Why Netbooks ?

Chances are if you’ve landed on this page, you’re wondering what all the fuss is about with netbooks. Some people consider them to be nothing more than underpowered laptops used as a marketing gimmick by companies, while others (like me) consider them a great product right in the middle of cell phones and laptops when it comes to functionality.

Since the netbook can be used in so many different fields, and you’ll need to look for slightly different attributes for each, I took the liberty of dividing the site up into several different sections.

I’m a freelance writer first and foremost, so if you happen to be a fellow writer, you can find out the best netbooks for your business, why netbooks are great for writers, and even applications that I’ve found useful on my netbook.  Click here to read the Netbooks for Writers section.

Netbooks are a great product for business too, especially when you find yourself on a plane or needing something light and powerful to bring around with you. Find out how a netbook can make your business life easier at Netbooks for Business.

Speaking of travel, do you just want to be able to check your favorite sites and email from the hotel, but you don’t want or need to lug around a 8 pound monstosity? You need to come over to our Netbooks for Travel section, where you’ll find low cost and rugged options for netbooks, as well as applications and accessories that will make your travels much easier.

Going to school and need to find the perfect note taker and social networking tool? The Netbooks for Students section will show you great low cost options that give you a great little device to take notes on, and update your Myspace at the same time.

Netbooks are already one of the lowest cost types of computers you can get – but if you need the best savings possible, the Budget Netbooks section and the Netbook Deals will have you covered.

Looking for information on a specific type of netbook, or just want to see what your favorite netbook companies are coming up with next? Here are Why Netbooks? individual company sections:  HP Netbooks, Dell Netbooks, Asus Netbooks, MSI Netbooks, Sony Netbooks, Lenovo Netbooks, Toshibia Netbooks, Acer Netbooks, and Samsung Netbooks.

If you’re looking for a particular platform, check out the Windows Netbook section and the Linux Netbook section. Now I will admit that I have never used Linux myself, so hopefully I don’t botch some of the explanations TOO bad.

Get a netbook as part of a Verizon wireless broadband package? Find out how to use your new netbook to the fullest with the Mobile Broadband Netbook section.

Have a netbook already, and need accessories for it? Our sister site Netbook Cases has netbook cases (obviously) and every other recommended accessory that you could possibly need to make great use out of your netbook.

Well there you have it – we cover pretty much everything netbook related that you could imagine, and we’ll also be adding in new sections as we continue to grow.  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you fall in love with netbooks as much as I have.
