Anybody Using Netbook Here ?

[Sociologist PU]

Netbook is a small/lightweight laptop getting popular these days. I went to buy one today but find it too small and became double-minded and return back without one.
I wonder if any member is using that "mini" computer here and would like to share his/her experience so that i can make up my mind or decide for another one.

Hi,

I am using Asus netbook with powerful intel core duo processor inside.I am really impressed with the way it works.It has powerful battery lasting 3 hours.
It has good speed.I didnt buy it from Pakistan in fact
my bro sent it to me from Germany as a gift.
But it has low storage capacity,but is ideal for simple work on internet.It has speed,style,easiness and is able to be carried to any place unlike those personal computers,but yes with flash drive you can store any thing.
But it is costly and my bro bought it for 52 thousand Pakistani rupees.I
dont know its price in Euros,but it is very costly.
It depends on you whether you like to buy it or not.
But if you like to carry your pc with you then buy it other wise laptops are a nice option as compared to netbook.

my netbook has its own webcam.And i like this feature a lot.I have taken hundreds
of pics using it.I have been able to use the built in camera to snap
test shots.It has video feature also and can be used for chatting.
You can use this webcam for taking pics,recording videos,and video chat.
All you need is to set it up in settings.

And one thing i want to made it clear here is that i am not a tech savvy
girl so i dont know about its other features i hope i have given you correct information.

But my bro just discarded it as he was not interested in it so he sent it to me
because according to him laptops are good as compared to these netbooks.He has bought
a Lenovo laptop and he is very happy with its performance.

One of its main defect is that it has really small screen and because of this it has affected my eyesight.Now i am thinking about getting glassess.

For better viewing i have to take out my old pc monitor from store and to connect it with this netbook to have enlarged screen and better viewing.
So if you have bad eye sight dont get it.At least i am not able to see from it properly.

I hope i have given you correct information regarding it,but i will advice
you to buy laptop instead of netbook because my brother just regreted for buying
it.
So laptop is great choice.Good luck.

regards,
Gul.

Thanks a lot Gul for detailed information.
Yes i want to use it for internet only but small screen and keyboard forced me to change my descion. However, the feature of built-in cam and vedio making facilty as told by u has again produced interest in me. And if it can be attached with a larger screen, then it has much advantage cuz the laptop is available around 50,000 while this is available around 30,000 here in Lahore.
Anyway, i will think and wait the openion of some other ppl. before going for it.
