simple applications (instead of serious work or play). Because of that getting a quarterly laptop would be overkill. A netbook can perform all those simple computing tasks and in expanding to that, is so much cheaper and way more transportable than quarterly laptops. A netbook has since come to be a must-have for every Pc user. The Asus 1005Ha and the Toshiba Mini are examples of some of the best netbooks models in the market.

Nevertheless, netbooks are not without their limitations. The small screen, petite computing power and cramped keyboard of a netbook restricts its use to simple computing tasks. If you need to do some serious work/play, a full-featured (and full-sized) laptop would still prove to be a best buy. Here, you will either have to give in to a bulky, budget-friendly laptop or fork out the extra dough (probably 00 or more) for an ultra-slim, ultra-light and full-featured laptop such as the Apple MacBook air that costs around 00-00 each.
So is it potential to have it all in the laptop world? Is it potential to find a cheap, transportable yet mighty laptop model in the market? Believe it or not, there is! Recently, there is a boom in what I would call 'hybrid laptop' models that combines that portability and affordability of a netbook, along with the computing mighty of a full-featured laptop. Laptop models like the Acer Aspire Timeline and the Acer Aspire As1410 series are practically as mighty as full-sized laptops yet strive to keep the size and price tag of a netbook. The Acer Aspire As1410-8804 11.6-inch laptop for instance has about the same weight of a netbook but bellies an Intel Core 2 processor, a full-sized keyboard, a Hd screen and a 250Gb hard drive. The best part is, it is just - more high-priced than a quarterly netbook model.
