As you walk around in an elctronics superstore, you should have been attracted by attractive tiny laptops looking like to Sony Vaio s, but not even one fourth of the price of an vaio. The first question in your mind will be why are the big companies like Intel, Asus, Acer etc are selling these laptops so cheap when compared to Dell or HP or Lenovo ?
Welcome to world of “ Net books” , don’t think I have spelled wrongly, its not a notebook , it’s a netbook, tailored for the netizens. It’s the new buzz in the pc market in recession. Its born out of a simple idea, U ask 100 people that for what purpose u use a laptop the most, 95 percent will say they use it for browsing net and staying connected. So y do u need a powerful processor , big screens , useless softwares and hardwares in your laptop.
If somebody gives u a Netbook which is half the price of a Notebook, which will serve your entire internet needs, and give more and most importantly half the weight of an average laptop and extended battery backup.
Who are the pioneer in Net books: It’s the Taiwaness hardware majors Asus Eee PC and Acer

Intel Atom is the processor that powers some of the famous netbooks across the world. Google Android Netbooks are expected by 2010.
