Why Netbooks Make Great Christmas Gifts

Did you know that for less than $500 you can get a powerful full-featured computer that is also compact, stylish and light?

Introducing – Netbooks (also called mini notebooks or subnotebooks), a hot ticket in Europe, being slowly introduced to the US market. Since their emergence in 2007 netbooks have steadily improved in specs and now there is very little distinction between a netbook and a small notebook in terms of computing power.

A typical netbook weighs only 3 lbs, has a 12″ screen and costs up to $500. Since it is optimized for regular home use, a netbook is perfect for surfing, looking up information, playing movies or even games. A netbook is light, compact, and has excellent battery life. A 12″ ultra crisp screen is more than enough for performing daily tasks.

While some people use their iPhone or a bulky, hot laptop for surfing and email checking, it is worth considering that a typical iPhone only has a 3.5″ screen, and seriously lacks features and CPU power (it’s browser can’t even play Flash). Do you know how much an iPhone costs? An iPhone costs as much as the most powerful netbook.

Let’s look at the specs for the upcoming ASUS EEEPC 1201N:

- 3GB RAM – 320 GB Harddrive – HDMI out (to hookup directly to your HD TV) – 11 hours of battery life – 12″ ultra bright screen – Wi-Fi- Bluetooth – Webcam – Windows 7 – SD Card slot

All that for just $500! A similarly equipped Apple MacBook starts at $999, and it won’t be as light and long lasting. It is also worth mentioning that it is possible to install Mac OS X on any netbook, though it is against Apple’s policies.

While most people are only preparing to do their Christmas shopping, you can easily cross one off the list – a netbook will make a great affordable gift for anyone.
