Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversWho saw this coming? In the day and age of quad-core CPUs, 17-inch laptop displays, and terabyte hard disks, who’d have thought small laptops with slow CPUs and little storage would set the world afire. But that’s just what’s happened.
Yet manufacturers are discovering that many users don’t care. Sales are up, and the category’s hot, with companies tripping over themselves to introduce new netbook models.
Why? Many users seek simple devices they can use to access the Internet, send and receive e-mail, and edit basic office documents and spreadsheets. That’s it. They don’t need expensive features they’ll never really need or use. They just want access to the much heralded “cloud.”
However, not every netbook is right for every user. Before you join the ranks of 8.9-inch, 1.33GHz-CPU, 1GB-RAM netbook users, here are 10 elements to consider.
1: Operating system
2: Display size
3: Battery life
4: Keyboard and pointer buttons
5: Storage space
6: Optical drive
7: Weight
8: Expansion capacity
9: CPU
10: Integrated wireless options

so all the things that matter is what we should look for? i had no idea
what's with the recent postings from zdnet blog? they're just a bunch of wannabes.
what about price?!?
i guess that's the #1 most important thing, or else the 10
things listed above isin't for a netbook, but for an umpc
lv1: the general public bunch who relies on magazines and sites like zdnet or cnet on
consumer tech info. tomshardware has recently become one of those site as well.
lv2: your typical hardware enthusiasts bunch reading sites like anandtech on how to grow
their e-pen*s.
lv3: the extremists and benchmarkers that takes a scientific
approach to things. reading up datasheets and whitepapers for modification.
i'm sure same sort of categories can be applied to the massive scale enterprise and
software world, differentiating n00bz, wannabes from the elites.
keznews feels
like lv1 now, which wasn't the case when i first visited a few years ago.
