Hi all,
Just wondering whether mini notebooks , what is popularly known as netbooks
are available in India. I have not heard anyone mentioning it on the list. I
just bought a couple of them last week and they are really great! They come
preloaded with Windows XP home and the keyboard is almost like laptop. The
display is smaller in size. For example, I bought them with 8.9 inch and
that's reasonable enough even for a sighted person to use the system. The
only disadvantage is that they do not come with CD/DVD drives and henceforth
one has to get external ones. But in comparison to their advantages, I do
not mind having my netbook without CD drive. For example, Netbooks are the
only available PC models with Windows XP. Second, They are much lighter to
carry and under 3 LBS. I would say about 2 KG. The solid space drives are
lighter than hard drive and I actually whent for that. And of course, they
are under $300 and many standard brands on the PC world carry their
netbooks.
Regards,
Vetri.
