You can buy an SSD that's faster than a spinning platter disk in all respects (including random reads and random writes), but you may not want to pay for it.ДЄnother difference among Netbooks is battery life/power, with low-end models having 3-cell batteries and higher-end models having 6 cells. There is a huge variation in SSDs, and I don't know if XP performs reasonably well on the SSDs in other Netbooks.

The machine was reasonably zippy at running Linux, but just for fun he installed Windows XP on it. He started with an SSD-based Acer Aspire One running Linux. Tofel at jkOnTheRun did an interesting test. The reasons for this include: Windows XP needs more storage space, SSDs are more expensive and Windows itself is more expensive than Linux.ДЄnother reason has to do with the speed of SSDs-the cheap models are very slow at writing, especially at random writes. One of the big differences among Netbook models is the storage medium, some have spinning platter hard disks, other come with solid-state disks (SSDs).ДЇrequently the Linux based Netbooks employ SSDs whereas the Windows XP models use a standard hard disk. Then too, aД¬ell phone can provide mobile Internet access and communicate with the Netbook using Bluetooth.Д®ver-present Internet connections could make a huge difference in the popularity of Netbooks. Some will have the necessary hardware built in at the factory, others will support ExpressCard modems, the rest will make do with USB connections. Netbooks, as a rule, don't yet support 3G networks, but that will surely change in the near future. The latest technology for online access is a 3G data network. For many, communication will be the main purpose of their Netbook and there are still places where the only means of getting online is dialing the telephone. However, I think manufacturers are making a mistake by not including a telephone modem. I understand these omissions and many people can live with them. And, while they do have Ethernet and Wi-Fi, they don't include the fastest version of Ethernet (known as gigabit Ethernet), the latest version of Wi-Fi (N) or the older 'A' version of Wi-Fi.

Another omission is the now legacy PC card (aka PCMCIA) slot. CDs and DVDs had to be thrown overboard to reduce both the size and cost. Update: As of Octoprices at HP's website range from $400 to $780.Дespite a huge proliferation of Netbook models, these specs seem to be standard:ДЇor one thing, there is no optical drive. When HP first released their Mini-Notes, prices ran from $500 to $1,200. Still, many companies are marketing computers they refer to as Netbooks for more than that. To me, anything over $500 isn't a Netbook. The high end of the Netbook price range is debatable. Price-wise, Netbooks start at about (all prices are rounded off and approximate) $330 for a Linux-based model and $350 for an XP-based machine. Size-wise, Netbooks have 9- or 10-inch screens, weigh from 2 to 3 pounds, and sport keyboards sized from 80 percent to 95 percent of normal.

Windows 7, the upcoming version of Windows that will replace Vista, available on Netbooks. Update: On OctoCNET's Ina Fried reported that Microsoft has plans to make The price, however, was so high that it's debatable whether such a machine qualifies as a Netbook.

HP has been the only company to offer Vista on a Netbook. Likewise, Apple arbitrarily restricts OS X to Apple hardware and it has never played in the low-end realm that Netbooks occupy.* Vista requires too much horsepower to run well on a Netbook.

Microsoft arbitrarily restricts Netbooks from running the Professional Edition of Windows XP.

They do not run XP Professional, Vista, or OS X. Netbooks run either Windows XP Home edition or Linux (not only is Linux unfamiliar to many, but the versions of Linux on Netbooks are not the mainstream popular distributions). They are small, cheap, under-powered, and run either an old or unfamiliar operating system.

So, here I try to explain just what Netbooks are and how they differ from the millions of laptop computers that existed previously.ДЄ Netbook is a new type of laptop computer, defined by size, price, horsepower, and operating system. In writing a follow-up posting, I realized that an introduction to Netbooks might be needed. A quick look at the best selling computers at shows many Netbooks (as of Octothe top three computers were all Netbooks). Last time, while describing the Lenovo IdeaPad S10, I offered my opinion that Netbook computers will drastically change the computing scene.
