Netbook Reviews For Students

By Rick Amorey

One of the reasons why netbooks are so popular these days then the bigger, more functional laptops is because of their relative cheapness to said laptops. The cheapest ones cost about $300-$500 per unit, and a student can buy it with a few weeks of allowance money. On the other hand, notebook computers are priced at least $1000; and the price discrepancy is clearly defined.

As the student's life continue to become more Internet-based, the need to stay connected as much as possible likewise continues to increase. These days, professors allow you to submit your paper on their email, or even require reading from a website. A student who doesn't have a laptop finds himself disadvantaged when compared to his peers.

So these are two reasons right there; it is necessary for a student's life, and affordable as well. But then, if it's so important to be online these days, you might as well look good while you're on it, right? That is the third factor that makes these small laptops desirable; for on the world of gadgets, small is sexy. There's nothing geeky about them, so students can be proud of their fashionable netbooks.

With that, people who are in the market to buy these cheap and affordable netbooks should know what they want. With the number of preconceptions about these computers is the notion that they are just miniaturized laptops. Their main difference is the functionality. If all you need out of a laptop is quick Internet access, Instant Messaging and to check your e-mail, then this machine is perfect for you.

But if your needs as a student extend to intensive applications like Photoshop or if you'd like to be able to do some gaming adequately, then you should look for a full-pledged notebook instead. They will deliver you what you need better; it just won't be as affordable, and it'll be harder to bring it around.
