Net books are indeed all the rage in India. You can get most popular brands such asAsus, Dell, Samsung etc. The only brand that I know of that is probably not available is Fujitsu .

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.
