Why buy a netbook

Netbooks are the latest big hit in the computing world, but why should any user go out and buy one of these computers.

Netbooks don’t have to be your primary computer
They’re not underpowered for what they really do
They’re sitting on the edge of a ubiquitous connectivity revolution
You can dock
The price and size appeal is real

But are these computers all they are cracked up to be? Well it depends on what you want it for, these machines are often said to be underpowered which is probably right, but does that really matter when this machine is only going to be used for surfing the web.

One of the main cool points about a netbook is that these machines are great, they are small and you can get onto the internet no matter where you are, what is wrong with that?
