What is a netbook?
A netbook is a small and affordable mobile device for internet use and basic tasks such as:
- Internet research/browsing
- Email
- Instant messaging
- Online photos
- Streaming videos or music
As a compact, light-weight internet companion device to your PC, a netbook is typically powered by an Intel® Atom™ processor and has a screen ranging from 7" to 10.2" in size.
If you are looking for a full mobile PC experience with more features, capabilities, and performance for multi-tasking, watching Blu-ray* discs, or video editing, consider the power of an Intel® Centrino® 2 processor based full-feature notebook.
