Netbooks: Small, Fast and Cheap - Mini laptops make great travel companions, but they won't replace your PC

摘要

NETBOOKS CAN BE A BOON for travelers and students on a tight budget, as long as you are not put off by a few design compromises. Weighing from 2 to 4 pounds and measuring less than 10 inches long, they're lightweight and compact - and, at $500 or less, they won't bust your budget. Plus, they're Wi-Fi ready, so Internet access is a breeze.
